GIS Data for Reconnaissance Geologic Map of the Hells Canyon Study Area, Wallowa County, Oregon, and Idaho and Adams Counties, Idaho
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a digital geospatial database for the reconnaissance geologic map of the Hells Canyon Study Area, Wallowa County, Oregon, and Idaho and Adams Counties, Idaho (Simmons and others, 2007). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020) and represent the geologic map plates as published in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Scientific Investigations Report Map SIR 2007-5046 (Simmons and others, 2007).
The database represents the geology for the 625,177-acre (2,530 square kilometers), geologically complex Hells Canyon Study Area in two plates, at a publication scale of 1:48,000. The study area includes (1) the Hells Canyon Wilderness; (2) parts of the Snake River, Rapid River, and West Fork Rapid River Wild and Scenic Rivers; (3) lands included in the second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II); and (4) part of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
