  83.   Use_Constraints: Uses of this digital topographic map should not violate the spatial resolution of the data.  Although the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the digital data.  The fact that this database was edited for a scale of 1:24,000 means that higher resolution information is not present in the dataset.  Plotting at scales larger than 1:24,000 will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the database.  Similarly, where this database is used in combination with other data of higher resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution of these data.  Acknowlegdement of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

  104.   Data_Set_Credit: The database was compiled mainly in 1996-2001 from original geologic mapping by Christina A. Neal and John P. Lockwood (Neal and Lockwood, 2003).  Dillon R. Dutton, David W. Ramsey, Peggy E. Bruggman, Tracey J. Felger, Ellen Lougee, Sandy Margriter, Patrick Showalter and John P. Lockwood provided the GIS-expertise to bring the database and metadata to completion.

  108.     Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
  109.       Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy of the topography is limited by the 1:24,000 source map materials and the precision of the scanning and registration of these materials.
  110.     Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
  111.       Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: No vertical positional data are contained in this raster dataset.
