Abstract:
This is a partial representation of Plate 1 from ISGS Bulletin 100 (1993). Features depicted are limited to well documented, significant anticlines, synclines and monoclines in Illinois. Names of the features and the geologic horizons (bedrock unit) on which they were mapped are included. This data set must be used in conjunction with the other feature classes in this dataset for a full representation of Plate 1 of ISGS Bulletin 100.
Purpose:
These data are for use at a scale of 1:500,000 or smaller only. They are appropriate for use in regional thematic analysis, for display purposes, and for mapping environmental phenomena related to them.

The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS as a reference base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines.

Supplemental_Information:
These data are generally considered to supersede structural feature data compiled in ISGS Circular 519, Structural Features in Illinois - A Compendium (Treworgy,1982). The 1982 data have been preserved for historical reasons and because they include many features that are no longer considered valid, and thus are not included in ISGS Bulletin 100. Data from Circ. 519 are also available in digital format. Generally, those interested in currently recognized and named structural features should use the data associated with Bull. 100. Those interested in other possible additional structures or historical structure names may want to use the data for Circular 519. Those unsure of which data set to use should consult both Bulletin 100 and Circular 519 in order to make an informed decision.

Recent updates to the data:

In March 2004 edition 1.0 of the data set was transitioned to storage in an Oracle RDBMS using the ArcSDE geodatabase model. The result (this version) is designated Edition 20040331.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The published (Plate 1) map from ISGS Bulletin 100 was the source for feature attributes. Attribute code assignments were checked by three individuals and are believed to fully representative of the source document.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
When the dataset was stored as a coverage it was checked for complete chain-node topology (no dangling arcs, except where appropriate), boundary values appropriate for map projection and map units, and appropriate "fuzzy" tolerances. There are no known arc attribute values outside the appropriate value domains.
Completeness_Report:
This data set contains anticlines, synclines and monoclines shown as line features on Plate 1, ISGS Bull. 100. This feature class must be used in conjunction with the other feature classes in this dataset for a full representation of Plate 1 of ISGS Bulletin 100.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy of this data with respect to the source map was verified by three individuals by visual comparison (manual overlay) of source maps and hard-copy plots. Arcs within one line-width of source mylars were deemed acceptable. Consult Bull. 100 and its sources for information on the derivation of structure locations.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The maps were digitized using a large format (48x60 inch) Calcomp 9100 digitizer. The digitizing was started April 7th, 1994 and completed April 11th, 1994. The weed tolerance was always set at zero during digitizing. The arcsnap was 100 feet for the line coverages. The nodesnap was 50 feet for the line coverages. The above arc and node snap distances were used in order to be certain that arcs would snap on themselves for polygon closure (eg. 2000 feet), and so the lines would not snap to themselves when short isolated arcs without closure (eg. 100 feet) were required. These tolerances prevented lines and points from snapping to themselves or other features.
Process_Date: 1994
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A base map for digitizing was created by setting tics at the intersection of latitude / longitude lines (1 degree by 1 degree) between 88 and 91 degrees west longitude and 37 to 42 degrees north latitude. These tics were used along with reference marks on the mylar separates to coordinate the base map with the mylar map separates containing geologic structural features.
Process_Date: 1994
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The root mean squared (rms) error during digitizing was between 0.004 and 0.008 digitizer inches. The registration points (tics) used for digitizing this map are as follows:

TIC # N. Latitude (degrees) W. Longitude (degree)

06 ~ 37 91 51 37 90 53 ~ 37 88 20 ~ 42 91 23 ~ 42 88 26 41 91 29 41 88 32 40 91 35 40 88 38 39 91 41 39 88 45 38 90 47 38 88

Note: a ( ~ ) tilde indicates the primary tics used for the statewide map.

Process_Date: 1994
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Line features were attributed using information from Plate 1 of ISGS Bulletin 100.
Process_Date: 1994
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
In 1994-95 the coverage underwent extensive QA/QC (Quality Assurance / Quality Control) review. QA/QC was performed using paper-plots of the map to overlay on the original mylar map, on-screen checking, and data tables of the feature item values for comparing to the original map and publication. These operations were performed and reviewed by several individuals.
Process_Date: 1994
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Source coverage (structclines) converted to double precision and reprojected to GCS_NAD83 using Workstation ArcInfo 7.2.1.

The features were imported into the ISGS SDE enterprise database following steps outlined in ISGS procedure GISDB_0009.

As the word NUMBER is a reserved word in Oracle, the field NUMBER was renamed to NUM.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Attribute items are in typical SDE feature class format. Those requiring additional explanation are:

GNTYPE - General structural type 1 - plunging anticline or anticlinal nose 2 - doubly plunging anticline 3 - asymmetrical anticline 4 - monocline 5 - syncline 6 - anticline (unspecified type)

GEOHORIZON and GEOHORIZON2 indicate the names of the geologic formation on which the feature is mapped. The ISGS Geologic Formation Numbering Code, a unique four digit number, was used to indicate these designations. If no horizon is indicated a code of 9999 is entered, meaning that the feature was mapped at the surface. In some cases there is more than one geologic formation associated with a mapped structural feature; in this case the GEOHORIZON2 field is used to indicate the additional geologic formation code number.

