  Description:
    Abstract: This dataset (B119-dataset01) contains GIS data for the map "Bedrock Geology of Grant County, Wisconsin [plate 1]" in the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) Level 3 format. It consists of point, line, and polygon feature classes and supporting tables in file geodatabase (GR_Bedrock_B119_D1.gdb) and GeoPackage (GR_Bedrock_B119_D1.gpkg) formats. Also included is an ArcGIS Pro mapx file and geospatial metadata. Please see the accompanying map and report for more information.
    Purpose: Three-dimensional bedrock mapping of Grant County at a scale of 1:100,000 provides new baseline information on the distribution of geologic units. Grant County contains Paleozoic bedrock units ranging in age from Silurian to Cambrian. Gentle folds and small faults deform the Paleozoic sequence and were mapped based on structure contours of the base of the Platteville Formation and Prairie du Chien Group.  In addition to understanding the bedrock stratigraphy and structure, this new mapping in Grant County can be used for various groundwater-related questions such as nitrate contamination, bacteria contamination, and other applied problems.
    Supplemental_Information: BR_Bedrock_B119_D1 is a composite geodataset that conforms to GeMS (Geologic Map Schema)--a standard format for the digital publication of geologic maps", available at http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/. Metadata records associated with each element within the geodataset contain more detailed descriptions of their purposes, constituent entities, and attributes.
