Description:

Abstract:

This dataset is the digital version of the map titled "Bedrock Geology of Wood County, Wisconsin." The map was originally published in analog form as Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey Information Circular 54, plate 1 (Map 86-4), by B.A. Brown and J.K. Greenberg (1986). This dataset shows the distribution of rock types from Archean to Cambrian age at the bedrock surface in Wood County. The accompanying explanation provides a brief description of the rocks, their relative ages, and structural relationships.

Purpose:

This dataset was created to provide a digital representation of the original analog map.

Title: Bedrock Geology of Wood County, Wisconsin: Geologic Unit Areas

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute accuracy was tested by comparing the source materials to hard copy plots and symbolized on-screen displays of the digitized data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Geologic line features and geologic unit area features were validated against geodatabase topology rules to ensure spatial consistency. Attribute values for fields "Type," "Feature," "Conf," and "UnitCode" were verified to be within the appropriate domain, and feature length and area measures were checked for appropriate values based on map scale of data.

Completeness_Report:

These data represent the authors' interpretation of the bedrock geology of Wood County and were digitized from analog sources. See Plate 1, IC 54 for additional information.

Overall, data were digitized as they appeared on the original publication. However, in several instances the representation of data on the original paper map was modified to facilitate digital capture. Instead of representing zones of foliation as wavy lines as on the original map, they are represented as point features of vertical foliation. Pits of disaggregated rock (rotten granite) used as road material within the map unit "gd," represented on the map as "R," were not included in the digital data as they aren't pertinent to the underlying geologic map unit. Finally, the map unit "B," representing zones of quartzite breccia within the unit "oq" on the original map, was digitized as "breccia zone" point features.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The positional accuracy of the features is based on their compilation to base maps that meet National Map Accuracy Standards. Geologic unit area features are bounded by geologic line features having a confidence qualifier which includes a positional accuracy component. Overall, these data are judged to be accurate at 1:100,000 scale and not intended for site-specific use.

Edition: GEODISC 3.0

ESRI shapefile of Wisconsin counties derived from U.S. Geological Survey digital line graph data.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

1. Image Capture. An original paper copy of Plate 1, IC 54 (also labeled as Map 86-4) was scanned and saved as a color TIFF image (wd_bg_map.tif). The TIFF image was then rectified to Wisconsin Transverse Mercator NAD 1983 HARN (WTM 83/91) coordinates using ESRI ArcGIS software, referencing 1:100,000-scale county boundary corners in ctyppoly.shp. The film positive was scanned and saved as a grayscale image (wd_bg_linefilm.tif) and georeferenced following the same procedure.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

2. Vectorization. The boundary of Wood County was copied from ctyppoly.shp to the geologic line feature class of the project geodatabase, providing the boundary of the map. Unit boundary lines were then captured from wd_bg_linefilm.tif using ArcScan vectorization tools. Following correction of topological errors, polygonal geologic map units were constructed from the unit boundary features. Finally, point features, and all feature attributes, were digitized and entered from wd_bg_map.tif.

Overall, data were digitized as they appeared on the original publication. However, in several instances the representation of data on the original paper map was modified to facilitate digital capture. Instead of representing zones of foliation as wavy lines as on the original map, they are represented as point features of vertical foliation. Pits of disaggregated rock (rotten granite) used as road material within the map unit "gd," represented on the map as "R," were not included in the digital data as they aren't pertinent to the underlying geologic map unit. Finally, the map unit "B," representing zones of quartzite breccia within the unit "oq" on the original map, was digitized as "breccia zone" point features.
