The Digital Geologic Map of Colorado in ARC/INFO Format
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
This dataset consists of a digital geologic map for the state of Colorado.
Description
This geologic map was prepared as a part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps. The geologic map was digitized from the original scribe sheets used to prepare the published Geologic Map of Colorado (Tweto 1979).
Consequently the digital version is at 1:500,000 scale using the Lambert Conformal Conic map projection parameters of the state base map. Stable base contact prints of the scribe sheets were scanned on a Tektronix 4991 digital scanner. The scanner automatically converts the scanned image to an ASCII vector format.

These vectors were transferred to a VAX minicomputer, where they were then loaded into ARC/INFO. Each vector and polygon was given attributes derived from the original 1979 geologic map. To rebuild the database, copy the contents of the following directory to your Arc/Info platform: geo-nsdi.er.usgs.gov/metadata/open-file/92-507/metadata.html and then run the AML "LOAD.AML".
