Seamless Integrated Geologic Map Database of the Intermountain West: Bedrock Geology
This dataset is intended to provide seamless, integrated bedrock geologic mapping of the U.S. Intermountain West region and is funded by the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Bedrock geology are included in this data release as an independent dataset at a variable resolution from 1:50,000 to 1:100,000 scale. No original interpretations are presented in this data set; rather, all interpretive data are assimilated from referenceable publications.
Initial contributions to this data release are along an east-west transect that parallels 37-degrees north latitude extending from the Rio Grande Rift and Great Plains in the east to the Basin and Range and Sierra Nevada to the west. Other areas of the Intermountain West region will be incorporated over time. Data are presented as downloadable file geodatabase (*.gdb) and as features services that can be directly ingested into GIS software for analysis. This dataset is intended to be versioned regularly as new geologic map data is integrated. The data structure follows the Seamless Integrated Geologic Mapping extension (SIGMa) (Turner and others, 2022) to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) (USGS, 2020).
