Earth Data Analysis Center 19940606 n/a geo0003 First vector digital data Albuquerque, NM, USA Earth Data Analysis Center none none none geo0003 This dataset contains all Known Mineral Deposit Areas in the state of New Mexico. It is in a vector digital structure digitized from a 1:500,000 scale map of the state of New Mexico. The source software used was ARC/INFO 5.0 and the conversion software was ARC/INFO 7.0.3. For questions regarding data and full documentation contact: Bureau of Mines, Intermountain Field Operations Center, PO Box 25086, Bldg 20, Federal Center, Denver, CO, 80225. File siz is 0.7 Mb, compressed. This dataset was created to digitially represent the Known Mineral Deposits for the state of New Mexico. These data are typically used as base data for other coverages, and should be used at scales of 1:500,000 and smaller. The data are intended for use as a general reference to the extent and boundaries of Known Mineral Deposits in New Mexico. Data completeness reflect the content of the source graphic. Only the Known Mineral Deposit Areas were extracted from the source graphic. The data contains all lines and polygons representing the New Mexico Known Mineral Deposit Areas and the New Mexico state boundary. These data meets National Accuracy Standards for 1:500,000 scale maps. en 19940606n/a publication date Complete As needed -109.044762 -102.994202 36.969204 31.221903 -109.044762-102.99420231.22190336.969204 None Mineral Deposit Areas None New Mexico None Resource Geographic Information System (RGIS) program assumes no liability for misuse of the data.

This graphic file was converted to ARC/INFO format by Greb Green and GlenJones and released as the Geologic Map of New Mexico in ARC/INFO format in 1997. This shapefile only shows the volcanic vents for New Mexico, that are used on the Digital Geologic Map for New Mexico. This dataset was developed to provide geologic map GIS database of New Mexico for use in future spatial analysis by a variety of users. This database is not meant to be used or displayed at any scale other than 1:500,000. This data base consists of three major Arc/Info GIS datasets: one the geologic map with faults, formations and volcanic vents, two the index and correlation chart and three the sources of geologic data. en 1997 publication date Complete As needed -109.043091 -103.170486 36.940117 31.798595 -109.043091-103.17048631.79859536.940117 none geology Volcanic Vents National Geologic Map Database Catalog themes, augmented 1100 - Geology 1101 - General ISO 19115 Topic Categories geoscientificInformation none USA New Mexico Augmented FIPS 10-4 and FIPS 6-4, version 1.0 US35 = New Mexico none This database is not meant to be used or displayed at any scale other than 1:500,000.

Orin Anderson and Glen Jones created a digital New Mexico graphic in 1994. Greg Green and Glen Jones converted this to ARC/INFO in 1997. This geologic map was prepared as part of a study of digital methods and techniques as applied to complex geologic maps. The geologic map was digitized in GSMAP at Socorro, New Mexico by Orin Anderson and Glen Jones and published as the Geologic Map of New Mexico 1:500,000 (Anderson and Jones, 1994) in GSMAP format. The vector line work and polygon point labels were converted to ARC/INFO format on a DOS based PC with GSMARC (Green and Selner,1988). These data were transferred to a Data General UNIX system and loaded into ARC/INFO. Each vector and polygon was given attributes derived from the original 1994 GSMAP geologic map. Both digital versions are at 1:500,000 scale using the Lambert Conformal Conic map projection parameters of the State base map. 1994 - 1997 Gregory N.
