Summary

This dataset is intended to provide seamless, integrated geologic mapping of the U.S. Intermountain West region as a contribution to The National Geologic Map supported by the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Surficial and bedrock geology are included in this data release as independent datasets at a variable resolution from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000 scale. No original interpretations are presented in this dataset; rather, all interpretive data are assimilated from referenceable publications. Derivative polygon features created for this dataset demonstrate the distribution of SIGMa-GeMS Geologic Provinces derived from the distribution of map units. Initial contributions to this data release are [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to provide seamless, integrated geologic map data at an intermediate scale (1:50,000 to 1:250,000 scale) for the U.S. Intermountain West. This data set is applicable to answering fundamental Earth Science questions for which geologic mapping is an essential foundational source of data. This dataset addresses strategic goals of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (Brock and others, 2021). Brock, J., Berry, K., Faulds, J., Berg, R., House, K., Marketti, M., McPhee, D., Schmidt, K., Schmitt, J., Soller, D.R., Spears, D., Thompson, R.A., Thorleifson, H., and Walsh,G.J., 2021, Renewing the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program as the Nation’s authoritative source for modern geologic knowledge: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2021–1013, 10 p., https://doi.org/ 10.3133/ ofr20211013.
