INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE NEVADA TEST SITE (REV 4.0) DATABASE:

The ARCVIEW shape-files for the Digital Geologic Map of the Nevada Test Site and Vicinity (Open-File-Report 99-554-A) are contained in the file ofr-99-0554-shp.exe.  In order to access the data,  the file must be downloaded to your computer's hard drive and uncompressed (self-extracting file).  This will generate a subdirectory called ofr-99-0554-shp containing all of the shape files, shade/linesets, fonts, AML's, projection files, and metadata neccessary for using the database.  The description of map units and printable versions of the map plates are available in PDF format (greenwood.cr.usgs.gov/pub/open-file-reports/ofr-99-0554) along with the accompanying geophysical maps (OFR-99-0554B and OFR-99-0554C).

Due to the 8.3 DOS naming convention for shape-files, the names of the coverages have been changed as follows:

r4-geology      ---->   r4-geo
r4-faults       ---->   r4-flt
r4-meta         ---->   r4-meta
r4-calderas     ---->   r4-cald
r4-attitudes    ---->   r4-atts
r4-faults-sym   ---->   r4-fsym
r4-flt-text     ---->   r4-ftxt
r4-folds        ---->   r4-folds
r4-folds-sym    ---->   r4-fosym
r4-gpflts       ---->   r4-gflt
r4-gpflts-sym   ---->   r4-gsym
r4-tzone        ---->   r4-tz
nts-base        ---->   r4-base
nts-boundary    ---->   r4-bnd
