Description:
Abstract:
This is a partial representation of Plate 1 from ISGS Bulletin 100 (1993). Features depicted are limited to well documented, significant faults, faulted flexures and grabens in Illinois. Names of the features and the associated directions of faulting 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 faults, faulted flexures and grabens as 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 (structfaults) 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 - normal fault or fault (type unknown) 2 - reverse or thrust fault 3 - strike-slip fault 4 - graben 5 - faulted flexure

NAME - the name of the structure

NUM - The item NUM is an unique value assigned to each member of a GNTYPE. For example, the Albion Ridgeway Fault Zone is feature number 1 of the normal fault general type, while Albion Ridgeway Fault Zone (Ridgeway Graben) is feature number 1 of the graben general type. Thus the combination of GNTYPE and NUM can be used to uniquely identify any feature. The relationship of NAME and NUM is shown in the following table.

NAME NUM ---------------------------------------------- ------ Albion Ridgeway Fault Zone 1 Albion Ridgeway Fault Zone (Ridgeway Graben) 1 Atwood Fault 2 Bodenschatz-Lick Fault Zone 43 Cap au Gres Faulted Flexure (monoclinal) 41 Centralia Fault Zone 3 Cook County Faults 29 Cottage Grove Fault (Lt. hand strike-slip) 4 Cottage Grove Fault (Lt. hand strike slip) 4 Cottage Grove Fault System 4 Cottonwood Fault (Ridgeway Graben) 5 Crown Fault (Rt. hand strike-slip) 39 Delta Fault 6 Des Plaines Disturbance Fault 37 Dixon Springs Graben 49 Dowell Fault Zone 7 Equality Fault 55 Girard Fault 40 Herald-Phillipstown Fault 9 Herald-Phillipstown Fault Zone 9 Inman East Fault 10 Inman Fault 11 Inman Fault (Inman Graben) 11 Inman West Fault (Inman Graben) 12 Junction Fault 13 Little Cache Fault Zone 45 Lusk Creek Fault Zone 48 Maunie Fault Zone 14 Mud Creek Fault Zone 17 New Harmony Fault Zone 56 North Fork Fault 18 Omaha Graben 54 Pitcher Lake Fault 19 Plum River Fault Zone 20 Pomona Fault 21 Rend Lake Fault Zone 22 Ribeyre Island Fault 23 Rock Creek Graben 52 Sandwich Fault Zone 25 Shawneetown Fault Zone 26 Sicily Fault 38 Ste. Genevieve Fault Zone 24 Wartrace Fault Zone 46 White Ash Fault Zone 27 Winkleman Fault 28 unnamed Fault (New Burnside Anticline) 47 unnamed Fault (Pinckneyville Anticline) 42 unnamed Fault (SE of Lawrenceville Dome) 57 unnamed Fault (Wine Hill Dome) 53 unnamed Faults (Hardin County) 51 unnamed Faults (Johnson County) 32 unnamed Faults (Massac County) 44 unnamed Faults (Pope County) 50 unnamed Faults (Pulaski County) 34 unnamed Faults on Troy Grove Dome 35

DIRECTION: Direction is also indicated in the attribute DIRECTION. It lists the general compass direction of the displaced side of a fault (upthrown side for reverse or thrust fault and downthrown side for a normal fault) relative to the general trend of the fault of the fault. For example, for a N-S trending normal fault, a DIRECTION value of E indicates that the east side is downthrown relative to the west side. The fault's DIRECTION is frequently a single direction, but in the case of curvilinear arcs more than one direction may be indicated. For example, consider a normal fault with a general trend of E-W that curves to become SE-NW as one follows the fault from east to west. A DIRECTION value of N-NE indicates that the north-northeast side is the relatively downthrown side. If the fault has no downthrown side indicated, the DIRECTION attribute value is "None".
