Description:

Abstract:

The 1:500,000-scale reconnaissance geologic map of the Kodiak Islands, Alaska covers more than 4,800 square miles (12,500 square kilometers) of south central Alaska. The Kodiak Islands are located on the west side of the Gulf of Alaska and are one of the largest areas of exposure of flysch and melange of the Chugach terrane of southern Alaska.

This data set is also a portion of a statewide geology database, which is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Surveys and Analysis (NSA) project, whose goal is to compile geologic, geochemical, geophysical, and other data.

Purpose:

This data set represents part of a systematic effort to release geologic map data for the United States in a uniform manner. Geologic data is this series has been compiled from a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, ranging from state and regional geologic maps to large-scale field mapping.

Data_Set_Credit:

This data set was prepared by Scott Bie (USGS), F.H. Wilson (USGS), Keith Labay (contractor), and Solmaz Mohadjer (contractor)

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Data set was created using ESRI ARC/Info version 7 on a Unix platform

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The original source materials for this data set are from various scales (1:63,360 to 1:250,000), medium (digital, mylar, paper), and scope (bedrock, surficial, tectonic). All vector features were originally hand digitized on a large digitizing tablet or on screen. Vector and polygon attributes were assigned based on the original source. The digital data has been visually checked, and the geologic map has been technically reviewed and edited.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Each geology coverage is a network coverage containing attributed arcs and polygons. Each polygon has coded a attribute designating the mapped geologic unit. Faults, stratigraphic contacts, and other linear features are represented as arcs. When a fault is also a stratigraphic contact, only a single arc is present. Dangling arcs may be present (faults, dike, etc.)

Completeness_Report:

The complete data set consists of the GIS files and an associated database of geologic units.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

This data is presented for use at a nominal scale of 1:500,000, although individual datasets may contain data for use at larger scales. Details within the attribute tables and metadata provide information on map sources and the appropriate scales for use.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Linework for the geology compilation was hand digitized from material of various media and scale. The arcs and polygons were attributed. The spatial databases are provided in UTM projection and geographic coordinates. The native ARC/Info coverages have been exported to an interchange file format, .e00, and also converted to Arc/View shape files.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:

Detailed_Description:

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: polygons

Entity_Type_Definition:

Characteristics of the polygon features in the geoloygy coverages are coded in the polygon attribute table. The table <cov>.pat includes the following items: CLASS, NSACLASS, NSAMOD, QCLASS, SOURCE, LABEL, MIN_AGE, and MAX_AGE

Entity_Type_Definition_Source: This data set

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: NSACLASS

Attribute_Definition:

NSACLASS is a positive integer value (4 5 B) item in the polygon attribute table. Values range discontinuously from 100 to 5810. NSACLASS is a numeric code for the geologic unit. This data set represents a generalized map, thus it is possible that a geologic unit is made of multiple NSACLASS values. Some map areas include more detailed Quaternary mapping, requiring some of the NSACLASS values to be subdivided. These geologic units are attributed in the .pat item QCLASS. Each NSACLASS or QCLASS matches with geologic unit labels in LABEL and has a minimum (MIN_AGE) and maximum (MAX_AGE) range, given in million of years (my).

Supplemental attribute tables included with this data set, contain additional descriptive information of each geologic unit. A user may use items SOURCE and CLASS to retrieve information about the original units from which these generalized units were formed.

NOTE: Because of the limitations of common GIS fonts, the letters "Mz", "Pz", "Tr", and "Pa" are substituted for the standard symbols for "Mesozoic", "Paleozoic", "Triassic", and "Pennsylvanian."

Attribute_Label: SOURCE

Attribute_Definition:

SOURCE is a character (6 8 C) item found in both the arc and polygon attribute tables. The values are abbreviated codes representing the original source reference for the polygon or arc feature. The format for SOURCE is XX###, where XX is a two letter code for the 1:250,000 scale quadrangle and ### is a three digit number (with leading zeros). All source codes with '001' are unspecified sources for water and ice features, often paper topographic maps, and DRG or DLG files.

Detailed_Description:

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: arcs

Entity_Type_Definition:

Characteristics of the arc features in the geology coverages are coded in the arc attribute table. Table <cov>.aat includes the following items: ARC-CODE, ARC-PARA1, and SOURCE. For explanation of SOURCE, see attribute definitions for polygons.

Entity_Type_Definition_Source: this data set

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: ARC-CODE

Attribute_Definition:

ARC-CODE is a positive integer value (3 3 I) item in the arc attribute table. Values range discontinuously from 1 to 99. Values match one-for-one with geologic features (such as stratgraphic boundary, fault, etc.). Some ARC-CODE features have additional modifiers in item ARC-PARA1.
