  Description:
    Abstract: This dataset (B120-dataset01) contains GIS data for the map "Geology of the Baraboo Hills, Sauk and Columbia Counties, 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 (BaraHills_B120_D1.gdb) and GeoPackage (BaraHills_B120_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: The Baraboo Hills, located in south central Wisconsin, is an area of unique natural history and cultural interest. The new geologic mapping presented here has resulted in a revision of the stratigraphy of the Precambrian-aged bedrock. The Baraboo Quartzite is now divided into four informal members, and the maximum depositional age for the Baraboo Quartzite is 1714 +/- 17 million years old. These revisions have provided markers to constrain the structural history of the area during this ancient time, which contains evidence for a complicated and prolonged history of sedimentation and deformation.
