The Unpublished Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Moores Creek National Battlefield, North Carolina is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables in a 10.1 file geodatabase (mocr_geology.gdb), a 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (mocr_geology.mxd), individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files for each GIS data layer, an ancillary map information document (mocr_geology.pdf) which contains source map unit descriptions, as well as other source map text, figures and tables, metadata in FGDC text (.txt) and FAQ (.pdf) formats, and a GIS readme file (mocr_geology_gis_readme.pdf). Please read the mocr_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the file geodatabase and other map files. To request GIS data in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format contact Stephanie O'Meara (stephanie.omeara@colostate.edu; see contact information below). The data is also available as a 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. Google Earth software is available for free at: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD). Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: U.S. 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 (mocr_geology_metadata.txt or mocr_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 1:250,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 127 meters or 416.7 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 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). The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 17N, however, for the KML/KMZ format the data is projected upon export to WGS84 Geographic, the native coordinate system used by Google Earth. The data is within the area of interest of Moores Creek National Battlefield.

These polygon boundaries, inundation extents, and depth rasters were created to provide an extent of flood inundation along the Neuse River within the community of Smithfield, North Carolina. The upstream and downstream reach extent is determined by the location of high-water marks, not extending the boundary far past the outermost high-water marks. In areas of uncertainty of flood extent, the model boundary is lined up with the flood inundation polygon extent. This boundary polygon was used to extract the final flood inundation polygon and depth layer from the flood water surface raster file. The passage of Hurricane Matthew through central and eastern North Carolina during October 7-9, 2016, brought heavy rainfall which resulted in major flooding. More than 15 inches of rain were recorded in some areas. Over 600 roads were closed including Interstates 95 and 40, and nearly 99,000 structures were impacted by floodwaters. Immediately after the flooding, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) documented 267 high-water marks (HWM), of which 254 were surveyed. The North Carolina Emergency Management documented and surveyed 353 HWMs. Six communities were mapped using Geographic Information Systems.

A hydrogeologic unit map was created for Wake County, North Carolina by grouping geologic map units from Clark and others, 2004 based on their water-bearing potential. The water-bearing potential of the units was determined from rock origin, composition, and texture as described in Daniel (1989) and Daniel and Payne (1990) for the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Provinces of North Carolina. A layer file is also included to provide the map symbology used in the report.

The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, in cooperation with the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, developed the digital Water Supply Watersheds data to enhance planning, siting and impact analysis in areas directly affecting water supply intakes. This file outlines the extent of protected and critical areas and stream classifications for areas around water supply watersheds in which development directly affects a water supply intake. This file enables users to identify the areas which have special restrictions for building and development based on water supply intakes. This file is updated as changes occur.

This data was created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS).

These polygon boundaries, inundation extents, and depth rasters were created to provide an extent of flood inundation along the Neuse River within the community of Goldsboro, North Carolina. The upstream and downstream reach extent is determined by the location of high-water marks, not extending the boundary far past the outermost high-water marks. In areas of uncertainty of flood extent, the model boundary is lined up with the flood inundation polygon extent. This boundary polygon was used to extract the final flood inundation polygon and depth layer from the flood water surface raster file. The passage of Hurricane Matthew through central and eastern North Carolina during October 7-9, 2016, brought heavy rainfall which resulted in major flooding. More than 15 inches of rain were recorded in some areas. Over 600 roads were closed including Interstates 95 and 40, and nearly 99,000 structures were impacted by floodwaters. Immediately after the flooding, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) documented 267 high-water marks (HWM), of which 254 were surveyed. The North Carolina Emergency Management documented and surveyed 353 HWMs. Six communities were mapped using Geographic Information Systems.

This publication is a preliminary map and geodatabase of the coseismic surface rupture and other coseismic features generated from the August 9, 2020, Mw 5.1 earthquake near Sparta, North Carolina. Geologic mapping facilitated by analysis of post-earthquake quality level 0 to 1 lidar, document the coseismic surface rupture, named the Little River fault, and other coseismic features. The Little River fault is traced for approximately 4 kilometers and cuts the regional Paleozoic fabric (mean foliation, 063°/57°), and the dominant strike of joint sets are 0°–10°, 130°–150° and 320°–340°. Individual fault strands occur in an en echelon pattern within an approximately 10-meter-wide zone. Trenches across the Little River fault document a thrust fault oriented 110°/45° with at least 10 centimeters (cm) of displacement. The Little River fault is marked by a flexure or scarp with a height of 5-30 cm and a local maximum height of 50 cm. Southwest-side-up displacement is consistent along the fault and indicates thrust kinematics. The strike of the Little River fault changes from 110° to 130° near Duncan Farm where it crosses Chestnut Grove Church Road (NC Rt. 1426). Although the surface expression of the fault terminates and (or) is imperceptible at both ends, deformation is still clear in residual surface maps showing the change between pre- and post-earthquake lidar elevations. Other coseismic features documented are rockfalls, ground cracks, fissures, lateral spreading on a sandbar, and mass-wasting scarps; several possible faults that were identified from lidar analyses strike E-W and oblique to the Little River fault.
