Data Modifications The first change that was made to Mississippi digital geologic map was the attribute USGS-CODE was altered from all capital letters to both capital and lower case letters. For example, ECM was changed to Ecm. Some arcs were split based on the paper source in order to code such line attributes as concealed contacts, borders and so forth. Twelve fault arcs were added that were not in the digital files from the state. One polygon was missing an attribute and was coded as alluvium based on geology as it has a source code of MS202.
