GIS Data for Geologic and Structure Maps of the Kalispell 1 x 2 Degrees Quadrangle, Montana, and Alberta and British Columbia
Description
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides an updated digital geospatial database for the geologic and structure maps of the Kalispell 1 degree x 2 degrees quadrangle, Montana, and Alberta and British Columbia (Harrison and others, 2000). Attribute tables and geospatial features (lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in USGS Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-2267 (Harrison and others, 1992). Minor errors, such as mistakes in line decoration or differences between the digital data and the map image, are corrected in this version.
The database represents the geology for the 16,436 square kilometer, geologically complex Kalispell 1 x 2 degrees Quadrangle, at a publication scale of 1:250,000. The map covers primarily Flathead and Lincoln Counties, but also includes minor parts of Glacier, Lake, and Sanders Counties. These GIS data supersede those in the interpretive report (Harrison and others, 2000).
