Digital geologic map data for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways and adjacent areas along the Current River and Jacks Fork,
Missouri
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
The geology of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) in southern Missouri has been mapped at 1:24,000 scale. This was
achieved through the combined efforts of U.S. Geological Survey and Missouri Geological Survey individual quadrangle mapping
and additional field work by the authors of this report. Geologic data covering the area of the ONSR, which also includes
a 1 mile buffer zone surrounding the park, as well as a few key adjoining areas, have been compiled into a single, seamless
GIS database. The intent is to provide base geologic information for natural science research and land management in the park
and surrounding areas. Additional detailed geologic information about the ONSR and surrounding areas is available in the separate
1:24,000 scale quadrangle maps and in a 1:100,000 scale map and report on the regional geology <a href="https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/sim3280"><em>(Weary
and others, 2014)</em></a>.<br> <br> The geologic map data are provided as ESRI file geodatabase feature classes, related
tables, and layer files organized under an ESRI ArcMap version 10.2 .mxd file (ozar_geology.mxd) so that colors, labeling,
and data relates remain intact after downloading by the user. The database structure follows the National Park Service Geologic
Resources Evaluation Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model. Copies of individual shapefile versions of the feature data may be
requested from the lead author.<br> <br> Associated, external FGDC metadata files, both at the project and at the feature
class level, are also available for download.<br> <br> Reference:<br> Weary, D.J., Harrison, R.W., Orndorff, R.C., Weems,

purpose:
Geologic map data were created and compiled to provide seamless 1:24,000 scale coverage for an area that contains the entire
Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) and completes a geologic inventory sponsored by the National Park Service (NPS), Geologic
Resources Division. These data are intended to provide geologic information to ONSR personnel and their scientific cooperators
for use in various natural resource and land classification studies.
