Description:
Abstract:
The Surficial Geology of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Region, Tennessee and North Carolina was mapped from 1993 to 2003 under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). This 1:100,000-scale digital geologic map was compiled from 2002 to 2003 from unpublished field investigations maps at 1:24,000-scale. Supportive data available include the national park boundary, the geologic mapping boundary, and unattributed streams from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD).
Purpose:
Geology was researched and compiled to support cooperative investigations between the USGS, NPS, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI). The results are published in Open File Report 03-381 on surficial geology within the park.
Supplemental_Information: Data is stored as both a polygon geodatabase layer and as a shapefile
