<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>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 data was edited at a scale of 1:24,000 and 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. Acknowledgement of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Polygon and arc (chain-node) topology present in appropriate feature classes. Other feature classes are point, annotation or raster and do not require topologic relationships.
The report is intended to describe completely the hydrothermal, sedimentary, and volcanic deposits and thermal features in the Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming at 1:24,000 scale. Geological information appropriately mapped at larger scale has been omitted.
Paper map of I-1373 scanned at 400 dpi as tiff file. Tiff file georegistered in ESRI's ArcMap. Geologic lines and Unit label points digitized on-screen from georegistered tiff file in ArcMap. Geologic polygons built from the Geologic lines and Unit label points feature classes. Annotation feature class created based on geographic names used on topographic map of Madison Junction quadrangle (1:62,500).
