Digital representation of geologic mapping facilitates the presentation and analysis of earth-science data. Digital maps may be displayed at any scale or projection, however the geologic data in this coverage is not intended for use at a scale larger than 1:250,000.

The linework was captured by scanning an inked greenline overlay to create a TIFF that was then heads up digitized. After digitizing the file was attributed in ARC/INFO. The digital data has been visually checked against the original.
Users of this digital geologic map should respect the intentions of the original mappers and the limitations of the map. This geologic map compilation is intended to be used at a scale of 1:250,000; it is not intended to be used at a more detailed scale.
These coverages were used to create the map portion of 03-367. Text files, tables, graphics, symbolsets, and topography shown on the map sheet are not included.
Coverage noatakgeol is a network coverage containing
arcs and polygons. Each polygon has a coded attribute
designating the mapped geologic unit. Stratigraphic contacts
and water boundaries are represented as arcs. There are
two associated info files noatakgeol.lut and noatakgeol.lut2 that were
used to assign symbols, overprints, and labels when plotting
from ARC/INFO.
Coverage noatak_pnt is a point coverage used to place
symbols for directional arrows and passes.
