A National Park Service Geologic Resources Inventory dataset composed of GIS data layers and tables for Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park and its vicinity in Georgia. The data were completed by the NPS Geologic Resources Division, adapting source maps from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the USGS. It is available in multiple GIS formats, including a file geodatabase, an OGC geopackage, and a KMZ file for Google Earth.

Use Cases

• Visualizing regional geology based on the provided GIS data layers and geologic unit descriptions.
• Conducting spatial analysis of geologic features based on the geodatabase and shapefile formats.
• Integrating park-specific geologic data with other environmental datasets based on the GIS format compatibility.

Strengths

• Provides data in multiple supported GIS formats, including a file geodatabase, OGC geopackage, and KMZ.
• Includes ancillary PDF documents with geologic unit descriptions and metadata.
• Produced by the authoritative National Park Service Geologic Resources Inventory program.

Limitations

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