The maps that are included in this report represent works-in-progress in that they are simply intended to be the best possible product for the time available and conditions that exist during the early phases of reconstruction in Afghanistan. Most of the geologic interpretations and all of the topographic data were derived exclusively from images. A limited amount of fieldwork, in the spring of 2004 and the fall of 2006, was carried out within the quadrangle, but all the potential dangers present in Afghanistan restricted its scope, duration, and utility. Purpose: The main objective is to provide maps that will be used by scientists of the Afghan Ministry of Mines, the Afghanistan Geological Survey, and the Afghan Geodesy and Cartography Head Office in their efforts to re-build the energy and mineral sectors of their economy. At the same time the maps provide a jump-start for the fledgling internal mapping programs of those agencies. It is hoped that the same set of maps will emerge eventually in new and improved versions as Afghan earth scientists modify them in response to knowledge gained from more detailed field-oriented studies.

The attributes of this geospatial data set consist of text identifiers and numeric codes that indicate the identity of the geologic unit or type of geologic feature and determine how each feature is symbolized. Logical_Consistency_Report: Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure, and other errors by the author and by the GIS technician(s) that created the digital database. Automated (ArcInfo) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. Check plots of the map were reviewed by at least two other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards. Completeness_Report: Data are complete: no features that could be accurately represented at the compilation scale of 1:100,000 were eliminated or generalized. All geospatial database elements are attributed.

Contour lines extracted using TNTmips(MicroImages) software. Cultural features and hydrography were digitized from Digital Globe Images pan-sharpened to better than 1-m resolution, and from 1-m natural-color orthorectified air-photography. Process_Date: 2008 Process_Step: Process_Description: The map data were digitized in MAPublisher and saved as shapefiles. The original shapefiles were imported into ARCGIS 9.2.0, converted to feature classes, and stored in a file geodatabase. Polygon topology was built and text map descriptors were added to each feature class. Process_Date: 2009 Process_Step: Process_Description: Draft check plots of the geologic map and explanation were created and submitted for peer review. Geologists reviewed the plots for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Revisions were made to the geospatial database as needed.
