Title: Lithochronologic units and mineral deposits of the Appalachian Orogen from Maine to Alabama Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 01-136 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, Virginia Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Publication_Date: 2001 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map, vector digital data Other_Citation_Details: Information about the metallic deposits has been derived form a variety of sources. All deposits shown on the metallogenic map are entered in the computerized Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) of the U.S. Geological Survey. Formerly, and at the time the metallogenic map project was begun in 1983, this system was called the Computerized Resource Information Bank (CRIB). At that time, information on a considerable number of deposits was already in CRIB, having been entered in the system by state geological surveys and the U.S. Geological Survey. During the project, new entries for many additional deposits were made by members of the Branch of Eastern Mineral Resources of the Geological Survey, from literature sources, pre-existing commodity files, and personal field knowledge.

Most of the geology was compiled by John Peper; M. Foose added some additional peripheral sections. The mineral deposits were compiled in the early 1980's by a group of economic geologists within the USGS Eastern Mineral Resources Branch. These geologists included deposits that were of significant size and economic importance, but also included small deposits which represented the metallogenic character of the Appalachians. The intent of this mineral deposit compilations was to reflect the Appalachian mineral endowment and metallogeny. The geologic and mineral deposit compilation was concluded in the early 1990's and was done using manual drafting and type-written tables. Subsequently, the project languished until GIS technology enabled the results of this manual work to be directly brought into digital formats. Purpose: To compile the lithologic character of the rocks and metallic mineral deposits of the Appalachian orogen digitally.

Process_Step: Process_Description: A metallogenic map (mylar green line) 1:1,000,000 map base was created from various published Federal and State geologic maps and journal articles. The base map projection used was: Oblique Mercator 6378.2064 Equatorial radius, in Km. Clarke 1866 6356.5838 Polar radius in Km., Clarke 1866 1.0 Scale factor along central axis 42,0,0,N Latitude, center point of projection 73,0,0,W Longitude, center point of projection 51,30,0,N Latitude, S end of line defining axis 56,0,0,W Longitude, S end of line defining axis 33,30,0,N Latitude, S end of line defining axis 84,30,0,W Longitude, N end of line defining axis The geology of each region was generalized from State and Federal source maps ranging in scale from 1:62,500 to 1:500,000. Each geologic source map was generalized and reduced onto the metallogenic base map at 1:1,000,000. The metallogenic map was then scanned and the scanner automatically converted the scanned image to an ASCII vector format. These vectors were then loaded into ARC/INFO (version 5.1)and a digital coverage was created. Each vector and polygon feature were given attributes of lithology and geologic age ranges. Subsequently, the dataset was projected in ArcInfo from Oblique Mercator to the Lambert map projection with the following parameters: Projection: Lambert Units: meters Spheroid: Clarke1866 Parameters: 1st standard parallel: 33 00 00 2nd standard parallel: 45 00 00 central meridian: -74 00 00 latitude of projection's origin: 00 00 00 false easting (meters) 0.0000 false northing (meters) 0.0000 Additional spatial adjustments were made in ArcInfo for New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine utilizing each states 1:250,000 digital geologic maps as a reference.
