This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 10.0
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 10.0
Planar coordinates are specified in Meters
The horizontal datum used is NAD83.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.00 meters.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/0.003352811.

Heads up screen digitization of geologic contacts was done
over geo-referenced imagery at 1:24,000 scale. Offshore
contact vectors were merged with onshore contacts from Minor
