  4. Title: Geologic Units (Polygons): Generalized Geologic Map of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, 2005

    • Polygon data
    • 2005
    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains polygon boundaries, tags and labels for major geologic units in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to the polygons representing the areal extent of geologic units, it identifies major faults and continental glaciation in Alaska. The data depict the geology of the bedrock that lies at or near the land surface, but not the distribution of surficial materials such as soils, alluvium, and glacial deposits. This map complements the Generalized Geologic Map of the Conterminous United States by Reed and Bush. The data are generalized from a compilation prepared for use in the Geologic Map of North America, published as a paper map by the Geological Society of America and to be released as a digital file by the U.S. Geological Survey. This layer is part of the 1997-2014 edition National Atlas of the United States. These data have been prepared with a degree of detail appropriate for viewing at a scale of 1:7,500,000. Because of the degree of generalization required (generalization based on compilation scale), the data are intended primarily for display and for regional and national analysis, rather than for more detailed analysis in specific areas.

Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/bs303sf0424. The data set for the Generalized Geologic Map of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands consists of four data layers. All the data layers were created as ArcInfo coverages and converted to other formats for distribution purposes. The data layers are distributed and should be used together. The data are available as shapefiles or ArcInfo Export files. The data layers for faults are included in two different versions. The following files are included: > fltg01l075 - Fault lines, with line decorations* > falt01l075 - Fault lines, without line decorations** > geol01m075 - Geologic units, as polygons > gtxt01l075 - Graphic representation of geologic unit text* > >* These files are not 'true' ArcInfo coverages; they are graphic > representations of symbols and text used on the geologic map.
