Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Maine Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (acad_surficial_geology_metadata.txt or acad_surficial_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual _location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the _location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

This dataset contains the simplified unit data for the currently published Simplified Bedrock Geologic Map of Maine modified from Osberg, P. H., Hussey, A. M., II, and Boone, G. M., Bedrock Geologic Map of Maine, 1985, Maine Geological Survey.

A GIS database of geologic units and structural features in Maine, with lithology, age, data structure, and format written and arranged just like the other states.

This dataset contains statewide surficial geology map units for Maine at 1:500,000 to 1:250,000 scale. The Maine Geological Survey (MGS) developed the dataset which maps surficial geology map units from their Regional Surficial Geology maps published in 1987. The data for this coverage were digitized and coded from 1:250,000 scale mylars by the J.W. Sewall Co., in 1990, for the Maine Low-Level Radioactive Waste Authority. Some coding and edgematching errors exist. For a detailed description of the surficial unit types see "Surficial Geologic Map of Maine, 1985" available at MGS. The data were updated in 2006 to fix some coastal errors.

This dataset contains the generalized Northern Appalachain geology data for the currently published Simplified Bedrock Geologic Map of Maine modified from Osberg, P. H., Hussey, A. M., II, and Boone, G. M., Bedrock Geologic Map of Maine, 1985, Maine Geological Survey.

Surficial geologic maps play and important role in understanding the present sea floor and the processes that shape it. Between 1984 and 1991, over 1,700 bottom sample stations were occupied in the northwestern Gulf of Maine. Although the data were originally collected for a variety of research projects, contracts, and graduate student theses, they were eventually compiled as part of a Maine Geological Survey and University of Maine program to map the inner continental shelf of this region.
