Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a digital geospatial database for the geologic map of the White Rock Canyon quadrangle, Carbon County, Wyoming (Hyden and others, 1968). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in USGS Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ-789. The 35,758-acre map area represents the geology at a publication scale of 1:24,000. References: Hyden, H.J., Houston, R.S., and King, J.S., 1968, Geologic map of the White Rock Canyon quadrangle, Carbon County, Wyoming: U.S. Geological Survey, Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ-789, scale 1:24,000, https://doi.org/10.3133/gq789.

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to provide Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant data for the geologic map of the White Rock Canyon quadrangle, Carbon County, Wyoming. Development and publication of modern GIS data for geologic maps is foundational and high-priority to the USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) to facilitate on-going research and other activities pertaining to critical mineral deposits as well as to other geologic and geophysical mapping efforts, petrologic studies, and mineral resource assessments. These data can also be accessed from the National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) distributed archive of standardized geoscience information for the nation.
