Preliminary Geologic Map of the Winchester 7.5’ Quadrangle, Riverside County, California

By Douglas M. Morton

Introduction

Open-File Report 03-188 contains a digital geologic map database of the Winchester 7.5’ quadrangle, Riverside County, California that includes:

1. 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 (win_map.ps) to plot the geologic map on a black topographic base, and containing a Correlation of Map Units diagram (CMU), a Description of Map Units (DMU), and an index map.

3. An Adobe Illustrator 9.0 file (win_grey.ai) to plot the geologic map on a grey topographic base, and containing a Correlation of Map Units diagram (CMU), a Description of Map Units (DMU), and an index map.

4. Portable Document Format (.pdf) files of:
a. This introduction; includes in Appendix I, data contained in win_met.txt
b. The same graphics as plotted in 2 and 3 above. Test plots have not produced precise 1:24,000-scale map sheets. Adobe Reader page-size setting influences map scale.
