  1. Title: World Geologic Provinces, 2000

    Contributors:

    Summary: Geologic Provinces is a polygon theme representing U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the World. Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are generally defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour, but where appropriate are defined by the 4000 meter bathymetric contour. In some cases province boundaries are delineated by political boundaries, as in the case of The United States and Canada, because United States petroleum resources were assessed separately by the U.S. Geological Survey. Provinces are classified as either Priority or Boutique. A priority province is one of 76 non-U.S. geologic provinces defined by the U.S. Geological Survey that together contain 95 percent of the world's non-U.S. known petroleum volume. All priority provinces were analyzed for undiscovered petroleum-resources. A boutique province is a geologic province, other than a priority province, as defined by the U.S. Geological Survey, considered for petroleum-resource assessment. Boutique provinces can be chosen for a variety of geologic, political, technical and geographic reasons. Resource-assessments are conducted by scientists of the U.S Geological Survey's World Petroleum Assessment 2000 by means of a combination of Petroleum System analysis based on available geologic information, and statistical analysis of production and exploration information. Total petroleum systems are defined in provinces considered for assessment analysis. Total petroleum systems are subdivided into Assessment Units. Assessment results from the analysis of assessment units and total petroleum systems are aggregated and allocated to geologic provinces. Summary results are presented as attributes of this coverage.

  2. Title: World (Petroleum Fields, 2003)

    • Point data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: This shapefile includes arcs and polygons that describeU.S. Geological Survey delineatedTotal Petroleum Systems of the World. Each petroleum systemis defined as a mappable entity encompassing geneticallyrelated petroleum that occurs in seeps, shows and accumulations(discovered or undiscovered) that have been generated by a pod,or by closely related pods, of mature source rock, together withthe essental mappable geologic elements (source, reservoir, sealand overburden rocks) that control fundamental processes ofgeneration, migration, entrapment and preservation of petroleum.Total petroleum systems are described by U.S. Geological Surveyscientists on the basis of exploration and production histories,and extensive literature searches. Total petroleum systems areidentified with a numeric code derived from the numeric codeof the World Geologic Provinces as defined by theU.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project. Most totalpetroleum systems are contained within a single geologicprovince, but there are numerous cases where systemsspan more than one province. Summary results of the assessmentare presented as attributes of this shapefile.

  7. Title: Populated Points, Solano County, California, 2007

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point layer contains the locations and names of 'populated places' within the County of Solano. The source data for this layer is Teale Data Center's California specific extraction of the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) datafiles. These features are compiled mainly from USGS map products, such as the 7.5' 1:24,000 quads. Modifications were made to the source data to suit the intended purpose of the layer.

  10. Title: Vienna, Austria, 1873 (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Situations-Plan von Wien und Umbegung. It was published by Ferdinand Klemm in 1873. Scale [ca. 1:16,600]. Covers Vienna, Austria. Map in German.The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the MGI 3-Degree Gauss Kruger coordinate system. All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map.This map shows features such as roads, railroads and stations, street railways, drainage, built-up areas and selected buildings, point of interest, fortification, city districts, ground cover, gardens, parks, and more. Relief shown by hachures. Includes indexes.This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from The Harvard Map Collection as part of the Imaging the Urban Environment project.

  14. Title: Principal Aquifers, New York State, 1998

    Contributors:

    Summary: This data set contains the shallowest principal aquifers of New York State, portrayed as lines. The data set was developed as part of the effort to produce the maps published at 1:2,500,000 in the printed series "Ground Water Atlas of the United States". The published maps contain base and cultural features not included in these data. This data set was previously called Principal Aquifers of the 48 Contiguous United States. These data are intended for use in publications, at a scale of 1:2,500,000 or smaller. Due to the small scale, the primary intended use is for regional and national data display and analysis, rather than specific local data analysis.
