GIS Data for Geologic Map of the Salmon National Forest and Vicinity, East-Central Idaho
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides an updated digital geospatial database for the geologic map of the Salmon National Forest and vicinity, east-central Idaho (Evans and Green, 2003). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in USGS Investigations Series Map I-2765. Minor errors, such as mistakes in line decoration or differences between the digital data and the map image, are corrected in this version.
The database represents the geology for the 11,265 square kilometer, geologically complex Salmon National Forest in two plates, at a publication scale of 1:100,000. The map covers primarily Lemhi County, but also includes minor parts of Beaverhead, Custer, Idaho, Ravalli and Valley Counties. New geologic mapping was undertaken between 1990 and 2002 and synthesized with older published maps, providing significant stratigraphic and structural data, age data for intrusive rocks, and interpretations of geologic development.
