- Abstract:
-
This dataset is the digital version of the map titled "Preliminary Quaternary Geology of Columbia, Green Lake, and Marquette Counties, Wisconsin." This map is published as an open-file report (WOFR2015-01) by Thomas S. Hooyer, William N. Mode, Lee Clayton, and John W. Attig and is available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.This dataset provides a spatial assessment of the unconsolidated surface sediment across the entire three-county area including—in some cases—interpretation of underlying sediments as well. The dataset was created by a combination of field mapping, core sample collection, and aerial photograph interpretation.These data represent work performed by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS) and are released to the open files in the interest of making the information readily available. The data have not been extensively reviewed for conformity with the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey standards and nomenclature.
- Purpose:
-
This dataset was produced as part of a project to map the unconsolidated surficial materials in Columbia, Green Lake, and Marquette Counties, Wisconsin. Understanding the surficial deposits, and the geologic processes that produced them, is an important resource for land-use planning decisions. Note that this dataset was developed for presentation and interpretation at the 1:100,000 scale, and may not be accurate for site-specific applications.

Hydrography (Wis_HydroLine_Dnr_100k_1998 and Wis_HydroArea_Dnr_100k_1998) shapefiles. The 1:100,000-scale hydrography data layer is derived from USGS 1:100,000-scale Digital Line Graphs (DLGs). WDNR enhancements to the source DLG data include conversion to ArcInfo format, edge matching of internal DLG files, and restructuring of feature attribute codes.

-
- Process_Description:
-
1. Vectorization. Geologic line features from WOFR2004-04 and WOFR2007-05 were imported in a geodatabase. Additional geologic line features were drawn onto USGS 1:24,000-scale quadrangle maps, scanned, and then raster-traced to obtain vector-based features. The digital vector data were projected from the original coordinate system to WTM 83/91. These data along with county boundary and shorelines were imported into the geodatabase. Following correction of topological errors, polygonal geologic map units were constructed from the unit boundary features.

- Process_Description:
-
2. Quality Control. The resultant digital vector data were compared to the original paper map and check plot methods to ensure all map data were correctly captured. In addition, attribute values were validated to be within the appropriate domain, and feature length and area measures were checked for appropriate values.

3. Data Export. Vector data were exported from geodatabase to shapefile format for digital publication.
