Publisher: United States Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1189 Description: Abstract: This geologic map covers four 7.5-minute quadrangles-The Wall, NM-CO (New Mexico-Colorado), Vermejo Park, NM-CO, Ash Mountain, NM, and Van Bremmer Park, NM. The study area straddles the boundary between the eastern flank of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the western margin of the Raton Basin, with about two-thirds of the map area in the basin. The Raton Basin is a foreland basin that formed immediately eastward of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains during their initial uplift, in the Late Cretaceous through early Eocene Laramide orogeny. Subsequently, these mountains have been extensively modified during formation of the Rio Grande rift, from late Oligocene to present. The map area is within that part of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that is called the Culebra Range. Additionally, the map covers small parts of the Devil?s Park graben and the Valle Vidal half-graben, in the northwestern and southwestern parts of the map area, respectively. These two grabens are small intermontaine basins, that are satellitic to the main local basin of the Rio Grande rift, the San Luis Basin, that are an outlying, early- formed part of the rift, and that separate the Culebra Range from the Taos Range, to the southwest. Purpose: To provide a digital geologic map database of the four-quadrangle area that improves understanding of the regional geologic framework.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Windows_XP, Intel ARC/INFO version 9.2 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Data were checked by the geologist that made the field observations and compilation. The attributes of this geospatial data set consist of text identifiers and numeric codes that indicate the identity of the geologic unit or type of geologic feature, and determine how each feature is colored or symbolized. To check the attribute accuracy, a color check plot was visually compared to the geologist's original compilation. Discrepancies between the digital geospatial data set and the original analog compilation were corrected as needed. Machine-created listings of unique attribute values were used to identify spelling errors or other inconsistencies, and corrections were made as needed. Logical_Consistency_Report: Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure, and other errors by the authors and by the GIS technician(s) who created the digital database. Automated (ArcInfo) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. Check plots of the map were reviewed by another geologist and cartographer for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards. Completeness_Report: Data are preliminary. No features that could be accurately represented at a scale of 1:50,000 were eliminated or generalized. The smallest area represented is approximately 45 square meters. All geospatial database elements are attributed. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Most digitized positions on the map that depict distinct contacts between rock formations in the field are estimated to be within 25 m of the actual contact on the land in most instances. Boundaries (lines) between Quaternary units (for example, terrace gravels) that correspond closely to distinct edges of landforms (for example, river terraces) are of comparable accuracy. Boundaries (lines) between some Quaternary units, such as eolian deposits and broad alluvial aprons, are approximately located within an indefinite gradational zone between them. Horizontal positional accuracy is tested by visual comparison of hard copy test plots to source maps or comparing locations of data on a computer monitor to other data layers in the same geographic area. The database contains no elevation data. Accuracy of these digital data indirectly depends on accuracy of the base maps on which the original source geologic maps were compiled. These base maps were made by the U.S. Geological Survey, which routinely checks them for compliance with the National Map Accuracy Standards.

This new mapping was built upon earlier mapping by Pillmore that was conducted primarily during the 1970?s. Pillmore?s mapping of the eastern half of the study area (the Vermejo Park, NM-CO, and Van Bremmer Park, NM quadrangles) has been published in two USGS open-file reports (Pillmore, 2003a, 2003b). His unfinished mapping of the two quadrangles that constitute the west half of the study area was used in this study as a starting point. Process_Date: 2006 Process_Step: Process_Description: The geologic database was compiled using ArcInfo. Initial digitization of map features was performed in ArcInfo. Process_Date: 2008 Process_Step: Process_Description: Checkplots of the coverages were printed and checked against source materials for accuracy and completeness. The database information was checked visually, as well as by using various routines in ArcInfo, for accuracy and consistency.

DATABASE STRUCTURE - ArcInfo ==================================== This GIS database includes related look-up tables, which store detailed attribute information. This database structure is more fully described in USGS OFR 99-438. The GIS database structure used in the database includes symbol and pattern items in coverage point, polygon (PAT), and arc (AAT) attribute tables for user convenience. ArcInfo relates for each coverage are saved in a file named .rel. Use the RELATE command with the restore argument at the arc prompt to make the relates active. Alternatively, in ArcTools, use the Relate environment: open dialog in the Manage - Relates flyout menu under the ArcTools menu to make the relates active. vermgeo coverage: Contains all contact lines and label points for each geologic polygon. In the .pat INFO file the SOURCE item provides a numeric code used to identify the data source for the rock unit. Complete references for the sources listed are listed in the vermgeo.ref file. The LABEL item indicates the rock unit label (abbreviation) used to label unit on map.
