U.S.A. Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Description: Abstract: This shapefile contains arcs, polygons and polygon labels that describe surface geology in the countries comprising the Former Soviet Union. (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.) This spatial dataset is available as an ArcView shapefile, an Arc/Info export file, an Arc/Info ASCII ungenerate file and as Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) files. This data set was originally published as U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 97-470E, Maps Showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields, and Geologic Provinces of the Former Soviet Union. Purpose: This spatial dataset is intended to delineate surface geology of the Former Soviet Union in U.S.G.S. Open File Report 01-104, Coal Quality and Resources of the Former Soviet Union - An ArcView Project.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon topology exists. Each polygon has one unique label point with unique id, there are no dangles. The coverage is topologically cleaned and built with Region topology in Arc/Info 7.1.2. Completeness_Report: N/A Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: 1. Original geological maps are of 750 meter maximum accuracy (0.1 mm on paper map of 1:7,500,000 scale) 2. Scanned images are of 200 dot/inch resolution (0.1 mm on paper). Fuzzy tolerance for CLEAN program in ARC/INFO is set to 1500 m (two pixels). 3. Several steps are taken to vectorize scanned images. The projection and coordinate system for the original map are not given. Therefore it is necessary to georeference the map to real world coordinates. This is done as follows: 3.1. The latitude/longitude graticule with cell size 4 * 6 degree is projected to Equidistant Conic projection and then used to create ARC/INFO point coverage. That point coverage is used to create "to - from" links by ARC/INFO CONTROLPOINTS program. 3.2 A gray-scale scanned image of the original paper map is transformed to Equidistant Conic projection by ARC/INFO GRIDWARP program (polynomial of the second order) using the "to - from" links created by CONTROLPOINTS program. 3.3 The scanned image from the second step is vectorized by the method of extraction of linear features described by F.Persits, 1997, (USGS open-file report OF-97-713), and then corrected by hands-on digitization. 3.4 A series of piecewise "rubbersheet" transformations are applied to the final ARC/INFO coverage. The ARC/INFO coverages that are used for transformation were ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3 million GIS cartographic layers. Overall position error is estimated with a randomly selected set of locations on the ESRI coverages and comparing the same locations on the final geology coverage (geo1). RMS error is 4.8 km (0.64 mm of the original paper map) with maximum error about 12 km (1.6 mm on original paper map).
