Description:
Abstract:
This report presents a digital geologic map of merged onshore and offshore geology near the Coal Oil Point area in the northern Santa Barbara Channel, southern California at a compilation scale of 1:24,000 (one inch on the map to 2,000 feet on the ground). The map depicts the distribution of bedrock units, surficial deposits, and associated deformation underlying onshore and offshore regions. The report also presents ESRI shapefile format data including geologic polygons, contacts, folds, and point features used to create the seamless onshore-offshore geologic map.
Purpose:
These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) or other software to display geologic information.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Offshore geology was mapped by interpreting multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data, seismic profiles, sea floor photographs, and sediment samples. Heads up screen digitization of geologic polygons, geologic contacts, and folds was done over geo-referenced imagery at 1:24,000 scale in Adobe Illustrator software. The Illustrator map was imported into a GIS (Arcmap) and merged with onshore geologic polygons, contacts, and folds from Minor et al., 2009, available at <http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/sim/sim3001>. The onshore geology was reprojected to UTM, zone 11, NAD83 projection to match the offshore geology. Overlapping polygons along the coast, mainly beach deposits (QB), were cleaned.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

The data are supplied in ESRI shapefile format.
Geology.shp: Contains all contact lines and label points for each geologic polygon. In the geology.dbf file the SOURCE item provides a numeric code used to identify the data source for the rock unit. The LABEL item indicates the rock unit label (abbreviation) used to label unit on map. The DESC item defines formal or informal unit name. The SYMBOL item contains the shadeset symbol number used by ESRI to plot a filled/shaded polygon.

The DBF structure of the shapefile is listed below: 

geology.dbf:
