Geologic Map of the Mancos Quadrangle, Colorado at 1:24,000 Scale

A National Park Service digital geologic-GIS map for the Mancos Quadrangle in Colorado, adapted from a 1999 source map. The dataset includes GIS data layers, tables, and ancillary documents like unit descriptions and metadata. Data locational accuracy is specified to be within 12.2 meters horizontally, based on the source map scale of 1:24,000.

Use Cases

• Conduct geological resource inventory and evaluation based on the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program framework.
• Perform spatial analysis of geologic units and contacts using the provided GIS data layers.
• Map subsurface geology and stratigraphy for the Mancos Quadrangle region based on the detailed unit descriptions.
• Integrate geologic data with other environmental datasets for landscape modeling.

Strengths

• Includes detailed ancillary documents with geologic unit descriptions and metadata.
• Provides data in multiple GIS formats, including a file geodatabase, geopackage, and shapefile upon request.
• Specifies a horizontal locational accuracy of 12.2 meters based on the 1:24,000 source map scale.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
