Geospatial data for SIM3406 are available in 3 versions.

SIM3406-map.mxd ArcMap v10.7 map composition document that reproduces the published map image SIM3406-metadata.xml FGDC-style metadata for SIM3406.gdb. Note that constituent parts (tables, feature classes) of the database have individualized metadata records with more detailed entity-attribute information SIM3406.gdb largely conforms to the GeMS specification for geologic map databases, available at https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/. Departures from the GeMS schema are: 1) No GeoMaterialsDict table 2) No GeoMaterial field in table DescriptionOfMapUnits 3) No GeoMaterialConfidence field in table DescriptionOfMapUnits. These departures are appropriate because SIM3406 is a geomorphic map that describes and interprets the distribution of earth surfaces, not a geologic map that describes and interprets the distribution of earth materials. SIM3406-open.zip (13 MB) ========================= An open version of SIM3406.gdb that contains all the content of SIM3406.gdb in shapefiles and (for tables and feature classes with attribute field sizes larger than 254 characters) comma-separated-value files. Note that some programming may be needed to re-assemble these files into a usable format. SIM3406-simple.zip (13 MB) =========================== A simple shapefile version of SIM3406.gdb, that contains much--though not all--of the content of SIM3406.gdb in simple, easy-to-use shapefiles without related tables. Also available is XML_metadata.zip (0.1 MB) =========================================== XML-format FGDC metadata for SIM3406 and all constituent feature datasets, tables, and feature classes
