Description:
Abstract:
This ESRI Integer GRID is made from vector format State
geologic maps in original scales ranging from 1:500,000 to
1:1,000,000. Geologic rock units from these maps were
reclassified into 22 rock units useful for geothermal
exploration. Then the maps were reprojected into Lambert
Conformable Conic projection, converted to grid with 1 km
cell size, and mosaiced to form this grid.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
1. State geologic maps covering the Great Basin were
assembled (in vector format)
2. Units in all maps were reclassified into 22 rock units
3. Vector maps were converted to Lambert Conformable COnic
projection Vector maps were converted to ESRI integer GRID
format
5. Grid maps were mosaiced to form 1 grid geologic map
6. This map was clipped to the Great Basin outline using outline.shp
