ARC/INFO (Environmental Systems Research Institute, http://www.esri.com) version 7.2.1 coverages of the various elements of the geologic map. 2. A Postscript file to plot the geologic map on a topographic base, and containing a Correlation of Map Units diagram (CMU), a Description of Map Units (DMU), and an index map. 3. Portable Document Format (.pdf) files of: a. This Readme; includes in Appendix I, data contained in mur_met.txt b. The same graphic as plotted in 2 above. Test plots have not produced precise 1:24,000-scale map sheets. Adobe Acrobat page size setting influences map scale. The Correlation of Map Units and Description of Map Units is in the editorial format of USGS Geologic Investigations Series (I-series) maps but has not been edited to comply with I-map standards. Within the geologic map data package, map units are identified by standard geologic map criteria such as formation-name, age, and lithology. Where known, grain size is indicated on the map by a subscripted letter or letters following the unit symbols as follows: lg, large boulders; b, boulder; g, gravel; a, arenaceous; s, silt; c, clay; e.g. Qyfa is a predominantly young alluvial fan deposit that is arenaceous. Multiple letters are used for more specific identification or for mixed units, e.g., Qfysa is a silty sand. In some cases, mixed units are indicated by a compound symbol; e.g., Qyf2sc. Even though this is an Open-File Report and includes the standard USGS Open-File disclaimer, the report closely adheres to the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey. Descriptions of units can be obtained by viewing or plotting the .pdf file (3b above), or plotting the postscript file (2 above). This Readme file describes the digital data, such as types and general contents of files making up the database, and includes information on how to extract and plot the map and accompanying graphic file. Metadata information can be accessed at http://geo-nsdi.er.usgs.gov/metadata/open-file/03-189 and is included in Appendix I of this Readme. HOW TO OBTAIN PAPER PLOTS For those having access to large-format plotters such as HP650C, HP755C, and HP2500C, plots may be made directly from the included plot file.

Gzip utilities are available free of charge via the Internet at the gzip home page, http://www.gzip.org. Files with a .zip file extension were compressed using WinZip, available at http://www.winzip.com. The data package and symbols package are additionally bundled into a single tar (tape archive) file. The individual files must be extracted using a tar utility, available free of charge via the Internet through links on the Common Internet File Formats page, http://www.matisse.net/files/format.html. One such utility is WinZip, available at http://www.winzip.com. HOW TO OBTAIN THE DIGITAL FILES The export files, and subsequently the data and plot files, constituting the geologic map database of this Open-File Map may be obtained in two ways, both over the Internet. 1. The files can be obtained via the Web from Western Region Geologic Information Server. Go to the web page at http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of03-189 and follow the directions to download the files. 2. The files can also be obtained by anonymous ftp over the Internet from wrgis.wr.usgs.gov. The files are located in the directory /pub/open-file/. Be sure to use binary transfer mode or ASCII mode for individual .e00 (ARC interchange file format) files. HOW TO EXTRACT THE GEOLOGIC MAP DATABASE FROM THE TAR FILE Digital database After downloading the files, they must be uncompressed using a gzip utility such as gzip itself or WinZip. The data files must then be extracted using a tar utility or Winzip. This process will create a directory, mur/, that will contain the ARC/INFO interchange files and supporting files. The directory should contain the following files: mur/ mur _geo.e00 mur_str.e00 mur_ano.e00 mur.tif mur.tfw The symbols.tar.gz file is imported using the same methods as for the mur.tar.gz file. It will create a directory, symbols/ that will contain the following files: geoSCAMP2.lin geoSCAMP2.mrk alc1.shd geology2.shd fnt026 fnt037 fnt035 The following are not included in the database tar file, and are downloaded separately. mur_map.ps.gz README.pdf mur_map.pdf Postscript plot files Make a 17 MB uncompressed file, mur_map.ps (plot of complete map), by typing gzip -d mur_map.ps.gz (or use gzip utility of choice). Portable Document Format (.pdf) files PDF files are not stored as gzip files. They are accessed using Adobe Acrobat Reader software, available free from the Adobe website http://www.adobe.com. Follow instructions at the website to download and install the