The superlative hot springs, geysers, and fumarole fields of Yellowstone National Park are vivid reminders of a recent volcanic past. Volcanism on an immense scale largely shaped the unique landscape of central and western Yellowstone Park, and intimately related tectonism and seismicity continue even now. Furthermore, the volcanism that gave rise to Yellowstone's hydrothermal displays was only part of a long history of late Cenozoic eruptions in southern and eastern Idaho, northwestern Wyoming, and southwestern Montana. The late Cenozoic volcanism of Yellowstone National Park, although long believed to have occurred in late Tertiary time, is now known to have been of latest Pliocene and Pleistocene age. The eruptions formed a complex plateau of voluminous rhyolitic ash-flow tuffs and lavas, but basaltic lavas too have erupted intermittently around the margins of the rhyolite plateau. Volcanism almost certainly will recur in the Yellowstone National Park region.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Data were minimally modified as necessary (e.g. clipped to spatial extent, desired features extracted, projected to a different coordinate system, attribute fields renamed and/or added, symbolized) by the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) in April, 2020 for simplified display on the interactive Geology of Yellowstone Map.

The database was compiled mainly in 1995-2000 from original geologic mapping by Robert L. Christiansen (Christiansen, 2001). Richard D. Koch and David W. Ramsey provided the GIS-expertise to bring the database and metadata to completion.

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 fact that this database was edited for a scale of 1:50,000 means that higher resolution information is not present in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:50,000 will not yield greater 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. Acknowlegdement of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> This database, identified as DS XXX, has been approved for release and publication by the Director of the USGS.

The geologic map plates in Professional Paper 729-G show the distribution and relations of volcanic units in the Yellowstone National Park region. This metadata document contains information for the entire set of ArcGIS feature classes included in this database. Where relevant information for individual feature classes differs from that of the others, each feature class is documented separately in sequence in that metadata section. 1 -111.095264 -110.018643 45.100558 44.134394 Polygon and arc (chain-node) topology present in appropriate ArcGIS feature classes. Other feature classes are point or line exclusively and do not require topologic relationships. The report is intended to describe completely the igneous and volcanic products, volcanic vent locations, and structural features of the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field. Geological information appropriately mapped at larger scales than those of the individual map plates has been omitted. 142 drill_holes drill hole locations feature class authors Feature Class 142 OBJECTID_1 OBJECTID_1 OID 4 0 0 Internal feature number.
