Description:
Abstract:
This report provides a geologic map of the Doty Mountain 7.5-
minute quadrangle, located along the eastern flank of the
Washakie Basin, Wyo. Geologic formations and individual coal
beds were mapped at a scale of 1:24,000; surface stratigraphic
sections were measured and described; and well logs were
examined to determine coal correlations and thicknesses in the
subsurface. Detailed measured sections are provided for the
type sections of the Red Rim Member of the Upper Cretaceous
Lance Formation and China Butte and Overland Members of the
Paleocene Fort Union Formation; these members were named in
U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2835,
version 1.1 (Honey and Hettinger, 2004).
Purpose:
The data set was collected as part of a larger effort to acquire
data on Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary coal-bearing rocks in the
eastern Washakie Basin and southeastern Great Divide Basin.
Regions in the eastern Washakie Basin and southeastern Great
Divide Basin have potential for coal development and were
considered previously for coal leasing by the U.S. Bureau of
Land Management.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The database consists of newly generated data that were compiled
on a scale-stable greenline of the Doty Mountain quadrangle and
then digitized in ARC/INFO. This map was thoroughly reviewed for
conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and
stratigraphic nomenclature.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Map elements were visually checked by the authors, cartographers,
and editor for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon
attributes, and other errors. The coverages were cleaned in
ARC/INFO to ensure logical consistency that is topologically clean.
The map was reviewed by other geologists for consistency with basic
geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping
standards.
Completeness_Report:
This dataset is complete and includes the spatial coverages
pertaining to the geologic map.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Users of this digital geologic map should respect the
intentions of the original mappers and the map compilers, and
the limitations of the map. The geology data set of the Doty
Mountain 7.5-minute quadrangle is intended to be used at a
scale of 1:24,000. It is not intended to be used at a more
detailed scale.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Mapping was based on field observations, analysis of black and
white aerial photographs (scale 1:28,000 and 1:20,000, flown in
1975) and color aerial photographs (scale 1:36,000, flown in
1975), topography, and drill-hole data. The linework was
transferred from aerial photographs to base maps using a PG-2
stereo-plotter, and digitized manually, and the data were then
digitally registered to a digital version of the base map in
ARC/INFO. Geologic cross sections show the subsurface
thickness of coal beds in the units of interest. The
correlation charts were constructed using stratigraphic
sections measured in the field and from borehole electrical
logs.
