This map is now converted to a Geographic Information System (GIS) database that contains all geologic and base-map information shown on the two printed map sheets and the accompanying explanation sheet. We anticipate this map database will be revised at some unspecified time in the future, likely through the actions of a steering committee managed by the GSA and staffed by scientists from agencies including those responsible for the original map compilation.Regarding the use of this product, as noted by the map's compilers:\u201cThe Geologic Map of North America is an essential educational tool for teaching the geology of North America to university students and for the continuing education of professional geologists in North America and elsewhere. In addition, simplified maps derived from the Geologic Map of North America are useful for enlightening younger students and the general public about the geology of the continent.\u201dWith publication of this database, the preparation of any type of simplified map is made significantly easier. More important perhaps, the database provides a more accessible means to explore the map information and to compare and analyze it in conjunction with other types of information (for example, land use, soils, biology) to better understand the complex interrelations among factors that affect Earth resources, hazards, ecosystems, and climate.", "description": "Report: iii, 7 p.;Database; Metadata; ReadMe", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Soller, David R. drsoller@usgs.gov", "givenName": "David R.", "familyName": "Soller", "email": "drsoller@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0001-6177-8332", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6177-8332"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "National Cooperative Geologic Mapping and Landslide Hazards", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/programs/national-cooperative-geologic-mapping-program"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/florence-bascom-geoscience-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Garrity, Christopher P. cgarrity@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Christopher P.", "familyName": "Garrity", "email": "cgarrity@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-5565-1818", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5565-1818"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "National Cooperative Geologic Mapping and Landslide Hazards", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/programs/national-cooperative-geologic-mapping-program"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Energy Resources Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/geology-energy-and-minerals-science-center"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Central Region Earth Surface Processes", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/cm-water"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "North America", "url": "https://geonames.org/6255149"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-77.6953125, 6.839169626342808], [-77.16796875, 9.102096738726456], [-75.05859375, 13.752724664396988], [-62.57812500000001, 16.804541076383455], [-58.18359375, 44.84029065139799], [-51.85546874999999, 47.15984001304432], [-36.38671875, 65.07213008560697], [-19.51171875, 70.72897946208789], [-10.546875, 81.79875708305217], [-27.0703125, 83.7539108491127], [-42.01171875, 83.65755395878921], [-58.71093750000001, 82.58610635020881], [-73.30078125, 83.31873282163234], [-85.78125, 82.76537263027352], [-102.3046875, 80.26825877186884], [-123.22265625000001, 76.84081641443098], [-129.7265625, 72.0739114882038], [-135.52734375, 70.08056215839737], [-137.63671875, 69.47296854140573], [-155.21484375, 72.01972876525514], [-163.65234374999997, 70.55417853776078], [-167.87109375, 68.13885164925573], [-172.44140625, 63.074865690586634], [-170.5078125, 58.99531118795094], [-165.234375, 57.89149735271034], [-171.03515625, 53.54030739150022], [-169.27734375, 50.62507306341435], [-148.88671874999997, 58.07787626787517], [-137.98828125, 54.87660665410869], [-131.1328125, 50.51342652633956], [-127.44140625, 41.902277040963696], [-123.57421875, 34.88593094075317], [-107.40234375, 16.804541076383455], [-85.95703125, 8.581021215641854], [-79.8046875, 5.965753671065536], [-77.6953125, 6.839169626342808]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 53.8477635063857, "longitude": -89.50321311110002}]}]}
