Summary

This digital data release contains previously published geologic data compiled for the North Platte 250k quadrangle, a region in west-central Nebraska largely covered by Quaternary deposits, with exposures of Tertiary Ogallala and Brule formations in the southern portion of the study area. Geologic map data were compiled for the purposes of digitizing the geologic data as part of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program’s efforts to bring together detailed national and continental resolution 2D and 3D information, produced throughout the Survey and by federal and state partners, that is an essential underpinning of the USGS Earth Map and Earth MRI initiatives and will enhance drinking water protection, hazards resilience, [...]

Purpose

This digital dataset was created as part of U.S. Geological Survey efforts to inventory, catalog, and release subsurface geologic data in geospatial form as part of a broad directive to develop 2D and 3D geologic information at detailed, national, and continental scales. The elevation, thickness, and extent of subsurface geologic units are required to define the geologic layering in any digital geologic framework model; these data, derived from previous USGS and other studies, provide a fundamental starting point. The intended uses of this dataset include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization.
