Purpose

These data were collected in order to forward the progress of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) Strategic Plan of 2020 which calls for a “variable-scale, national, integrated 2D and 3D geologic-framework model that enables the seamless construction of geologic maps within user-defined regions of interest across the United States by the year 2030” (USGS Open-File Report 2021-1013*). These digital databases are necessary in support of resource management, critical mineral assessment, water quality modeling, infrastructure development, and geoscience research. This geodatabase was compiled in support of the U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Geoframework Initiative in the Delaware River Basin. The project was funded as part of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program.
