This Data Release contains geospatially-enabled geological data to accompany the Geologic Map of the Central Beaverhead Mountains, Lemhi County, Idaho, and Beaverhead County, Montana. This map portrays detailed geology of the central Beaverhead Mountains, printable at 1:50,000 scale. These data were collected between 1997 and 2017, and synthesized to provide significant new stratigraphic and structural data and interpretations. Generalized basin geology compiled from sources on both sides of the range is combined with newly mapped bedrock geology to better integrate geologic development of the map area.

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release updates the digital geospatial database for the southern portion of the geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1 degree x 2 degrees quadrangle, northwestern Montana (Harrison and others, 1998). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines, and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020). The 899,246-acre map area represents the geology at a publication scale of 1:250,000. Minor errors, such as mistakes in line decoration or differences between the digital data and the map image, are corrected, and missing orientation points are included in this version. The map covers primarily Flathead, Glacier, Pondera, and Teton Counties, but also includes minor parts of Lake County.

The geologic and structure map of Choteau 1 x 2 degree quadrangle (Mudge and others, 1982) was originally converted to a digital format by Jeff Silkwood (U.S. Forest Service and completed by the U.S. Geological Survey staff and contractor at the Spokane Field Office (WA) in 2000 for input into a geographic information system (GIS). The resulting digital geologic map (GIS) database can be queried in many ways to produce a variey of geologic maps. Digital base map data files (topography, roads, towns, rivers and lakes, etc.) are not included: they may be obtained from a variety of commercial and government sources. This database is not meant to be used or displayed at any scale larger than 1:250,000 (e.g. 1:100,000 or 1:24,000. The digital geologic map graphics and plot files (chot250k.gra/.hp/.eps and chot-map.pdf) that are provided in the digital package are representations of the digital database. They are not designed to be cartographic products.

Feature class of Montana State Boundary was created to be coincident with the Montana County Boundaries, GCDB, and Cadastral Parcel Boundaries. Where the boundary is coincident with public land survey section lines, they were copied from the BLM's Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB). If boundary was not coincident with GCDB lines, they were digitized on screen from 1:24,000 scale Geological Survey Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs). The state boundary will change as the GCDB / Montana CadNSDI is adjusted by the BLM / Montana State Library and those data are incorporated with the Montana Spatial Data Infrastructure Administrative Boundaries & Cadastral datasets.

The data release for geologic maps of Ravalli Group and other Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup strata in northern Idaho and northwestern Montana is a digital, Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant version of maps published in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 2001-438 (Boleneus and others, 2001). The new digital data include attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines, and polygons) in the format that meets GeMS requirements. This data release presents the geologic maps as shown on the plates and captured in geospatial data for the published maps. The database represents the geology for the 2.7 million acre, geologically complex study area in eleven plates at a publication scale of 1:48,000, and two plates at a publication scale of 1:12,000. The maps cover primarily Sanders, Shoshone, Kootenai, and Lincoln Counties, but also include minor parts of Benewah and Bonner Counties. Geologic mapping was undertaken between 1979 and 1984 by ASARCO Inc. as part of their program to explore for sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits in northern Idaho and western Montana. Geologic mapping was primarily focused on formations of the Ravalli Group, which resulted in large unmapped areas within the map boundary. In 2001 maps were scanned, georeferenced, and published by USGS (Boleneus and others, 2001).

The Strawberry Butte quadrangle, scale 1:24,000, is a legacy map of the U.S. Geological Survey, made as part of the Montana Investigations Project to provide information on the stratigraphy, structure, and geologic history of the area. The quadrangle encompasses an area of about 132 km2 (51 mi2) in the southwest part of the Little Belt Mountains and is about 26 km (17 mi) north of White Sulphur Springs, county seat of Meagher County, Montana. Two contrasting geologic terranes form the area. The northern two-thirds of the quadrangle are underlain by Paleoproterozoic metagranite that contains some inclusions of metadiorite and biotite gneiss. A veneer of Middle Cambrian sedimentary rocks, including the Flathead Sandstone at the base and overlying Wolsey Formation, Meagher Limestone, and Park Shale, is exposed discontinuously across the Paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks. The southern third of the quadrangle, separated from the metamorphic rocks by the Volcano Valley fault zone, is underlain by Mesoproterozoic strata of the Newland Formation which are deformed in anticlines and synclines generally parallel to the fault zone. Eocene dacite sills and dikes intrude the Newland Formation south of the fault, and Eocene monzonite and dacite are locally present high in the northeast corner of the area. Oligocene andesitic basalt and tuffaceous sedimentary rocks of Oligocene and Miocene age are present in a northwest-trending paleo valley of probable late Eocene age in the northwestern third of the quadrangle and in the southeast corner of the quadrangle. The Volcano Valley fault zone is a complex zone of dominantly high-angle faulting, active during several intervals of geologic time. Prior to deposition of the Flathead Sandstone, the area on north side of the fault zone moved up, so that erosion removed Mesoproterozoic rocks on that side to expose Paleoproterozoic rocks before deposition of the Middle Cambrian strata. Movement along the zone recurred in early Eocene time as the south block moved up and east. Subsequently likely in late Eocene time, the block north of the Volcano Butte fault zone arched upward as normal faults north of that fault accommodated movement along the margin of the arch. A parallel fault zone, the Black Butte Creek fault zone, diverges from, and extends parallel to the Volcano Valley fault zone across the southern part of the quadrangle. The Black Butte Creek fault zone displays both left lateral strike slip movement and normal movement up on the south side. The two major fault zones together form a segment of the northern margin of the Helena structural salient in west-central Montana. Alluvium and terrace gravel of Holocene and Pleistocene age are present along the northwest courses of both Black Butte Creek and Sheep Creek and the southeast course of Newland Creek. Boulder deposits, derived from areas as far as 10-12 km to the east, are present in the southwest part of the area. Debris from excavations in iron gossan mantles slopes on the south block of the Volcano Valley fault zone. The debris and mapped iron-stained bedrock of the Newland Formation have drawn attention to the potential occurrence of economic sulfide mineralization in the area. Subsequent to mapping the quadrangle, an exploration company has identified in the subsurface a limited area of copper- and cobalt-enriched rock in the Newland Formation in the southeast part of the quadrangle and has proposed to mine the deposit. The current geologic quadrangle map defines a surface geologic baseline from which exploration and resource agencies alike can potentially evaluate the areal distribution of possible mineralization as well as the environmental effects of development of a proposed mine.

The geology of western and northern Gallatin National Forest was mapped in two parts as part of an evaluation of its mineral resource potential by the USGS. Previously, the western part was released as Map A and the northern part as Map B of USGS Geologic Investigations Series Map I-2584. These maps were compiled, digitized, and produced using the USGS software program GSMAP. All the original source maps were simplified on mylar overlays, digitized at their original map scales and projections, and then merged into the final maps. After editing, the digital maps were filtered to remove all points not necessary for improving resolution at a scale of 1:126,720 (2 mi per in., the scale used by the USDA Forest Service). For purposes of resource assessment, many rock units have been combined on these maps. For details, the user should consult the original source maps.
