Publication_Date: 2000 Title: Geologic Map Database of the El Mirage Lake Area, San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties, California Edition: 1.0 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report Issue_Identification: 00-222 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Menlo Park, CA Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://wrgis.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of00-222 Online_Linkage: http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of00-222 Description: Abstract: This geologic map database for the El Mirage Lake area describes geologic materials for the dry lake, parts of the adjacent Shadow Mountains and Adobe Mountain, and much of the piedmont extending south from the lake upward toward the San Gabriel Mountains. This area lies within the western Mojave Desert of San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties, southern California. The area is traversed by a few paved highways that service the community of El Mirage, and by numerous dirt roads that lead to outlying properties. An off-highway vehicle area established by the Bureau of Land Management encompasses the dry lake and much of the land north and east of the lake. The physiography of the area consists of the dry lake, flanking mud and sand flats and alluvial piedmonts, and a few sharp craggy mountains. This digital geologic map database, intended for use at 1:24,000-scale, describes and portrays the rock units and surficial deposits of the El Mirage Lake area. It was prepared as part of a water-resource assessments of the area, describing and interpreting surface geology that provides information to help understand distribution and extent of deeper groundwater-bearing units. The area mapped covers the Shadow Mountains SE and parts of the Shadow Mountains, Adobe Mountain, and El Mirage 7.5-minute quadrangles. The map database includes detailed geology of surface and bedrock deposits, which represent a significant update from previous bedrock geologic maps by Dibblee (1960) and Troxel and Gunderson (1970), and the surficial geologic map of Ponti and Burke (1980); it incorporates a fringe of the detailed bedrock mapping in the Shadow Mountains by Martin (1992). Purpose: This digital geologic map database, intended for use at 1:24,000-scale, describes and portrays the rock units and surficial deposits of the El Mirage Lake area. It was prepared as part of a water-resource assessments of the area, describing and interpreting surface geology that provides information to help understand distribution and extent of deeper groundwater-bearing units. Map data were assembled as a digital database using ARC/INFO to enable wider applications than traditional paper-product geologic maps and to provide for efficient integration with other digital data bases prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey's Southern California Areal Mapping Project (http://geology.wr.usgs.gov/wgmt/scamp), other federal and state agencies, and the Mojave Water Agency.

Geologic lines attributed as a 'contact' do not separate geologic map units of the same type. Completeness_Report: This report is intended to completely describe the surficial and bedrock materials of the map area at a scale of 1:24000. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy of line locations is carried in the database and displayed by different line symbols (solid vs. dashed lines) in the cartographic display. For the purpose of this database, solid lines represent contacts and faults located with an accuracy greater than 10 m and commonly greater than 5 m. Dashed lines represent two kinds of less certainly located features, each distinguished in the database: 1) contacts and faults located with an accuracy of 10 to 15 m, 2) contacts that represent gradational boundaries between adjacent units. Gradational contacts represent interleaving of sediments and smooth gradations in characteristics such as percentage of eolian sand. In general, these gradations take place over distances of 50 to 150 m. Lineaments and fold axes are lines whose positions do not affect location of polygons; they are located with an accuracy of 25 m.

These layers are: a geology layer (elm-geol), a geologic structure layer (elm-str), locations of spring mounds (elm-spr), locations of dated samples (elm-kar), areas of previous mapping (elm-srcs), areas of mapping strategies (elm-strat), locations of field observations (elm-obs), and a vector representation of a topographic map (elm-topo). Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The primary layer is the geology layer (elm-geol), which consists of both polygon features and arc features that describes map units (polygons), and depositional contacts, faults (which may or may not be polygon bounding features) and map boundaries. Map units (polygons) are described in the polygon attribute table (elm-geol.pat). The identities of the map units are recorded in the PTYPE field by map label (i.e. Qvof). For a description of the map units, consult the PostScript or PDF explanation pamphlets in this report. Areal features in the geology layer (ELM-GEOL) that require attributes other than a map unit, are given unique identification numbers in the ITEMID field. ITEMID provides a common field to which other tabular data (ELM-GEOL.PID) can be used in a relational database. Geologic lines (arcs) are recorded as strings of vectors and are described in the arc attribute table (elm-geol.aat). They define the boundaries of the map units, the faults, and the map boundaries. These distinctions, including the geologic identities of the unit boundaries, are recorded in the LTYPE field. Attributes for geologic lines generally follow a scheme of the type of geologic line (i.e. fault), followed by a locational and/or scientific modifier (i.e. approx. located or queried). Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The geologic structure layer (elm-str) consists of arc and point features that describe geologic structures such as strike and dip of beds, and fold axis. Arc features are described in the arc attribute table (elm-str.aat), and in this report only describe linear representations of fold axis and lineaments interpreted from air photography. The type of linear structural feature is distinguished in the LTYPE field. Point features are described in the point attribute table (elm-str.pat) and are used to represent locations of structural measurements such as strike and dip, and foliation. The type of structural measurement of points is attributed in the PTTYPE field, and the measurements taken at that location are attributed in the STRIKE and DIP fields. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: Point features representing location of spring mound deposits (elm-spr) are described in the point attribute table (elm-spr.pat). Attributes of features in this dataset are recorded in the PTTYPE field. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: Point features representing location of Potassium/Argon (K/Ar) dated samples (elm-kar) are described in the point attribute table (elm-kar.pat). Attributes of features in this dataset are recorded in the PTTYPE field. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: An index of previous mapping (ELM-SRCS) consists of four ARC/INFO regions: PREVMAP1, PREVMAP2, PREVMAP3, and PREVMAP4. ARC/INFO regions allow polygonal information to be stored in a way that areas, or regions, can be overlapping, or non-contiguous in nature. Attribute information for regions is stored in tables that have the name of the coverage Polygon Attribute Table (PAT), followed by the name of a region (i.e. elm-srcs.patprevmap1). Regions may have different table definitions (items) than the base Polygon Attribute Table, and regions within the same coverage may have different table definitions (items). Each region has identical table definitions, consisting of the following items: AUTHORS, YEAR, TITLE, PUBLICATION, and SCALE. The Polygon Attribute Table (ELM-SRCS.PAT) has no attributes with the exception of the default ARC/INFO attributes. For complete bibliographic references, see appendix 1 in the geologic discussion of this report. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: Mapping strategies used by the authors of this report (ELM-STRAT) are represented as polygons. The mapping strategies are described in the Polygon Attribute Table (ELM-STRAT.PAT) for this coverage. The mapping strategies are described in the following items: FIELDID, GEOLOGIST, and METHODS. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: This Publication Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: Point features representing location of field observations made by the authors of this report.
