Summary

This digital data release contains geospatial data for the geologic map of the O’Neill 1 degree by 2 degree geologic map in Nebraska, originally published in 2008 by R.E. Diffendal and others. The original map consists of a 1:250,000 scale map plate with a “stack unit” structure showing multiple overlying units, as well as several roughly 1:750,000 scale maps in an accompanying pamphlet showing bedrock geology and structure contours. To capture as much of this content as possible in a geodatabase, three “layers” are included in this database: 1) Overlay polygons showing Quaternary loess deposits (Qes) where they overlay older Quaternary units; 2) a layer (consisting of line and polygon feature classes) showing Quaternary and bedrock [...]

Purpose

This digital dataset was created as part of U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program’s efforts to inventory, catalog, and release structural and geologic data in geospatial form as part of a broad directive to develop 2D and 3D geologic information at detailed, national, and continental scales. This 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.
