Creating a Monroe County DEM as a part of STATEMAP

1. Creating a Monroe County DEM as a part of STATEMAP Christina James & Walter Hasenmueller

2. What is STATEMAP? a mapping program Component of the NCGMP Funded by USGS and IGS match money

3. National Cooperative Geological Mapping Program: Determine the Nation’s geologic framework through the systematic development of geologic maps. Develop complementary national databases that provide value-added information to the National Geologic Map Database. Apply cost-effective mapping techniques that assemble and disseminate geologic-map information, and that render such information of greater application and benefit to the public. Develop public awareness of the role and application of geologic-map information to the resolution of national issues of land use management.

7. STATEMAP Objective establish the geologic framework of areas determined to be vital to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States

8. 2003 2001-2 2004-7 IGS STATEMAP:

9. Current Project Area: Bedrock Geology Unconsolidated Bedrock Surface Drift Thickness

10. What is DEM? 2D raster representation of 3D space

11. Our DEM Process: contour data stream data benchmark data Monroe DEM Lake Lemon

12. Why is an accurate DEM important?

13. Our Technique: Bounding surfaces in Monroe County Lithostratigraphic: groups, formations Unconformities: bedrock surface, base of Pennsylvanian Faults: Mt. Carmel Fault

14. Our Technique: Bounding surfaces in Monroe County Lithostratigraphic: groups, formations Unconformities: bedrock surface, base of Pennsylvanian Faults: Mt. Carmel Fault

15. Our Technique: Bounding surfaces in Monroe County Lithostratigraphic: groups, formations Unconformities: bedrock surface, base of Pennsylvanian Faults: Mt. Carmel Fault

16. Our Technique: A-B=0 B A A-B<0 A-B>0 bedrock surface group fault unconformity

17. Sanders Group Borden Group Our Technique: Ravine

18. Computer Geologic Mapping: Advantages Map components match precisely (extent, structure, etc.) User can try different mapping procedures Mapping procedures can be shared Derivative Maps are easily produced This DEM can be shared with other GIS users