software. Acrobat Reader contains an on-line manual and tutorial. HOW TO CONVERT THE ARC/INFO INTERCHANGE (EXPORT) FILES The ARC interchange (.e00) files are converted to ARC coverages using the ARC command IMPORT. ARC interchange files can also be read by some other Geographic Information Systems, including ArcView (ESRI) and MapInfo (http://www.mapinfo.com), (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., 1998). Please consult your GIS documentation to see if you can use ARC interchange files and the procedure to import them. DIGITAL GEOLOGIC MAP SPECIFICATIONS Digital compilation The geologic map information was hand digitized from a base-stable original (ink on a greenline) of the geologic map at 1:24,000 scale. Digital tics were placed by hand at latitude/longitude intersections. The lines, points, and polygons were edited using standard ARC/INFO commands, and in some places, interactively by hand using graphical user interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon, 1991, Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991, Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991). Digitization and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were corrected. Base map The base map image (mur.tif) was prepared by scanning a scale-stable clear film of the U.S. Geological Survey, 1:24,000 Murrieta 7.5’ quadrangle (1953) topographic map. Scanning was done using an Anatech Eagle 4080 monochrome 800 dpi scanner; at a resolution of 500 dpi. The raster scan was converted to a monochromatic image in ARC/INFO, and registered and rectified to the Murrieta 7.5’ quadrangle. No elements of the base layer are attributed. The base map is provided for reference only. Spatial resolution Use of this digital geologic map database should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the digital data. The fact that this database was edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information is not generally present in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities above the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, although higher resolution data is incorporated at a few places, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution data. Map accuracy standards Until uniform National geologic map standards are developed and adopted, lines and points on SCAMP 1:24,000 scale geologic maps that are located to within 15 meters, relative to accurately located features on the base map, are considered to meet map accuracy standards. Dashed lines, indicated in the database as approximately located or inferred, are generally located within 30 meters, relative to accurately located features on the base map. Faults and landslides This database is sufficiently detailed to identify and characterize many actual and potential geologic hazards represented by faults and landslides, but it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations. Faults shown do not take the place of fault rupture hazard zones designated by the California State Geologist (see Hart, 1998). Database specifics General--The map database consists of ARC/INFO format coverages, which are stored in polyconic projection (Table 1), and a series of data tables. Digital tics define a 2.5-minute grid of latitude and longitude in the geologic coverages corresponding to the 2.5-minute tic grid on the topographic base map. Table 1 --- Map Projection Projection Polyconic Datum NAD27 Zunits No Units Meters Spheroid Clark 1866 X shift 0.000000000 Y shift 0.000000000 Parameters -117 11 15.000 longitude of central meridian 33 30 0.00 latitude of projections origin 0.00000 false easting (meters) 0.00000 false northing (meters) The content of the geologic database can be described in terms of feature classes that include lines, points, and areas that compose the map. See the metadata text file (Appendix I) for detailed descriptions. Lines – Lines are recorded as strings of arcs and are described in an arc attribute (.aat) table. Complete lists of the line types (LTYPE) used in the quadrangle are available in Appendix I. They represent contacts and faults, which define the boundaries of map units and map boundaries. Polygons --- Geologic map units (polygons) are described in the polygon attribute (.pat) table (details in Appendix I). For traditional descriptions of the map units, see the Portable Document Format file mur_map.pdf or the Postscript map plot, mur_map.ps. A list of all map units in the database is given in Appendix I. Points – Point information (attitudes of planar and linear features) is recorded as coordinate and related information. Complete lists of the point types (PTTYPE) used in the point coverage are available in Appendix I.

