The component feature classes show geologic units (polygons) and faults (lines.)
The nominal scale of the published hardcopy map is 1:500,000. In some areas data of greater scale were generalized and incorporated.

This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.
Coordinates defining the features.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

This data set was compiled to replace/update the existing feature dataset (IL_Bedrock_Geology_500K_1967), based on the 1967 Willman et al. Geologic Map of Illinois.The data can be used for any project which requires bedrock data at a scale of 1:500,000. This data should not be used at a scale larger than 1:500,000. Not suitable for site specific work.
The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS as a reference base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines.

No report.
Data were compiled from areas mapped at difference scales. Scale varies across the map. Some source data were generalized. The smallest scale of data used is 1:500,000, and that is the scale of the published map. Geologic unit boundaries are approximate.
This data set contains geologic units and fault lines as depicted on the source map. There are many additional features on the source map that are not depicted in this digital data set, for example, geologic columns, cross-sections and other thematic insets. Quaternary materials are not shown.
No report.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
