New Mexico Geologic Map, USGS Open File Report OFR-97-52
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This Geologic Map of New Mexico was prepared as part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic
maps. The map includes volcanic vent locations and surface geology. The geologic map was digitized in GSMAP version 8 (Seiner
and Taylor, 1992) at Socorro, New Mexico by Orin Anderson and Glen Jones and published as the Geologic Map of New Mexico 1:500,000
(Anderson and Jones, 1994) in GSMAP format. The vector line work and polygon point labels were converted to ARC/INFO format
on a DOS based PC with GSMARC (Green and Seiner, 1988). These data were transferred to a Data General UNDC system and loaded
into ARC/INFO. Each vector and polygon was given attributes derived from the original 1994 GSMAP geologic map. Both digital
versions are at 1:500,000 scale using the Lambert Conformal Conic map projection parameters of the State base map. The map
and figures were converted to Adobe Portable Document File (PDF) format. Acrobat allows the user to view the New Mexico Geologic
Map without loading the data into ARC/INFO.
