The purpose of the data release is to produce a Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant version for the geologic terranes of the Hailey 1 x 2 degrees quadrangle and the western part of the Idaho Falls 1 x 2 degrees quadrangle, south-central Idaho, that updates the geospatial data published as part of USGS Bulletin 2064-A (Worl and Johnson, 1995). Conversion and publication of the geologic map into modern GIS format (e.g. ArcInfo coverages converted to ArcGIS geodatabases) is considered to be foundational and high-priority by the Mineral Resources Program to facilitate ongoing research and other activities by the USGS Mineral Resources Program as it pertains to critical mineral deposits as well as to other geologic mapping, petrologic studies, and mineral resource assessments. The data reside in the National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) distributed archive of standardized geoscience information for the nation.
