GIS Geologic Map Finalization: overview of layers that should
be getting close to final June 2012, Planetary Mappers Meeting
Slide 2
Original ArcMap Geologic GIS Project -generated by USGS for
mapper GeoDatabase older projects may have a different extension
Example used: Tooting Crater, Mars, 1:200k, Peter J. Mouginis-Mark,
University of HawaiiTooting Crater Submitted for publication
Slide 3
Layers you should have GIS Raster Data Includes the
USGS-created (or other) base map Include the MOLA DEM and shaded
relief All high-resolution datasets used while mapping should be
excluded, down sampled, or included as figures, footprint files, or
supplemental data
Slide 4
Layers you should have GIS vector features (near final)
Contacts/Linear Features (lines) Contacts should be snapped to
other contacts Attributes defined in the table and displayed with
unique symbology Symbology closely follow the FGDC Cartographic
Standards Structural Layers (lines) Channels, crest of crater rim
Symbology also follows FGDC Location or Point Features Uniquely
attributed and symbolized Labeled if necessary Sized so they can be
seen at the printable map scale
Slide 5
Layers you should have GIS vector features (near final)
Geologic Units building polygons is an iterative process. As your
map progresses, it is a good idea to have been testing unit
(polygon) creation several times.
Slide 6
Layers you should have Contacts/Linear Features (lines)
Slide 7
Layers you should have Structural Layers (lines)
Slide 8
Layers you should have Location or Point Features, e.g.
secondary craters
Slide 9
Layers you should have Overlay polygons, e.g. crater
clusters
Slide 10
Layers you should have Overlay polygons, e.g. ejecta
facies
Slide 11
Layers you should have Overlay polygons, e.g. NoData
