Digital Bedrock Geologic Map of the Fox Creek Quadrangle, Tennessee

The Digital Bedrock Geologic-GIS Map of the Fox Creek Quadrangle, Tennessee is a National Park Service Geologic Resources Inventory product composed of GIS data layers and tables. It is adapted from a 2015 University of Tennessee 7.5-minute series map by Scruggs et al. The dataset includes geologic unit descriptions, cross-sections, and attitude observations in multiple GIS formats.

Use Cases

• Map bedrock geology and structural features based on the described GIS layers for geologic units, contacts, and faults.
• Conduct spatial analysis of geologic formations based on the provided geodatabase and geopackage formats.
• Create geologic cross-sections based on the included cross-section line data.
• Study geologic attitudes and observation localities based on the described point data layers.

Strengths

• Includes ancillary documentation with geologic unit descriptions and map graphics.
• Available in multiple standard GIS formats, including ESRI geodatabase and OGC geopackage.
• Based on a source map with a scale of 1:24,000.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Features have a stated horizontal locational accuracy of within 12.2 meters (40 feet).
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
