Description:
Abstract:
This database is delivered as 'geology' and 'contacts' shape files and a geology.avl file providing the legend for the 'geology' shape file. The 'geology' shape file displays attributed polygons representing intervals in the stratigraphic sequence identified and mapped at the surface in Elk County. There are 8 mapped intervals in the Elk County database representing alluvium of the Quaternary System, chert gravels of the Tertiary System, increasingly older rock units from the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire groups from the Wolfcampian Series of the Permian System, and finally the Wabaunsee, Shawnee, and Douglas groups of Virgilian Series in the Pennsylvanian System. In the 'contacts' shape file of the database, significant, mappable contacts between stratigraphic units are represented by attributed line features . These contacts include 23 locally significant 'marker beds' within mapped intervals, and all of the lines forming boundaries between adjacent geologic polygons on the map. No surface expression of structural geologic features such as faults or the the axis of a fold, syncline, or anticline are identified in the Elk County database.
Purpose:
This database was developed as part of the large scale (1:24K) surface geology data in the Core Database collection of the Kansas GIS Policy Board. It shows locations of geologic outcrops, geologic structures, and contacts in Elk County, Kansas.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All database products of this project are derived from source maps compiled on 1:24,000-scale topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey. Accuracy will be consistent with the standards met by those maps. Surface location and extent of geologic unit outcrops can generally be determined with greater precision than such features as soil type boundaries, even when obscured from direct observation by soil cover. When exposed at the surface, geologic outcrops can be located with an accuracy consistent with the standards met by the USGS topographic maps.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Datasets delivered to the Data Access and Support Center are quality assurance tested for major documentation and topological errors using macros. The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following: Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used through out the data? Are all of the database's values and fields legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution.
Completeness_Report:
Mapping completed at time of publication. Alterations in approved nomenclature may require adjustments to rock unit labels in future.

Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:

Fees: Under the Kansas Public Records Law, DASC will attempt only to recover the costs related to the processing and distribution of core database requests. The following is a description of our Basic and Supplemental Conversion Services, as well as costs associated with the distribution of digital data:

Basic Conversion Services--DASC will provide coversion services to all Federal/State/municipal tax-supported agencies/entities for the cost of media and shipping and handling. Basic conversion services shall include the exportation of the Core Database in their native projection and tiling scheme into DASC supported spatial data exchange formats and technical support for the loading and importation of the data. Basic conversion services are provided to other than tax-supported organizations on a fee-for-service basis.

Supplemental Conversion Services--DASC will provide supplemental conversion services to all organizations on a fee-for-service basis. Secondary services shall include the alteration of a Core Database's native projection, tiling scheme, or topological structure. Supplemental services also includes custom map production.

Where applicable, recoverable cost include:
1. Labor to process the request
2. Computer processing time to extract/convert database
3. Magnetic media to distribute the data
4. Shipping and handling charges
5. Tax

Below are the fees associated with each of the recoverable items:
1. Labor: $35.00/Hour
2. Central Processing Unit (CPU) computer time: $.14/Minute
3. Media:
3.5 inch HD floppy $.90
DC 2120 Mini data cartridge tape $22.00
8mm-112m Data cartridge tape $19.00
4mm-120m Data cartridge tape $20.00
Compact Disks $15.00
Network Transfer No Charge
4. Shipping and Handling: Varies
5. Tax (State of Kansas): 6.90%
