02437 - Geologic database
If you are using Arc/Info Workstation you can access the data in this table using either the
JOINITEM, RELATE, or CURSOR functions and the INFO item MAPUNIT. Use the RELATE function to
access this data from ArcMap. If you are using ArcView, add the table 02437.DBF to the
project and use either the JOIN or LINK functions and the item MAPUNIT to access the data.
Alternatively, the database 02437.MDB can be viewed using Microsoft Access.
