Digital Geologic-GIS Map of the Rugby Quadrangle, Tennessee at 1:24,000 Scale

A digital geologic-GIS map of the Rugby Quadrangle in Tennessee, adapted from a 2011 Tennessee Division of Geology source map. The dataset is composed of GIS data layers and tables available in multiple formats, including a file geodatabase and geopackage, and was completed as part of the National Park Service's Geologic Resources Inventory program. The data includes ancillary documents with unit descriptions and metadata.

Use Cases

• Conducting geologic analysis based on the provided geologic unit descriptions and contacts.
• Creating thematic maps for resource management using the GIS data layers.
• Integrating geologic data into regional models based on the 1:24,000 source map scale.
• Studying spatial relationships of geologic features using the provided geodatabase or geopackage formats.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple GIS formats, including ESRI geodatabase and OGC geopackage.
• Includes ancillary PDF documents with geologic unit descriptions and metadata.
• Horizontal locational accuracy is specified as within 12.2 meters based on US National Map Accuracy Standards.

Limitations

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