Digital database of the previously published bedrock geologic map showing thickness of overlying Quaternary deposits, Grand Island quadrangle, Nebraska and Kansas

This digital data release contains geospatial data for the 1:250,000 scale geologic map of the Grand Island 1 degree by 2 degree quadrangle, Nebraska, originally published by Dreeszen and others (1973). The database includes line and polygon features depicting the extent of the Miocene Ogallala Formation and underlying Cretaceous rocks. The original map also included shaded patches indicating outcrop areas, and contour lines depicting the thickness of Quaternary deposits; these are not included in this database. The spatial data are accompanied by non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information, a description of geologic map units, a glossary of terms, and a Data Dictionary that duplicates the Entity and Attribute information contained in the metadata file.