The quadrangle is diagonally crossed by the active Elsinore fault zone, a major fault zone of the San Andreas fault system, and separates the Santa Ana Mountains block to the west from the Perris block to the east. Both blocks are relatively stable internally and within the quadrangle are characterized by the presence of widespread erosional surfaces of low relief. The Santa Ana Mountains block, in the Murrieta quadrangle, is underlain by undifferentiated, thick-layered, granular, impure quartzite and well-layered, fissile, phyllitic metamorphic rock of low metamorphic grade. Both quartzite and phyllitic rocks are Mesozoic. Unconformably overlying the metamorphic rocks are remnants of basalt flows having relatively unmodified flow surfaces. The age of the basalt is about 7-8Ma. Large shallow depressions on the surface of the larger basalt remnants form vernal ponds that contain an endemic flora. Beneath the basalt the upper part of the metamorphic rocks is deeply weathered. The weathering appears to be the same as the regional Paleocene saprolitic weathering in southern California. West of the quadrangle a variable thickness sedimentary rock, physically resembling Paleogene rocks, occurs between the basalt and metamorphic rock. Where not protected by the basalt, the weathered rock has been removed by erosion. The dominant feature on the Perris block in the Murrieta quadrangle is the south half of the Paloma Valley ring complex, part of the composite Peninsular Ranges batholith. The complex is elliptical in plan view and consists of an older ring-dike with two subsidiary short-arced dikes that were emplaced into gabbro by magmatic stoping. Small to large stoped blocks of gabbro are common within the ring-dikes. A younger ring-set of hundreds of thin pegmatite dikes occur largely within the central part of the complex. These pegmatite dikes were emplaced into a domal fracture system, apparently produced by cauldron subsidence, and include in the center of the complex, a number of flat-floored granophyre bodies. The granophyre is interpreted to be the result of pressure quenching of pegmatite magma. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle is the western part of a large septum of medium metamorphic grade Mesozoic schist. A dissected basalt flow caps the Hogbacks northeast of Temecula, and represents remnants of a channel filling flow. Beneath the basalt is a thin deposit of stream gravel. Having an age of about 10Ma, this basalt is about 2-3Ma older than the basalt flows in the Santa Ana Mountains. The Elsinore fault zone forms a complex of pull-apart basins. The west edge of the fault zone, the Willard Fault, is marked by the high, steep eastern face of the Santa Ana Mountains. The east side of the zone, the Wildomar Fault, forms a less pronounced physiographic step. In the center of the quadrangle a major splay of the fault zone, the Murrieta Hot Springs Fault, strikes east. Branching of the fault zone causes the development of a broad alluvial valley between the Willard Fault and the Murrieta Hot Springs Fault. All but the axial part of the zone between the Willard and Wildomar Faults consist of dissected Pleistocene sedimentary units. The axial part of the zone is underlain by Holocene and latest Pleistocene sedimentary units. Purpose: The data set for the Murrieta 7.5' quadrangle was prepared under the U.S. Geological Survey Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP) as part of an ongoing effort to develop a regional geologic framework of southern California, and to utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) format to create regional digital geologic databases. These regional databases are being developed as contributions to the National Geologic Map Database of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS.

The data should not be used for purposes of site-specific land-use planning or site-specific geologic evaluations. The database is sufficiently detailed to identify and characterize many actual and potential geologic hazards represented by faults and landslides and posed by ground subsidence and earthquake-generated ground shaking. However, it is not sufficiently detailed for site-specific determinations or evaluations of these features. Faults shown do not take the place of fault-rupture hazard zones designated by the California State Geologist (see Hart, 1988). Use of this digital geologic-map database should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the digital data. The fact that this database was compiled and edited at a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information may not have been uniformly retained in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, although higher resolution data is incorporated in most of the map, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution data.

Consistent with these methods, the database author has assigned standard geologic attributes to geologic lines, points, and polygons identified in the database. Nation-wide geologic-map accuracy standards have not been developed and adopted by the U.S. Geological Survey and other earth-science entities. Until such standards are adopted, the SCAMP project has developed internal map-accuracy standards for 1:24,000-scale geologic maps produced by the project. Geologic lines and points on 1:24,000 scale geologic maps are judged to meet SCAMP's internal map-accuracy standards if they are located to within +/-15 meters, relative to topographic or cultural features on the base map. On any derivative geologic-map plot, line data that are judged to meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by solid lines; line data that may not meet the SCAMP internal map-accuracy standard are denoted by dashed or dotted lines. There is no cartographic device for denoting the map-accuracy for geologic-point data (e.g., symbols representing bedding, foliation, lineations, etc.). Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon and chain-node topology present. The areal extent of the map is represented digitally by an appropriately projected (polyconic projection), mathematically generated box. Consequently, polygons intersecting the lines that comprise the map boundary are closed by that boundary. Polygons internal to the map boundary are completely enclosed by line segments which are themselves a set of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs. Point data are represented by coordinate pairs. Completeness_Report: The geologic map database of the Murrieta 7.5' quadrangle contains new data that have been subjected to rigorous review and are a substantially complete representation of the current state of knowledge concerning the geology of the quadrangle. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The maximum transformation RMS error acceptable for a 7.5' quadrangle transformation and data input is 0.003 (1.8 meters). Horizontal positional accuracy was checked by visual comparison of hard-copy plots with base-stable source data.
