Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Confidence that a feature exists and confidence that a feature is correctly identified are described in per-feature attributes ExistenceConfidence and IdentityConfidence.
  Logical_Consistency_Report: Topology is consistent with the requirements specified in the GeMS Schema (https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/), including the following rules: Map unit polygons have no gaps or overlaps. All map unit polygon boundaries coincide with lines in the Contacts and Faults layer. Lines have no overlaps, intersections, or dangles (except for concealed faults). Directional lines conform to the "right hand rule". GeMS attributes are complete and there are no schema errors and no content errors, as validated by the GeMS "Validate Database" tool (https://github.com/usgs/GeMS_Tools/).
  Completeness_Report: Dataset and geodatabase created from interpretations of geologists, representing occurences in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. This geodatabase represents data of geologic significance that occurs on the Quaternary Geology of Jefferson County plate.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Estimated accuracy of horizontal location is given on a per-feature basis by attribute LocationConfidenceMeters. Values are expected to be correct within a factor of 2. A LocationConfidenceMeters value of -9 or -9999 indicates that no value has been assigned.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Description: This map is based on field and laboratory work completed between 2010 and 2016. Map contacts were drawn using U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle maps (7.5-minute series, topographic, scale 1:24,000; 10-ft contour interval) and refined using 5-ft-resolution lidar-derived hillshade model (Wisconsin View, 2013), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1:20,000 black-and-white aerial photographs, and USGS National High Altitude Photography program 1:58,000 color-infrared aerial photographs. Sediment cores were collected using the Geoprobe direct push method; they were sampled, photographed, and analyzed at the WGNHS. Additional lithologic information was derived from USDA soil maps (scale 1:15,000), well construction reports, WGNHS geologic logs, grain-size analyses performed using the Malvern Panalytical Mastersizer 2000 particle size analyzer, and F.T. Thwaites field notes (stored at WGNHS). Hydrography derived from USGS Digital Line Graphs (scale 1:100,000).

          Enumerated_Domain_Value: ice-wedge polygon
          Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition: A large, nonsorted polygon characterized by borders of intersecting ice wedges, found only in permafrost regions and formed by contraction of frozen ground. The fissured borders delineating the polygon may be ridges (low-centered polygon in which sediments are being upturned) or shallow troughs (high-centered polygon in which erosion and thawing are prevalent), and are underlain by ice wedges. Diameter: up to 150 m, averaging 10-40 m. In plan, the pattern tends to be three- to six-sided.
