SARA Bedrock Geology: Digital Map of Saratoga National Historical Park

The Digital Bedrock Geologic-GIS Map of Saratoga National Historical Park and Vicinity, New York is composed of GIS data layers and tables. It was produced by the National Park Service Geologic Resources Inventory program, adapted from a geological map by De Simone (2015). The dataset is available in multiple GIS formats including a file geodatabase, OGC geopackage, and KMZ/KML.

Use Cases

• Visualize bedrock geology layers in Google Earth based on KMZ/KML support.
• Perform spatial analysis of geologic units using GIS data layers.
• Reference geologic unit descriptions and ancillary map information from the PDF documentation.

Strengths

• Available in multiple GIS formats including a 10.1 file geodatabase, OGC geopackage, and KMZ/KML.
• Includes supporting GIS files for ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, and QGIS.
• Contains ancillary PDF documents with geologic unit descriptions and metadata.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The KMZ/KML format is limited in data layers presented and access to ancillary table information.
