The data set includes arcs, polgons, polygon labels, and attributes for geology, faults, inferred faults, and rivers. The data set is compiled from numerous UNESCO geologic maps to assist in the assessment of oil and gas for the World Energy Project. Purpose: This data set provides one of the strategic tools to assist in the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project. This digital geologic base map with selected stratigraphic and structural features is created specifically for the oil and gas assessment of selected provinces of South Asia.

These maps are paper at 1:5,000,000 and 1:10,000,000 scales. The maps are not intended to be used at a scale of larger than 1:5,000,000. This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the International Stratigraphic Guide.

The attributes and contact data are reviewed by U. S. Geological Survey scientists only. Accuracy and source of attribute data are further described in the introduction on map. Logical_Consistency_Report: Based on visual inspection and review with check plots and digital image examination gross errors are eliminated. Test conducted Jan. 1998 Completeness_Report: Some attributes are combined and some polygons generalized because much of the detailed attribute data and polygons are not needed for this assessment project. The geologic coding scheme is based on the World Energy Project standard which incorporates geologic age, and general lithologic type. Some attribute errors may exist because of cartographic difficulties in original map and inconsistancies between source materials. Attributes and contacts are verified via visual editing and review.

The mylar is then scanned and loaded into ESRI's ArcInfo GIS system for cleaning and attributing. Topology is created. Attributes and contacts are verified via visual editing and review.
