B10, 74 p., https://doi.org//10.3133/tm11B10. The purpose of this data release is to provide Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant data for the reconnaissance geologic map of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho County, Idaho, and Missoula and Ravalli counties, Montana. Development and publication of modern GIS data for geologic maps is foundational and high priority to the USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) to facilitate on-going research and other activities pertaining to critical mineral deposits as well as to other geologic and geophysical mapping efforts, petrologic studies, and mineral resource assessments. SelwayBitterroot_MF-1495B.gdb is a composite geodataset that conforms to "GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) - A standard format for the digital publication of geologic maps," available at http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/. A shapefile version of the dataset is also available. It consists of shapefiles, DBF files, and delimited text files and retains all information in the native geodatabase, but some programming will likely be necessary to assemble these components into usable formats. The Esri file geodatabase (SelwayBitterroot_MF-1495B.gdb) contains the following elements: --GeologicMap: feature dataset (subdirectory) containing the following feature classes (GIS layers): ----CartographicLines: line layer (feature class) representing a cross section line. ----ContactsAndFaults: line layer representing locations of contacts and faults. ----GeologicLines: line layer representing the locations of dikes. ----MapUnitPoints: point layer representing the location where map units are identified but are not fully enclosed. ----MapUnitPolys: polygon layer representing the distribution of geologic map units. ----OrientationPoints: point layer representing the location of measured planar features. --DataSources: table that lists sources and (or) references used to derive spatial features (points, lines, and polygons) and attribute information. --DescriptionOfMapUnits: table of map unit descriptions derived from the collar of the geologic map or geologic map pamphlet. The hierarchical order of map units is coded in the HierarchyKey field. --GeoMaterialDict: table that defines and lists lithology terms in hierarchical order used in the GeoMaterial field of the DescriptionOfMapUnits table. The standardized vocabulary is available in Appendix 1 of the GeMS documentation. --Glossary: table that defines and lists sources of terms used in the database.

Lakewood CO 80225 US 303-236-1921 scgonzalez@usgs.gov Work was accomplished by the U.S. Geological Survey Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) with support from the Mineral Resources Program (MRP) and the FEDMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 22H2 (Build 19045.4529); Esri ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 Unique values in attribute fields were checked through frequency analyses. The unique values in each attribute field were reviewed and checked for spelling, consistency of terms, accuracy, adherence to established vocabularies, and completeness. Text terms and values entered by USGS authors were reviewed and verified. Confidence that a feature exists and confidence that a feature is correctly identified are described in per-feature attributes ExistenceConfidence and IdentityConfidence. GIS layer and attribute information were digitized and extracted directly into the GeMS database structure. Attribute values were modified for consistency with GeMS terminology. Topology tests were conducted on polygon and line feature classes to ensure spatial integrity of the data. Point, line, and polygon features were digitized from the MF-1495-B map and quality assured for completeness. Textual information from the original printed map 'Description of Map Units' section was transcribed into the DescriptionOfMapUnits table. Horizontal accuracy of point, line, and polygon features is dependent on the accuracy of the 1:125,000 scale source map. Map publication techniques employed in 1983 resulted in variable line quality and accuracy. Estimated accuracy of horizontal location, provided on a per-feature basis in the attribute field LocationConfidenceMeters in GeMS, was assigned a value of -9 indicating unknown. Vertical accuracy testing does not apply to this dataset. Margo I.

The data were captured by heads-up digitizing of the georeferenced version (compressed GeoTiff) of the Toth (1983) printed geologic map obtained from the National Geologic Map Database and saved as an Esri file geodatabase in GeMS format. Toth, 1983 2024 Attributes were populated to conform to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) standard for geologic map publications (USGS NCGMP, 2020). Definitions of these values are derived from the printed map (Toth, 1983), GeMS (USGS NCGMP, 2020), and the Glossary of Geology (Neuendorf and others, 2011). The original printed map is black and white, therefore map unit colors were chosen using previously published adjacent geologic maps and the publication Techniques and Methods 11-B1 (USGS WRD, 2005). Map unit colors are represented as RGB values in the AreaFillRGB field of the DescriptionOfMapUnits table. Map unit colors are also provided in the custom Esri Style file. Geologic map symbolization was also matched to the original publication as best possible using the FGDC Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic Map Symbolization (FGDC, 2006). These values are provided in the Symbol attribute fields in the included Esri Style file. Topology tests were conducted on polygon and line feature classes to ensure spatial integrity of the data. The geodatabase was confirmed to be GeMS compliant using validation tools.

USGS NCGMP, 2020 approximate wilderness boundary A line representing the approximate boundary of a wilderness area. Toth, 1983 contact A plane or irregular surface between two types or ages of rock. Neuendorf and others, 2011 cross section A line representing a plane from which vertical geologic sections are drawn at right angles to the longer axis of a geologic feature in the cross section diagrams of the map (DAS01). Neuendorf and others, 2011 dike A tabular igneous intrusion that cuts across the bedding or foliation of the country rock. Neuendorf and others, 2011 fault A discrete surface or zone of discrete surfaces separating two rock masses across which one mass has slid past the other. Relative motion unknown. Faults are typically straight and sharp and have slickensided surfaces coated with quartz, magnetite, chlorite, tourmaline, and (or) epidote. Dip-slip movements dominate over strike-slip and diagonal-slip movements. Offsets average from 12 to 30 ft but are as much as 3,000 ft in the Moose Creek area and probable even greater along the boundary fault along the southeast part of the wilderness. Toth, 1983 | Neuendorf and others, 2011 fault, inclined The maximum angle that a structural surface, e.g. bedding or a fault plane, makes with the horizontal; measured perpendicular to the strike of the structure and in the vertical plane. Neuendorf and others, 2011 fault, normal A fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall. The angle of the fault is usually 45-90 degrees, and in most cases close to 60 degrees. Neuendorf and others, 2011 fault, oblique-slip, left-lateral A fault on which the net slip has dip slip and strike slip components and the side opposite the observer has been displaced to the left. Neuendorf and others, 2011 fault, oblique-slip, right-lateral A fault on which the net slip has dip slip and strike slip components and the side opposite the observer has been displaced to the right. Neuendorf and others, 2011 fault, thrust A fault with a dip of 45 degrees or less over much of its extent, on which the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall. Fault planes are undulatory and are usually poorly exposed. Slickensides indicate right-lateral diagonal slip movement. Toth, 1983 | Neuendorf and others, 2011 foliation A general term for a planar arrangement of textural or structural features in any type of rock, esp. the locally planar fabric in a rock defined by a fissility, a preferred orientation of crystal planes in mineral grains, a preferred orientation of inequant grain shapes, or from compositional banding. In igneous rocks, planar parallelism of flaky or tabular minerals and mineral aggregates, slabby xenoliths, or flattened vesicles as well as compositional layering. In metamorphic rocks, planar parallelism of flaky minerals and compositional layering. Strike and dip of primary igneous flow foliation and secondary metamorphic foliation. Toth, 1983 | Neuendorf and others, 2011 foliation, mylonitic A foliation with mylonitic structure produced by intense microbrecciation and shearing which gives the appearance of a flow structure. Neuendorf and others, 2011 foliation, vertical Foliation that has tilted vertical (90 degrees). Neuendorf and others, 2011 map boundary A line representing the boundary of the mapping area. Toth, 1983 scratch boundary Used where contacts were omitted and not mapped.
