Abstract:
This geologic map is part of a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Kaibab National Forest Service to provide geologic information for the Paradine Plains Cactus (Pediocactus pardinei B,W. Benson) Conservation Assessment and Strategy conducted by the Kaibab National Forest, Williams, Arizona. The map area includes part of House Rock Valley and part of the Kaibab Plateau, sub- physiographic provinces of the Colorado Plateau. This part of the Colorado Plateau was not previously mapped in adequate geologic detail. This map completes one of several remaining areas where uniform quality geologic mapping was needed. The geologic information in this report may be useful to land management, range management, and flood control programs for all federal and state agencies, and private affairs. This digital map database is compiled from unpublished data and new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of surficial and bedrock geology in the mapped area. Together with the accompanying pamphlet, it provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area. The database delineate map units thatare identified by age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey. The scale of the source maps limits the spatial resolution of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller. This report consists of a set of geologic map database files (ARC/ INFO coverages) and supporting text and plot files. In addition, the report includes two sets of plot files (Post Script and PDF format) that will generate map sheets and pamphlets similar to a traditional USGS Miscellaneous Field Studies Report. These files are described in the explanatory pamphlets (canegeo.doc, canegeo. pdf, or canegeo.txt). The base layer used in the preparation of the geologic map plot files was derived from a Digital Raster Graphic of a standard USGS 7.5' quadrangle. This raster image was converted to Grid format in ARC/INFO, trimmed and rotated, then converted to a GeoTIFF image. The resultant TIFF image was combined with geologic data to produce the final map layout in Illustrator 8.0.

Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints:
Uses of this digital geologic map should not violate the spatial resolution of the map area (1:24,000) even though the digital data form removes the constraint of scale on a paper map. The accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in digital format. At a scale larger than 1:24,000, higher resolution data is not available and will not yield greater real detail.

This illustration is a .gif non-navigable image of the USGS geologic-map plot of the Cane quadrangle. A full-size, navigable map graphic can be plotted from the PostScript file (canemap.eps). Note: the full-size plot is approximately 29 x 30 inches, requires a large-format plotter, and is best reproduced at 600 (or greater) dpi.
