Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (faco_geology.mapx) and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (faco_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) A GIS readme file (fone_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (fone_frhi_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (faco_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the fone_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/.

TwitterThe 1980 Pennsylvania state geologic map (Berg and others, 1980) shows the areal distribution of 194 bedrock geologic units. The units range in geologic age from Quaternary to Precambrian and encompass a wide variety of lithologies. The map was compiled and published in a transverse mercator projection at 1:250,000 scale. The two digital datasets include 195 geologic units, which, for the most part, closely correspond to those shown on the 1980 map. The datasets were prepared using ArcInfo software and are provided in a geographic coordinate system (units in decimal degrees). Although it is possible to portray digital data at any scale, the geologic formational contacts, faults, and dikes represented in these datasets are not intended to be used at any scale finer than 1:250,000.

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides a digital geospatial database for the bedrock geologic map of the Beans Cove and Hyndman quadrangles and part of the Fairhope quadrangle (de Witt, 1974). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines, and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in the Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-801 with no adjustments made to any of the map data. The Description of Map Units (DMU) summarizes descriptions of the same lithostratigraphic units from adjacent maps published by the same author in the area and is expanded from the minimal text published on the original map plate. Some revisions to stratigraphic nomenclature were made to conform with modern usage.

TwitterThe Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and the PA Geologic Survey has 101 sites in the PNHP database. Ultimately, many of the 514 features described in Outstanding Scenic Geological Features of Pennsylvania (Environmental Geology Report 7, Parts 1 and 2) will be included in the PNHP list. Both of the scenic feature volumes are out of print, but they may be borrowed from or viewed in the Survey library or possibly one of our repository libraries.Two of the 101 sites are now considered "extinct." The Port Kennedy Bone Cave in Montgomery County was filled in many years ago, and the Swatara Gap fossil site was covered over in the process of bridge construction.Below are a few sites that are described in more detail:Hyner View State Park, Clinton CountyBoiling Springs, Cumberland CountyWhite Rocks, Cumberland CountyCucumber Falls, Ohiopyle State Park, Fayette CountyOhiopyle Falls, Ohiopyle State Park, Fayette CountyArchbald Pothole, Lackawanna CountyWhaleback, Northumberland CountyDinosaur Rock, Lebanon CountyIn addition, visit specific physiographic sections at our Landforms page for further information on scenic and heritage geologic features in Pennsylvania.For information regarding geologic features and PNHP, contact Jim Shaulis of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey at 717–702–2037.
