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 Geologic data in this series has been compiled from a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, ranging from state and regional geologic maps to field mapping.

There were many types of source materials of varying scale, used to compile this data set. Sources include previously published maps, unpublished mapping, and air photo interpretation. The dates of the mapping range from present to 1960's. Vector features were digitized on screen or from a large digitizing tablet. The digital data has been checked, and the geologic map has been technically reviewed and edited.
This data is presented for use at a nominal scale of 1:250,000.
The complete data set consists of 33 different GIS coverages, 11 geology coverage, 8 fold coverages, 9 lineation coverages, and 5 dike coverages. There is also an associated relational database of geologic units. Each coverage has the extent of a 1:250,000-scale quadrangle. A graphic representation of the database and a report with complete geologic unit descriptions is provided in .pdf format.
Each geology coverage is a network coverage containing attributed arcs and polygons. Each polygon has a coded 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 (fault, dike, lineation, etc.)
