Purpose: To delineate geologic contacts and thematically depict generalized geologic age of outcrops in Open File Report 97-470-L Surface Geology, Oil and Gas Fields, and Geologic Provinces of the Gulf of Mexico, which was compiled as a reference for the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. This dataset was used to produce maps in ESRI ArcMap 8.3 and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats. Files were exported from geodatabase feature class to ESRI shapefile and ArcInfo export formats for use in other applications.

French. Metadata Creation - Christopher D. French. Project coordination - Christopher J. Schenk. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.3.0.800 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Some special geologic age symbols have been modified to use standard character types. Examples of this modification occur in the geologic codes for Triassic, Mesozoic, and Precambrian rock types. No generalization (grouping) was performed on geologic age attributes. Any unidentified polygons on the source map are attributed as "Und" - Undetermined. The scanned source maps were used as a reference for attributing. Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon topology exists. Geodatabase topology rules used to identify and correct gaps and overlaps in the polygon feature class. Geodatabase coded domains used for attributing. Most geologic descriptions follow naming conventions found on the original source map. Some descriptions may be abbreviated. Several polygons were of an undetermined age because of printing problems or lack of clarity on original source map. There was no grouping of ages in the attributing process. Completeness_Report: Complete Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal positional accuracy was not formally quantified. Some details about the scanning and referencing process along with errors are stated below. 1) The original source map was provided in two plates at a scale of 1:2,500,000. Each plate was scanned at 300 dpi in RGB color mode. Adobe Photoshop 6.0 was used to merge east and west images together at edges. Some discrepancies were noticed on edge match. Edge mismatch was no greater than 500 m in a few areas, while good matches were found elsewhere. Discrepancies were averaged while digitizing. 2) A vector dataset originating from the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Digital Chart of the World (DCW) series was available for georeferencing. This dataset is known to have a nominal scale of 1:1,000,000 and was available as a shapefile from the United States Geological Survey, Digital Data Series DDS-62-A Global GIS Database: Digital Atlas of Central and South America. 3) The ArcMap 8.3 georeferencing tool was used to establish control points and reference merged image. The original maps were provided in Mercator projection with true scale at 19 degrees north latitude. Attempts were made to transform the reference shapefile to the stated projection for georeferencing, but major errors existed along southern edges of map. A geographic coordinate system (WGS_1984) was used with more success. 57 control points were established to perform a 3rd order polynomial transformation. Other transformation methods were attempted along with other control point placement, but resulted in more error. A root mean square (RMS) error of 1611.8 m was recorded. 4) Discrepancies were anticipated between source map shorelines and country boundaries because of scale difference. Other distortions may have been inherent in the source maps. Overall dimensions of map fit well at desired display scale of 1:2,500,000. Discrepancies in shoreline were random and variable, rarely exceeding 3,500 m.
