Resource Abstract:
- description: The Unpublished Digital Surficial Geologic-GIS Map of Gateway National Recreation Area and Vicinity, New Jersey
and New York is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables in a 10.1 file geodatabase (gwsf_geology.gdb), a 10.1 ArcMap (.MXD)
map document (gwsf_geology.mxd), individual 10.1 layer (.LYR) files for each GIS data layer, an ancillary map information
(.PDF) document (gate_geology.pdf) which contains source map unit descriptions, as well as other source map text, figures
and tables, metadata in FGDC text (.TXT) and FAQ (.HTML) formats, and a GIS readme file (gwsf_gis_readme.pdf). Please read
the gwsf_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the file geodatabase and other map files. To
request GIS data in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format contact Stephanie OMeara (stephanie.omeara@colostate.edu; see contact information
below). The data is also available as a 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map
is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. Google Earth software is available for
free at: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization,
and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic
Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program
that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD). Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI
digital dataset were provided by the following: New Jersey Geological Survey and New York State Museum. Detailed information
concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata
record (gwsf_metadata_faq.html; available at http://nrdata.nps.gov/geology/gri_data/gis/gate/gwsf_metadata_faq.html). Users
of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of
1:100,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 127 meters or 416.7 feet of
their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is
exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary
tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm).
The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 18N, however, for the KML/KMZ format the data is projected upon export to WGS84
Geographic, the native coordinate system used by Google Earth. The data is within the area of interest of Gateway National
Recreation Area.; abstract: The Unpublished Digital Surficial Geologic-GIS Map of Gateway National Recreation Area and Vicinity,
