Description:
Abstract:
This dataset represents 1:24,000-scale fold axe(s) and descriptive data and shows the location and type of fold in the Dixie Mountain 7.5-minute quadrangle, Columbia, Multnomah and Washington Counties, Oregon. This file is one in a set of four files which are provided to the user in two formats: MapInfo .tab and ESRI .shp format files. The other files in the set include:  Dixie_Mtn_Bedrock, Dixie_Mtn_Faults, and Dixie_Mtn_Surficial.
Purpose:
Overlay map to go with the bedrock geology map. The purpose of the project is to improve geologic mapping in the Portland urban area in order to better understand earthquake hazards.
Supplemental_Information:
The CD contains digital files with various map coverages created in MapInfo Professional version 9.1 (.tab) and a screen graphic of the map in Adobe PDF format. Digital map coverages are also provided as ArcView version 3.3 Shapefile (.shp) format for ESRI users. Accompanying the screen graphic of the map, is a text file (pdf format) describing the map units along with a discussion of the quadrangle's structural history. This digital data is not field-checked and comes with no guarantees as to its accuracy.

Access_Constraints: None. Restrictions and legal prerequisites for using the data set after use is granted. These include any access constraints applied to assure the protection of privacy or intellectual property, and any special restrictions or limitations on using the data set.
Use_Constraints:
This dataset was tailored fo use at a scale of 1:24,000. Use at larger scale would be inappropriate. There is uncertainty in the position of the fold(s) from the field mapping process, the original map preparation, and the digitizing process. Therefore, DOGAMI makes no warranty as to the currency, completeness, accuracy or utility of any specific data. This disclaimer applies both to individual use of the data and aggregate use with other data. It is strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file associated with these data. 

User should use caution when overlaying other data sets and should not make legally binding decisions from this data. Any person using the information presented here should fully understand the data collection and compilation process before beginning their analysis/use. The burden of determining fitness for use lies with the user. 

To avoid the risk of misinterpretation, invalid results, and erroneous conclusions, the users must consider original map scale, collection methodology, and any other conditions specific to every data element and each dataset as a whole. Potential users are advised to consult with DOGMAI to gain an understanding of the inherent limitations of this data set and its scope of inference. Also, the user must be aware that errors and conditions originating from physical sources involved in developing a dataset may be reflected in the data, and that the digital processing performed during preparation, storage, and transmission of the dataset may have exacerbated such errors and/or introduced additional ones.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Accuracy is quite variable for fold axes--on the order of 100-1000 feet on the ground.  Prior to release of map-on-demand files and metadata, the author was given final digital data sets and paper plots for checking against the source map(s) to verify the linework and attributes. Also, the author was asked to check the metadata and accompanying files for completeness and accuracy.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All lines have one unique label.
Completeness_Report:
Spatial data is presented in the form of lines characterizing folds in the Dixie Mountain quadrangle. All fold lines are fully attributed. This feature class must be used in conjunction with the other feature classes in this dataset for a full representation of the Dixie Mountain bedrock map (O-08-XXmap.pdf).
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Appropriate to final map scale of 1:24,000.

Lineage:
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Linework was captured by heads-up digitizing on the computer screen using a bedrock polygons as an overlay on a DRG of the quadrangle. The digital linework was edited and attributed using MapInfo Pro 9.1.
