Map scale is 1:500,000. Shows Quaternary deposits that lie at or near the land surface, including loess deposits. Purpose: For use in applications requiring generalized information for surface deposits in Illinois. 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 1.1 of the data set was transitioned to storage in an Oracle RDBMS using the ArcSDE geodatabase model. The result (this version) is designated Edition 20040422. Edition 1.1 had one minor update from previous edition (ver. 1.0). A polygon was deleted. See process steps.

Attribute accuracy was subsequently reviewed by ISGS personnel. Details of this review are unavailable. Logical_Consistency_Report: No report. Completeness_Report: This is good representation of Lineback's 1979 map, but there are differences. Polygons on the source map of less than one square mile in area or less than one half mile in width are not included. Other narrow polygons shown on the source map are not reflected in the data set, possibly due to polygon collapse. As a result, overlay with the published map shows significant differences in some areas. This data can only be used to show the generalized Quaternary boundaries within Illinois. An improved version is in preparation. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This coverage was generated by Environmental Systems Research Institute as one component of a multi-layer Integrated Terrain Unit (ITU) database. Automation was limited to polygons with area of one square mile or greater and linear features greater than one-half mile in width. Boundaries which were generally coincident with boundaries of other ITU layers (e.g., soil associations or surface water bodies) may have been adjusted to be exactly coincident. Overlay with the published map shows significant differences in some areas. This data can only be used to show the generalized Quaternary boundaries within Illinois.

(quat79#=2161, see the superceded coverage). Polygon was deleted because it portrayed a large body of water in Perry County that does not exist. The affected area was DISSOLVED into the surrounding polygon (Vandalia Till Member). New coverage retained the same name - is now version 1.1. Process_Date: 20001030 Process_Step: Process_Description: Source coverage (quat79) 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.

Those requiring additional explanation are: QAT-GEO - Defines the name of the geologic unit and indicates whether or not the unit is a moraine. The first four digits indicate unit name, as shown in the table below. The first four digits are identical to the item QUAT. The final digit is the moraine qualifier and is identical to the item QUAL. UNIT - Name of the geologic unit. See table below. QUAT - Number indicating name of the geologic unit. See table below. SYMBOL - Map symbol from the published map, corresponding to name and number of unit. See table below. QUAL - Indicates whether or not unit is a moraine 0 - not a moraine 1 - unit is a moraine 9 - water ABUNIT - Abbreviated unit name. This is the same as the first ten characters of UNIT.
