Description Abstract: Line coverage for geologic lines including isograds, axial traces, cross-section lines, etc.. Includes annotation for geologic names such as plutons and locations for sample sites. The geologic data was mapped during the summer of 1998 at a scale of 1:24,000. The bedrock geology was mapped using standard techniques. Locational information was provided by Rockwell PLGR+96 GPS receivers using the federal precise positioning service. The line and polygon data were compiled on a mylar greenline of the 7.5-minute quadrangle and scanned at 400 dpi on an Anatech Eagle 4080T scanner. The raster files (TIF) were converted to vector files (DXF) using GTX OSR version 2.0 raster-to-vector conversion software. The vector files were imported to Arc/Info version 7.0.4. Point data were collected with GPS and hand held 3COM Palm Pilot III PDA computers. Data from the PDAs were combined in Microsoft Access, and then imported as ASCII text files and (dbf) files into Arc/Info. The Arc/Info coverages were registered and transformed to the New Hampshire State Plane Coordinate system. Purpose: The map was published as part of a study of the fractured bedrock aquifers in the state of New Hampshire. The digital data are intended for use by all government, academic, commercial, or other agencies in need of digital geologic map information. Limitations_of_Data: Not intended for use at scales larger than 1:24,000. Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: Procedures_Used: Revisions: Reviews_Applied_to_Data: The geology dataset was printed and visually reviewed by the map authors and other USGS staff for geologic integrity, completeness, and accuracy of linework. The report received a standard internal peer review as per USGS Open-File Reports.
