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 measurements were checked for appropriate values based on map scale of data.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the author's interpretation of the Pleistocene geology of Wood County, and were captured from analog and digital sources. See the original published map and report for description of mapping techniques.

During the analog-to-digital conversion process a few errors were discovered on the original analog map. An empty unit [no fill, no label] needed to be identified; an area which should have been open water was printed as part of an adjacent geologic unit. These errors were corrected in the Geologic Unit Areas and Geologic Line Features. Any discrepancies between open-water areas of the digital hydrography file and the printed map were coded to match the original publication. Arrows appear on the map, but are not described in the explanation. These arrows indicate 'direction of flow of premodern streams.' This information was added to the 'MapText' field of Geologic Point Features and to the metadata for that feature class.

On the original map, the Powers Bluff chert fan was represented by dashed lines defining the axis and margins of the feature. In the digital data, the chert fan was represented by a single polygon feature, with lateral boundaries coinciding with the margin lines on the map.

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. These 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.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
1. Image Capture. An original paper copy of Plate 1, IC 68 was scanned and saved as a color TIFF image (wd_pl_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 WiDNR 1998. The georeferenced image was converted to MrSID image format using LizardTech GeoExpress 3.0 software. The resulting files include the image data (rec_wd_pl.sid) and a world file (rec_wd_pl.sdw).

A film positive of the scribecoat used to produce the original linework, without shorelines, was scanned and saved as a black-and-white tif image (wd_pl_lns_nb.tif). The TIFF image was then registered to Wisconsin Transverse Mercator NAD 1983 HARN (WTM 83/91) coordinates using ESRI ArcGIS software, referencing 1:100,000-scale county boundary corners in WiDNR 1998. The resulting file was used when vector-tracing the linework in ArcMap.

Process_Description:
2. Vectorization. Existing shapefile features from WiDNR 1998, including shorelines and boundary of Wood County, were copied into the geodatabase. Geologic features and attribute data were captured from wd_pl_lns_nb.tif, wd_pl_map.tif and rec_wd_pl.sid using editing tools in ArcMap.

During the analog-to-digital conversion process a few errors were discovered on the original analog map. An empty unit [no fill, no label] needed to be identified; an area which should have been open water was printed as part of an adjacent geologic unit.
