Database for Geologic map of Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Atosa A. Abedini Joel E. Robinson L. J. P. Muffler D. E. White M. H. Beeson A. H. Truesdell 2015 Database for Geologic map of Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming - Overprint vector digital data Data Series 911 Reston, VA U. S. Geological Survey http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/911 Overprint http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/ds911 This database contains annotations, contacts, geologic unit polygons, hydrothermal features, and geologic unit descriptions from Geologic map of Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This metadata file was written to describe the Overprint feature class. The Overprint feature class delineates secondary products of acid alteration, clastic deposits incrusted by hydrothermal precipitates, and hydrothermal explosion deposits. This dataset was constructed to produce a digital geologic map as a basis for studying hydrothermal processes in Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The original geologic mapping performed by L.J.P Muffler, D.E. White, M.H. Beeson, and A.H. Truesdell onto aerial photography, series GS-VBHD, 1965, and then transfered onto a topographic map. The topographic map was compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey aerial photography, series GS-VBHD, 1965. Modified to reflect cultural changes as of 1976. Topographic map is not published separately from geologic map. This map does not contain adequate registration marks for georegistration. To create the geodatabase, the original scanned map was georegistered to USGS Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle of the NW quarter-quad of the Old Faithful quadrangle, collected in 1994. Man-made objects, i.e. roads, parking lots, and the visitor center, along with stream junctions and other hydrographic features, were used for registration. This metadata file was written to describe the Overprint feature class. en 1966 1978 ground condition Complete None planned -110.869282 -110.814763 44.489556 44.451035 510428.336500 514590.324100 4922315.935400 4926017.925300 Hydrothermal Geyser Rhyolite Sinter Travertine Diatomaceous Hydrothermal explosion Hydrothermal systems REQUIRED: Reference to a formally registered thesaurus or a similar authoritative source of theme keywords.

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 data was edited at a scale of 1:4,800 and higher resolution information is not present in the dataset. The original map does not contain registration marks and was georegistered to USGS Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle of the NW quarter-quad of the Old Faithful quadrangle, collected in 1994. Plotting at scales larger than 1:4,800 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. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data. U.S Geological Survey Volcano Science Center Joel E. Robinson Geologist mailing address

Geological Survey, with geology by L. J. P. Muffler, D. E. White, M. H. Beeson, and A. H. Truesdell, 1966-1978. Unclassified ESRI ArcCatalog 10.0 Service Pack 5 Build (4400) File Geodatabase Feature Class The feature's attributes consist of text identifiers that indicate the identity of the geologic unit or line. To check attribute accuracy, a color check plot was visually compared to the geologist's original compilation. Discrepancies between the digital geospatial dataset and the map were corrected as needed. For more information about the process of creating this dataset, see process steps for this dataset and for the geodatabase. See Attribute Accuracy Explanation Attribute accuracy is described, where present, with each attribute that is defined in the Entity Attribute section. Polygon and arc feature classes were edited using ArcGIS topology. Polygon and arc (chain-node) topology are present in appropriate feature classes. Other feature classes are point, annotation or raster and do not require topologic relationships. This dataset is intended to describe completely the map units at 1:4,800 scale as presented in the Geologic Map of Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National park, Wyoming. Geological information only mappable at larger scale has been omitted. The original geologic mapping performed by L.J.P Muffler, D.E. White, M.H. Beeson, and A.H. Truesdell onto aerial photography, series GS-VBHD, 1965, and then transfered onto a topographic map. The topographic map was compiled from the U.S. Geological Survey aerial photography, series GS-VBHD, 1965. This map does not contain adequate registration marks for georegistration. To create the geodatabase, the original scanned map was georegistered to USGS Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle of the NW quarter-quad of the Old Faithful quadrangle, collected in 1994. Man-made objects, i.e. roads, parking lots, and the visitor center, along with stream junctions and other hydrographic features, were used for registration. Well located data items are intended to have a horizontal positional accuracy better than 0.1 mm at 1:4,800 scale, or within 1.5 meters on the ground. Features in the database are generally well located. The position of each data item is derived from a custom USGS 1:4,800 topographic base map, and therefore additional inaccuracies may also be encountered that are within National Map Accuracy Standards. unknown L.

Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-1371 Reston, VA U. S. Gological Survey 1:4,800 paper 1966 1978 ground condition Muffler et al., 1982 The Geologic Map of Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming (Muffler et al., 1982) was scanned at 400 dpi to a TIFF file. The TIFF file was georeferenced to USGS aerial photos of the Upper Geyser Basin area (NW quarter-quad of the Old Faithful quadrangle, collected in 1994). The geologic contacts were digitized using the Editor toolbar available in the ArcInfo edition of ArcGIS 9.2, ESRI. These arcs were converted to polygons. The arc and polygons were then attributed to match original mapping. An ArcMap document was then created to best match the look of the paper map. 2008 U. S. Geological Survey Joel E.
