Geologic Map and Digital Database of the Cane Quadrangle, Coconino County, Northern Arizona

This digital map database is compiled from unpublished data and new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of surficial and bedrock geology in the mapped area. Together with the accompanying pamphlet, it provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area. The database delineate map units thatare identified by age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey.

The scale of the source maps limits the spatial resolution of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller. This report consists of a set of geologic map database files (ARC/ INFO coverages) and supporting text and plot files. In addition, the report includes two sets of plot files (Post Script and PDF format) that will generate map sheets and pamphlets similar to a traditional USGS Miscellaneous Field Studies Report.

These files are described in the explanatory pamphlets (canegeo.doc, canegeo. pdf, or canegeo.txt). The base layer used in the preparation of the geologic map plot files was derived from a Digital Raster Graphic of a standard USGS 7.5' quadrangle. This raster image was converted to Grid format in ARC/INFO, trimmed and rotated, then converted to a GeoTIFF image.

The resultant TIFF image was combined with geologic data to produce the final map layout in Illustrator 8.0.
