- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This dataset represents geologic mapping of the Taylor Mountains
1:250,000 scale quadrangle. It is used to create
the mapsheet in SIM 3334, which shows surficial
geology at 1:250,000 scale.
- Purpose:
-
Digital representation of geologic mapping facilitates the
presentation and analysis of earth-science data. Digital
maps may be displayed at any scale or projection, however
the geologic data in this coverage is not intended for use
at a scale larger than 1:250,000.

- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Many types of source materials of varying scales were used to compile this data set.
Sources include previously published maps, unpublished mapping, and air photo
interpretation. Vector features were mostly digitized either by digitizing on screen
or on a large format digitizing tablet. Vectors and polygons were attributed and checked.
Topology rules were checked.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
File geodatabase tasurf.gdb contains one feature dataset and three feature classes:
tasurf (feature dataset) - tageol_arc (contacts, faults, and other line types);
tasurf_cirques (cirques); tageol_poly (geologic units)
- Completeness_Report:
-
These datasets were used to create the map portion of
SIM 3334. Text files, tables, graphics, and topography
shown on the map sheet are not included.

Users of this digital geologic map should respect the
intentions of the original mappers and the limitations
of the map. This geologic map compilation is intended
to be used at a scale of 1:250,000; it is not intended to
be used at a more detailed scale.
- Lineage:
-
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
The geology for the quadrangle was compiled from many different
sources over a period of years from 1999-2015. Linework was hand
digitized from materials of various media and scale.
The arcs and polygons were attributed, and topology was checked.
