Description:

Abstract:

This feature class shows the distribution and extent of the bedrock geologic units within the State of Illinois, as depicted on the Geologic Map of Illinois (1967) by Willman and others, published by the Illinois State Geologic Survey.

Purpose:

These data can be used for any project which requires bedrock data at a scale of 1:500,000. This data should not be used at a scale larger than 1:500,000. Not suitable for site specific work.

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:

Detailed structural features are available in separate data sets.

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 paper geological map from the ISGS 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 in coverage format, this data set 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. There are 116 dangling arcs representing the endpoints of fault lines as depicted on source maps.

Completeness_Report:

This data set contains geologic units and fault lines as depicted on the source map. There are many additional features on the source map that are not depicted in this coverage, for example, geologic columns, cross-sections and other thematic insets. Quaternary materials are not shown.

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.

geologic unit outlines and attributes, and fault lines.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A mylar copy of this map was ordered from the publisher (William and Heintz). The mylar contained a state boundary, counties, township lines, geologic unit boundaries and labels. The map scale was 1:500,000.

Process_Date: Unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A TIC coverage was created by plotting a copy of the townships coverage and comparing the township lines in this plot to those on the mylar. The township intersections which corresponded within linewidth accuracy were marked and used to create a TIC coverage.

Process_Date: unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Larger scale PMTs were created of the mylar coverage. These PMTs were used during the digitizing process. The statewide coverage was split into 3 separate areas (for there were 3 people digitizing) These were northwest, southwest and east. The arcs were digitized for each area and the areas combined to form a statewide bedrock geology map.

Process_Date: unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Once the linework had been checked (several times) the coverage was built as a polygon coverage. Labels were then created using the CREATELABELS command. A plot was then generated containing the labels for each polygon as well as the arcs. This plot was then compared to the published map and a table was created containing the polygon label and the code for the designated geologic unit. This table was entered into INFO and an item was added to both the poly coverage and the info table. A relate was established and the geologic values moved to the appropriate item in the polygon PAT.

Process_Date: unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The final coverage is a single precision coverage and had been cleaned with a fuzzy tol of 1 and dangle of 1. It was reviewed as described under data quality information.

Process_Date: unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Source coverage (bedgeo) 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.
