Resource Abstract:
- description: The Unpublished Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Richmond National Battlefield Park and Vicinity, Virginia is composed
of GIS data layers and GIS tables in a 10.1 file geodatabase (rich_geology.gdb), a 10.1 ArcMap (.MXD) map document (rich_geology.mxd),
individual 10.1 layer (.LYR) files for each GIS data layer, an ancillary map information (.PDF) document (rich_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 (rich_geology_gis_readme.pdf). Please read the rich_geology_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 O'Meara (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: Virginia
Division of Geology and Mineral Resources. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI
product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (rich_geology_metadata_faq.html; available at
http://nrdata.nps.gov/geology/gri_data/gis/rich/rich_geology_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 1:24,000 and United States National
Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 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 Richmond National
Battlefield Park, as well as Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site.; abstract: The Unpublished Digital Geologic-GIS Map
