The data were compiled from field mapping.  Chester Ruleman and David Lidke, 
both of the U.S. Geological Survey, reviewed the geologic map. 

This geospatial database consists of ArcInfo export files (.e00) and ArcView 
shapefiles contained in a zip archive.  Both compressed archive files contain 
both types of geospatial database files.  See the list below.  Please refer to 
the file 1189.met for detailed metadata documentation for this geospatial 
database.
