Digital Bedrock Geologic Map of Honey Creek Quadrangle, Tennessee (1:24,000 Scale)

The Digital Bedrock Geologic-GIS Map of the Honey Creek Quadrangle, Tennessee is a geospatial dataset from the National Park Service's Geologic Resources Inventory program. It is composed of GIS data layers and tables, adapted from a 2010 Tennessee Division of Geology source map. The data includes geologic unit descriptions and has a stated horizontal locational accuracy of 12.2 meters based on its 1:24,000 source scale.

Use Cases

• Conduct geologic mapping and analysis based on the provided GIS data layers and geologic unit descriptions.
• Perform spatial analysis of bedrock formations based on the georeferenced geologic contacts and units.
• Integrate geologic base layers into environmental models based on the standardized GRI digital format.
• Validate field observations against a digitized geologic map based on the 1:24,000 scale source data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple industry-standard GIS formats, including an ESRI file geodatabase and an OGC geopackage.
• Includes ancillary documentation with geologic unit descriptions and source map graphics.
• Horizontal locational accuracy is explicitly stated as within 12.2 meters (40 feet) based on US National Map Accuracy Standards.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect the geographic and temporal bias inherent to the 2010 source map.
