and Sanders counties, Montana

Resource Abstract:
This metadata describes thirteen different geo-referenced tifimages. Hand colored geological mapped data of the area inSanders
and Lincoln counties, Montana and Kootenai, Bonner,Benewah, and Shoshone counties, Idaho were converted to digitalformat (TIFF).
These data were donated to US Geological Survey bythe mineral industry. The area lies in the western part of theBelt Basin
and contains metasedimentary rocks of MiddleProterozoic age. The area mainly contains rocks of the Prichard,Burke, Revett,
St. Regis, Wallace, Empire and Spokane formations.The source maps were scanned on an Ideal FSC 6010 36" width colorpass
through scanner at 200 ppi as 8 bit indexed color or in twoinstances at the 24 bit color level. Images were registered andrectified
to provided neatline coverages in Universal TransverseMercator zone 11 projection using ArcView Image AnalysisExtension, version
1.1.The source maps were non-publishedAsarco company maps representing different geographical areas.TIFF image names and their
corresponding descriptions belonging tothe Cabinet Mountains Reconnaissance program include:>PL1R -Geologic map, Lincoln
