Data are originally from ISGS Circular 490 by Piskin and Bergstrom (1975), Plate 1. Contours (lines) are coded with thickness, and polygons (areas between contours) are coded with range of thickness. Nominal scale is 1:500,000. Unconsolidated deposits, mainly glacial drift, overlie the bedrock surface in most of Illinois. Glacial drift ranges from less than a few feet to approximately 600 feet in thickness. The thickest drift occurs in major preglacial valleys cut into the bedrock and filled with glacial sediments. Regionally thick drift occurs in the N.E. portions of the state. The thinnest drift, less than 25 feet thick and intersected by numerous bedrock outcrops, occurs widely in southern and western portions of the State. Drift, as shown on this map, may include any of the following: unconsolidated deposits, glacial drift, Wisconsinan deposits, Illinoian deposits, till, glaciofluvial deposits, glaciolacustrine deposit, wind-blown deposits (loess). Purpose: These data may be used to determine approximate depth to bedrock in regional areas of the state (eg. townships). The data are not of sufficient detail for use in determining drift thickness for specific locations. The data can be used for physical or environmental models of the state's unconsolidated geologic materials, eg. coupled with geophysical information, satellite imagery, air photos, hydrologic data, or other data in a Geographic Information System at a statewide scale of 1:500,000. 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. Supplemental_Information: Recent updates to the data: In April 2004 edition 2.0 of the data set was transitioned to storage in an Oracle RDBMS using the ArcSDE geodatabase model. The result (this version) is designated Edition 20040423. Edition 1.0 of this data set was replaced edition 2.0 in June, 1998. The data were reviewed as described in the logical consistency report and process steps for May, 1998. Contour values, which were not included in edition 1.0, were included in version 2.0.

Most of the data still reflect ISGS Circular 490 (1975).

Checks were also performed by relating polygon and arc attribute tables and comparing polygon drift thickness range codes with arc drift thickness values. These checks were reiterated by three individuals. There are no known polygon or arc attribute values outside the appropriate domains. There were, however, some anomalous values discovered on the primary source map (Piskin and Bergstrom, 1975, Plate 1) that have been retained in this data set. See logical consistency report. Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon and chain-node topology was present in the source coverage. It was checked for complete chain-node topology (no dangling arcs, except where appropriate), polygon labels (one per polygon, except for universal polygon), boundary values appropriate for map projection and map units, and appropriate "fuzzy" tolerances. The data set meets these parameters. However, there exists at least one instance of anomalous contour labeling on the source map and in this data set. A pair of concentric contours exist in west-central Woodford County which should have a third contour around them labeled 100 feet. The missing contour does not appear on the source mylar for the map. The anomaly could not be reconciled, so it was left as it appeared on the original map. See the small "bulls-eye" contour in west-central Woodford County. Completeness_Report: See Piskin and Bergstrom (1975), ISGS Circular 490. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal positional accuracy was verified by visual overlay of source and hard-copy plots. Arcs within line-width of source maps were deemed acceptable. For positional accuracy of source maps, see Piskin and Bergstrom (1975), ISGS Circular 490.

Process_Date: 1984 Process_Step: Process_Description: The data was compared to the original mylar map at ISGS from the Circular 490 publication, and edits were made to make the digital map match the original mylar. Attribute coding remained the same. Editing was performed on a digitizing board using the original tics or registration points for the statewide coverage. Process_Date: 1984 Process_Step: Process_Description: The data set underwent quality assurance review in 1994. Many lines were smoothed and densified to provide a better match to the source mylars. In McDonough, Knox, and Fulton counties significant line edits were made where the digital lines did not match the mylar original (in most cases, due to collapsed arcs and/or carrying contours). Process_Date: 1994 Process_Step: Process_Description: Data set was reviewed in May, 1998. Review was limited to internal logical consistency of attribute items. Locations of features and accuracy of item values were not checked, except in cases where possible errors became apparent as a result of logical consistency checks. No checks were performed that involved plotting of hardcopy maps and manual overlay with source materials. Some changes were made, as follows: Arcs were coded with contour values. This was done with an AML program that assigned contour values to arcs based on the drift thickness values for the adjacent polygons. This processing was done in late 1996, but the updates were not posted to the general-use data set until June of 1998. The existing set of tics was replaced by the set of tics from the coverage RE-STATE1. These were derived from 7.5 minute quadrangle corners (data set QUAD75) and give a good distribution of tics immediately outside the state boundary. COVER-ID values were recalculated to be unique. Process_Date: 199806 Process_Date: 199806 Process_Step: Process_Description: Source coverage (driftthk) converted to double precision and reprojected to GCS_NAD83 using Workstation ArcInfo 7.2.1. The features were imported into the ISGS SDE enterprise database following steps outlined in ISGS procedure GISDB_0009. Metadata updated.
