- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
The geology of the Big Spring 7 1/2-minute quadrangle, Carter County, Missouri was mapped from 1998 through 2001 as part of the Midcontinent Karst Systems and Geologic Mapping Project, Eastern Earth Surface Processes Team. The map supports the production of a geological framework that will be used in hydrogeologic investigations related to potential lead and zinc mining in the Mark Twain National Forest adjacent to the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (National Park Service). Digital geologic coverages will be used by other federal and state agencies in hydrogeologic analyses of the Ozark karst system and in ecological models.
- Purpose:
-
The map data supports the production of a geological framework that will be used in hydrogeologic investigations related to potential lead and zinc mining in the Mark Twain National Forest adjacent to the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (National Park Service). Digital geologic coverages will be used by other federal and state agencies in hydrogeologic analyses of the Ozark karst system and in ecological models.

-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
All polygon atrtributes were checked for correct values against original field data by the geologists.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no rigorous formal test were performed. Polygon coverages were queried to screen for empty or inconsistent values. Line geometry is topologically clean.
- Completeness_Report: The data are complete at a resolution of 1:24,000
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
These data were created by delineating the boundaries from inked lines on a stable-base USGS 7.5 minute topographic map at 1:24,000 scale. Therefore, the mapped horizontal accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards, with a horizontal accuracy of 45.6 feet at the 95% confidence level. As with all things human, potential exists for error in location by the mapper in the field especially as most ground locations were plotted manually without aid of GPS, surveying or other precise locating equipment.

These data were created by delineating the boundaries from inked lines on a stable-base USGS 7.5 minute topographic map at 1:24,000 scale. Therefore, the mapped horizontal accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards, with a horizontal accuracy of 11.9 feet at the 95% confidence level. As with all things human, potential exists for error in location by the mapper in the field especially as many ground locations were plotted manually without the aid of GPS, surveying, or other precision locating equipment. Most vertical positions derived from the plotted horizontal position on the topographic base

- Process_Description:
-
A digital geographic base layer was created by georegistering then rectifying a .tiff image of the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle. RMS error was required to be less than 3 meters (10 ft) in ground units. Geologic data was added as layers in ArcView 3.2 from field maps and notes by the authors. The shape files were converted to coverages and edited to eliminate errors, then were built to the appropriate topology. A separate database file for map_unit polygon attributes was generated and populated in Microsoft Access 2000, exported as a .dbf file, converted in Arc/Info to an Info file, then joined to each polygon coverage using map_unit as the join item.Test plots were generated and provided to the author for comparison to the original data and corrections made to all errors identified. Each coverage was then projected to UTM (Zone 15, NAD83, GRS80).
