Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset uses a combination of slope and rock strength to convey regional susceptibility to deep-seated landslides in Wyoming. It is intended to provide government officials, the public, and other users a generalized dataset for regional analysis of landslide potential. Statewide deep-seated landslide susceptibility was developed utilizing methods tested by Wilson and Keefer (1985), Ponti and others (2008), and Wills and others (2011). Susceptibility was assigned using the classification matrix based on the slope from the 30-meter digital-elevation grid of the National Elevation Dataset and rock strength,derived from statewide geologic mapping and descriptions developed in Love and Christiansen (1985), and rock types from Stoeser and others (2005). This map does not display susceptibility to debris flows or other shallow landslides, nor is it appropriate for site-specific evaluation. Data were clipped to an area surrounding Yellowstone National Park.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The soils of Yellowstone National Park were being mapped between 1988 and 1996 to provide better information about their nature and distribution. The coverage of the soils of Yellowstone National Park of 1996 provides baseline soil data at an Order IV level. The information can be used for site-specific work only after field verification. Aerial photography taken between 1969 and 1971, surficial geology maps completed in 1970's, existing digital maps (Habitat Types, Landforms and Parent Material, DEM etc.), and information from site observations were used. The map units delineate soil bodies that occur together in repeating patterns on the landscape. Map units include a combination of soils, mapped together to reflect the scale of mapping, standards for purity, survey objectives, and map readability (see section Entity and Attribute Information for details). Rather than making map units with predetermined interpretations in mind, major soil properties were grouped to maximize differences between groups and minimize differences within a group. This type of grouping allows the user flexibility in developing interpretations for specific interests. The location of each map unit is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each map unit and each soil in the survey area is described in detail, including soil properties that affect land use and potential. The ARC coverage contains about 5,000 polygons, and about 80 different map units, each a combination of soils. Primary attributes are in the .PAT file, described in the Entity and Attribute Information Section of this Metadataset.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Data were downloaded by the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) in January, 2020 for display on the interactive Geology of Yellowstone Map.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>This study aims to introduce readers to the diversity and complexity of Yellowstone's surface features. Within applied geomorphology, a landform is defined as "any physical, recognizable form or feature of the Earth's surface having a characteristic shape, and produced by natural causes; it includes major forms such as a plain, plateau, or mountain, and minor forms such as a hill, valley, slope, esker, or dune. Taken together, landforms make up the surface configuration of the Earth.". The surface configuration of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is a complex continuum of slopes and surficial materials. To make sense of this complexity, we classify groups of slopes and materials into a set of relatively homogeneous classes. Note that this scheme reduces the continuous landscape picture to a set of classes (albeit a large number of them) within each of which surface features are relatively similar. These classes are termed "landforms." The objective of this study was to characterize the nature and distribution of "meso" level landforms and associated features for the entire park (2,196,480 acres (889,574 ha)). "Meso" level landforms are on the order of 2.5 to 250 acres (10,000 to 1,000,000 m2), and include valleys, moraine, hills, and scarps. "Micro" level landforms of 0.0025 to 2.5 acres (10 to 10,000 m2) include features such as footslopes, kettles, small terrace scarps. We judged these too detailed for the kinds of landscape level work needed in the park. We selected a mapping scale of 1:62,500 to give the best combination of readability, publication practicality, and appropriate use of available data. We characterized landforms in terms of both visible and inferred characteristics. These characteristics include: genetic origin, kind and degree of stream drainage dissection, slope gradient distribution, slope curvature (profile and plan), relief, proportion and shape of bedrock exposure, and the nature of included surficial materials. These terms are described in Differentiation of Landforms (Shovic, H. F. 1996. Landforms and Associated Surficial Materials of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone National Park, Center for Resources, Mammoth, WY). Their definitions follow concepts used in geomorphology, as modified by mapping specialists. Results include an ARC/INFO coverage, with 6,214 polygons, and about 800 different map units, each a combination of landform, matrix composition, and presence of wet areas.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Data were downloaded in December, 2020 by the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) for display on the interactive Geology of Yellowstone Map.
