Publisher:	U.S. Geological Survey	
Title:		Preliminary Geologic Map of the Beverly Hills 7.5' Quadrangle, Southern California: A Digital Database
Author:		R.F. Yerkes and S.E. Graham
Original NGMDB identifier: 22988


Purpose: This file set is intended to make outdated Arc/INFO e00 files available as open-format shapefiles. No modification to files has been made. Projection was not changed. 

Process: e00 files were imported to coverage, then converted to shapefile using the ArcMap commands “Import from e00 (conversion)” and “Feature Class to Shapefile” respectively. Related tables were preserved by opening in ArcMap and exporting to txt.   

E00 files convert to:
	bh-geol.e00 (Faults, contacts and geologic units) =
		bh_geol_arc.shp
		bh_geol_poly.shp
	bh-strc.e00 (Attitudes and fold axes) =
		bh_strc_point.shp
		bh_strc_arc.shp
		bh_strc.lut.txt
		bh_strc.lut2x.txt
	bh-pts.e00 (Exploratory oil wells and fossil localities) =
		bh_pts_point.shp
