    Description: 
      Abstract: 
      This is a digital version of Charles E. Kirschner's map titled Map showing 
      sedimentary basins of onshore and continental shelf areas, Alaska, USGS 
      Miscellaneous Investigations Series (I-1873), 1988. This coverage depicts 
      geologic polygon features of Kirschner's map, including sedimentary 
      basins, bedrock geology, basement rocks, gravity anomalies, and oil and 
      gas fields. This coverage does not include glaciers or bathymetric data. 
      The scale of the source map limits the spatial resolution (scale) of the 
      database to 1:2,500,000 or smaller. 
      Purpose: 
      This database depicts the distribution of rock types, lithologic contacts, 
      and gravity anomalies in the state of Alaska as shown on C. E. Kirschner's 
      Map showing sedimentary basins of onshore and continental shelf areas, 
      Alaska (1988). Boundaries of polygons are not assigned attributes and are 
      only indicators of the extent of rock distribution. This coverage is 
      intended to serve as a base map and add geologic context to reported 
      indications of petroleum in the Central Alaska province, as discussed in 
      the accompanying report. The regional (1:2,500,000) scale of this coverage 
      does not provide sufficient detail for site development purposes. 
      Supplemental_Information: 
      This database was digitized from previously published data and was 
      compiled in ArcInfo, a commercial Geographic Information System 
      (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California), version 
      8.2.0. The files are coverage (ArcInfo vector data) format. Coverages are 
      stored in uncompressed ARC export format (ArcInfo version 8.2.0). ArcInfo 
      export files (files with .e00 extensions) can be converted into ArcInfo 
      coverages in ArcInfo and can be read by some other Geographic Information 
      Systems, such as MapInfo and ESRI's ArcView (limited versions of this 
      software are available for free from ESRI's web site: 
      <http://www.esri.com>).

    Access_Constraints: none 
    Use_Constraints: 
    Uses of this digital coverage should not violate the spatial resolution of 
    the data. Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint 
    imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map 
    scale are also present in the digital data. The fact that this database was 
    edited for a scale of 1:2,500,000 means that higher resolution information 
    is not present in the dataset. Plotting at scales larger than 1:2,500,000 
    will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale 
    irregularities below the intended resolution of the database

        Process_Description: 
        This database was digitized from previously published data. The geologic 
        map information was digitized from stable originals of Kirschner's 
        sedimentary basins map at a scale of 1:2,500,000. The author's paper map 
        was scanned on a large-scale, flatbed, color scanner with a resolution 
        of 600 dots per inch. The scanned image was georeferenced interactively 
        to a USGS coverage of the state of Alaska using ArcInfo georeferencing 
        software and rectified with a first order polynomial transformation. All 
        polygon features were digitized interactively by hand using ArcInfo.
