  <dc:description>This geologic map was prepared as a part of a study of digital&#13;
  methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps.  The&#13;
  geologic map was digitized from the original scribe sheets used to&#13;
  prepare the published Geologic Map of Colorado (Tweto 1979).&#13;
  Consequently the digital version is at 1:500,000 scale using the&#13;
  Lambert Conformal Conic map projection parameters of the state base&#13;
  map.  Stable base contact prints of the scribe sheets were scanned on&#13;
  a Tektronix 4991 digital scanner.  The scanner automatically converts&#13;
  the scanned image to an ASCII vector format. These vectors were&#13;
  transferred to a VAX minicomputer, where they were then loaded into&#13;
  ARC/INFO.  Each vector and polygon was given attributes derived from&#13;
  the original 1979 geologic map.&#13;
 &#13;
       This database was developed on a MicroVAX computer system using VAX&#13;
  V 5.4 nd ARC/INFO 5.0 software.&#13;
 &#13;
  UPDATE: April 1995,&#13;
       The update was done solely for the purpose of adding the abilitly to&#13;
  plot to an HP650c plotter.  Two new ARC/INFO plot AMLs along with a lineset&#13;
  and shadeset for the HP650C design jet printer have been included.  These&#13;
  new files are COLORADO.650, INDEX.650, TWETOLIN.E00 and TWETOSHD.E00.  These&#13;
  files were created on a UNIX platform with ARC/INFO 6.1.2.  Updated versions&#13;
  of INDEX.E00, CONTACT.E00, LINE.E00, DECO.E00 and BORDER.E00 files that&#13;
  included the newly defined HP650c items are also included.&#13;
