  Description:
    Abstract: This digital map database has been prepared for the Lidar-revised geologic map of the Uncas 7.5' quadrangle Clallam and Jefferson Counties, Washington.  Together with the accompanying text files as PDF, it provides information on the geologic  structure and stratigraphy of the area covered.  The database  delineates map units that are identified by general age and  lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S.  Geological Survey. This map combines geologic interpretation  by Haugerud and Tabor of the 6-ft (2 meter) lidar-derived digital elevation model (DEM) with the geology depicted on OF99-21, Preliminary Geologic Map of the Uncas 7.5' Quadrangle, Clallam and Jefferson Counties, Washington by Peter J. Haeussler, Jim Yount, and Ray Wells. The spatial  resolution (scale) of the database is 1:24,000 or smaller.
              The Uncas quadrangle lies in the forearc of the Cascadia subduction zone, 10 km east of the Cascadia accretionary complex exposed in the core of the Olympic Mountains. Underthrusting of the accretionary complex beneath the forearc has uplifted and tilted to the east the Coast Range basalt basement and overlying marginal basin strata.  The basalt and overlying Tertiary sedimentary rocks along with unconsolidated sands, gravels, and glacial till produced by the incursion of the Pleistocene Pugtet lobe of the Canadian ice sheet and its retreat comprise most of the rocks and deposits of the Uncas quadrangle.
    Purpose: This database and accompanying plot files depict the distribution of geologic materials and structures at 1:24,000 scale.  The report is intended to provide geologic information for the study of materials properties, earthquake shaking, landslide potential, mineral hazards, seismic velocity, and earthquake faults.  In addition, the report contains new information and interpretations about the regional geologic history and framework.  However, the scale of this report does not provide sufficient detail for site development purposes.
    Supplemental_Information:
      DIGITAL COMPILATION:  Interpretation of the lidar DEM began with a geomorphic interpretation following the protocol outlined by Haugerud (2009). We did no additional field work to make this map. Contacts of post-glacial deposits and most glacial deposits are interpreted from the lidar DEM.  The digital compilation was done in version 9.3 of ARC/INFO Work Station.
      BASE MAP: In 2000 and 2001, the Puget Sound Lidar Consortium obtained 1 pulse/m2 lidar data for about 65% of the Uncas 7.5 minute quadrangle, which underlies the the 6-ft (2 meter) lidar-derived digital elevation model (DEM) serving as a base for this map.  Tabor and Haugerud digitized drainage and road nets from the lidar DEM
      SPATIAL RESOLUTION- Uses of this digital geologic map should not violate the spatial resolution of the data.  Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the digital data.  The fact that this database was edited for a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information is not present in the dataset.  Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine- scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database. Similarly, where this database is used in combination with other data of higher resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution of these data.

  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Use of lidar source materials dictates that locational accuracy is no better than about +/-30 feet. See Haugerud (2009) for discussion of lidar positional accuracy. Because the lidar base does not match exactly the 1953 1:24,000-scale topographic map of the Uncas Quadrangle, positional accuracy of contacts adapted directly from OFR 99-421 is even less.