Code from Values for Bull. Geologic GEOHORIZON and 100 Description GEOHORIZON2 ----- ----------- -------------- HC top of Herrin Coal Member (#6) 2660 SC top of Springfield Coal Member (#5) 2790 CC top of Colchester Coal Member (#2) 3020 BC top of Beach Creek (Barlow) Limestone 4350 YT top of Yankeetown Sandstone 4480 SG top of St. Genevieve Limestone 5060 KE top of Keokuk Limestone 5350 NA base of New Albany Shale 5480 SL top of Silurian System 6700 GL top of Galena Group 7550 GW top of Glenwood Formation 8170 SP top of St. Peter Sandstone 8330 FR top of Franconia Formation 8660 IG top of Ironton/Galesville Sandstone 8690 EC top of Lightsville sand, in EauClaire Formation 8760 MS top of Mt. Simon Sandstone 8810 PC top of Precambrian (Age) 9200

NAME - the name of the structure

NUM - The item NUM is an unique value assigned to each member of a GNTYPE. For example, the Aden Anticline is feature number 1 of the Anticline general type, while Birkbeck Syncline is feature number 1 of the Syncline general type. Thus the combination of GNTYPE and NUMBER can be used to uniquely identify any feature. The relationship of NAME and NUM is shown in the following table.

NAME NUM ------------------------------------------- ------ Aden Anticline 1 Ancona Anticline 2 Ashton Anticline 3 Assumption Anticline 4 Astoria Anticline 5 Aurora Syncline 48 Ayers Anticline 7 Bardolph Anticline 9 Battle Ford Syncline 49 Bay Creek Syncline 50 Benton Anticline 12 Birkbeck Syncline 1 Black Jack Syncline 2 Bogota-Rinard Syncline 3 Boyd Anticline 14 Bremen Anticline 15 Brereton Anticline 16 Bridgeport Anticline 132 Brushy Anticline 17 Bryant Syncline 4 Bushnell Syncline 5 Campbell Hill Anticline 20 Canton Syncline 6 Charleston Monocline 6 Centralia Anticline 26 Clay City Anticline 27 Clinton Syncline 7 Colfax Syncline 8 Colmar Anticline 28 Columbia Syncline 9 Cooks Mills Anticline 29 Cooksville Anticline 123 Cordes Anticline 30 Cottage Anticline 31 Cresent City Anticline 122 Dahlgren Anticline 32 Divide Anticline 138 Downs Anticline 35 Du Quoin Monocline (east branch) 7 Du Quoin Monocline (main branch)(N) 8 Du Quoin Monocline (main branch)(S) 1 Du Quoin Monocline (main branch)(central) 9 Eagle Valley Syncline (Fluorspar Area) 10 Edgar Monocline 4 Elkton Anticline 140 Elmwood Syncline 12 Fairman Anticline 38 Fairview Syncline 13 Farmington Anticline 40 Fishhook Anticline 41 Galena Junction Syncline 14 Galena Syncline 15 Gilead Anticline 43 Goldengate Anticline 45 Graham-Ginte Syncline 16 Hardin Anticline 139 Harrison Creek Anticline 47 Herscher Anticline (S) 120 Herscher-Northwest Anticline 121 Hume Anticline 125 Iola Anticline 137 Irvington Anticline 141 Kenner Anticline 127 Kincaid Anticline 136 King Anticline 53 Leaf River Anticline 55 Lincoln Anticline 57 Littleton Anticline 58 Louden Anticline 59 Marshall-Sidell Syncline 22 Mattoon Anticline 65 McCormick Anticline 66 Media Anticline 67 Meppen Syncline 23 Millbrig Syncline 24 Minick Anticline 69 Monroe City Syncline 25 Murdock Syncline 26 New Burnside Anticline 71 Nilwood Anticline 72 Nutwood Anticline 74 Oregon Anticline 80 Osman Monocline 5 Otter Creek Syncline 30 Patoka Anticline 83 Pecatonica Anticline 133 Peru Monocline 3 Pinckneyville Anticline 86 Pittsburg Anticline 87 Pittsfield Anticline 88 Polo Syncline 32 Portage Syncline 33 Pottsville Syncline 34 Ripley Syncline 36 Salem Anticline 94 Saratoga Anticline 142 Sciota Anticline 96 Sesser Anticline 97 Seville Anticline 98 Smallpox Creek Syncline 39 St. David Anticline 92 Table Grove Syncline 43 Thebes Anticline 107 Tolu Arch (Anticline) (Hicks Dome) 143 Troy-Brussels Syncline 44 Tuscola Anticline 109 Uptons Cave Syncline 45 Valmeyer Anticline 110 Vergennes Anticline 111 Versailles Anticline 112 Vinegar Hill Syncline 46 Waterloo-Dupo Anticline 116 Woburn Anticline 118 unnamed Anticline 134 unnamed Anticline 135 unnamed Anticline 131 unnamed Anticline 126 unnamed Monocline (Bodenschatz-Lick Fault) 10 unnamed Monocline (Ste.
