Description:
Abstract:
This data set is the digital geologic layer for map of South Asia.
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.

Polygons and line work for the geology (stratigraphy,
faults, and geographic features are generalized from scanned images of
UNESCO geologic maps of the world. 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.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The data are derived and generalized from the Geological
World Atlas, UNESCO, sheet 11, scale: 1:10,000,000 (Choubert, G.
and Faure-Muret, A., 1976) and are no more accurate than that map.
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.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Geologic contacts, faults, and rivers are traced from a paper
1:10,000,000 scale map on to mylar. 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. Some attributes are combined and some
polygons generalized.
