Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This digital data set contains geologic formations for the 1:250,000-scale Sherman quadrangle, Texas and Oklahoma. The original data are from the Bureau of Economic Geology publication, "Geologic Atlas of Texas, Sherman sheet", by J.H. McGowen, T.F. Hentz, D.E. Owen, M.K. Pieper, C.A. Shelby, and V.E. Barnes, 1967, revised 1991.

Purpose

This data set was created for use in a regional ground-water model of the Lake Texoma watershed for a project by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory located in Ada, Oklahoma, titled "Development of protocols and decision support tools for assessing watershed system assimilative capacity, in support of risked-based ecosystem management and restoration practices." Although this data set was created for use in a specific project, it may be used to make geologic maps, and determine approximate areas and locations of various geologic units.
