(1) vector spatial data layers in ArcView shape file format for surficial geologic units and contacts, cross-section line locations, and data points for stratigraphic test holes, outcrops and water wells;
(2) JPEG browse images of the final published map;
(3) metadata in several FGDC compliant formats for all spatial layers
The vector data include name for geologic unit, map symbol, and a line-type indicator.
Vector data are in the geographic coordinate system, decimal degrees, NAD83.
For a detailed list of the files included in the data product, see the Supplemental_Information section.
The data were published in 2002 on an ISGS Illinois Geologic Quadrangle (Illinois Portion) entitled Surficial Geology Map, Elsah Quadrangle (Illinois Portion), Jersey and Madison Counties, Illinois by David Grimley. The data in this compilation do not include all the information on the published map. Refer to the published map for a complete explanation of the Quaternary geology of the Elsah Quadrangle (Illinois Portion).
The nominal scale is 1:24,000.
