-------- Original Message -------- Subject: NPS GRE GIS Data and Structure Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2007 08:08:20 -0500 From: Doug Behm <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> From another list: The National Park Service (NPS) Geologic Resources Evaluation program (GRE) has digital geologic-GIS data available (on-line) at the NPS Data Store ( _http://science.nature.nps.gov/nrdata/_). Geologic-GIS data for Booker T. Washington National Monument, Virginia (BOWA), as well as Kings Mountain National Military Park, South Carolina (KIMO) are recently completed products (of surface geology) that are in coverage, shapefile AND geodatabase format. At the NPS data Store, select "on-line data", either park from the park list, and "geology" as the category. BOWA has one digital geologic-GIS maps, whereas KIMO has four digital geologic-GIS maps (park compiled and dedicated map, as well as component quadrangle maps). All digital geologic-GIS maps are in WinZIP files (one per map per GIS format). Geologic-GIS data for both "parks", in all three GIS formats, adhere to the NPS GRE Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model. The GRE data model is available (on-line) at _http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm_ FGDC (compliant) metadata is provided for all data layers and ancillary GIS tables, as well as the digital geologic-GIS maps themselves. ====================================================== Douglas D.
