Resource Abstract:
- description: This map was created as part of a worldwide series of geologic maps for the U.S. Geological Survey's World
Energy Project. These products are available on CD-ROM and through the Internet. The goal of the project is to assess the
undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. Most of the source data for this map compilation
were digitized from the Geologic-Tectonic Map of the Caribbean Region by J.E. Case and T.L. Holcombe, at a scale of 1:2,500,000.
For data management purposes, the world was divided into eight energy regions based on political boundaries and corresponding
approximately to the economic regions of the world as defined by the U.S. Department of State. Region Six encompasses the
Caribbean area, Central America, and South America. Other products are also available related to Region Six, including the
Geologic Map of South America (USGS Open File Report 97-470-D). Countries listed below are shown whole or in part within the
map extent of the Caribbean region: Anguilla Antigua and Barbuda Aruba Bahamas Barbados Belize British Virgin Islands Cayman
Islands Colombia Costa Rica Cuba Dominica Dominican Republic El Salvador Grenada Guadeloupe Guatemala Guyana Haiti Honduras
Jamaica Martinique Mexico Montserrat Netherlands Antilles Nicaragua Panama Puerto Rico St. Kitts and Nevis St. Lucia St. Vincent
and the Grenadines Trinidad and Tobago Turks and Caicos Islands United States Venezuela Virgin Islands The world was previously
divided into geologic provinces for the World Energy Project, of which a subset is shown on the map. Each province has a set
of geologic characteristics that distinguish it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include dominant lithologies,
the age of the strata, and/or structural type. Each province is assigned a unique number and may fall within two or more countries
or assessment regions. The World Geographic Coordinate System of 1984 was used for data storage and map display. Other details
about the map compilation and data sources are provided in several metadata formats in the data section on this CD-ROM. Various
software packages were used to create this map including: Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) ArcGIS 8.3,
ArcInfo software, Adobe Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, and Acrobat 6.0.; abstract: This map was created as part of a worldwide
