The Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Mesa Verde National Park and Vicinity, Colorado is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (meve_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 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. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (meve_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 (meve_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. 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 readme file (meve_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (meve_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 (meve_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the meve_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. Google Earth software is available for free at: https://www.google.com/earth/versions/. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. 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: National Park Service. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (meve_geology_metadata.txt or meve_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, 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).

These data represent all roads within Colorado State Parks where public access is allowed. This is a complete dataset of all public roads within Colorado State Parks and is updated as roads are built, re-routed, or abolished. Occasionally, some roads outside of the boundaries of Colorado State Parks are included to help depict the best route to access various parcels.Initial database work was completed in May 2011 by Tom Williams, under the direction of Matt Schulz, Parks GIS Coordinator. This feature class was created by combining all individual public road shapefiles from the L/parks/work/xxx/themes/roads directory of each park. First, a new standard for roads was created using the NRPA standard for roads as a background (Roads_Geodatabase_Standards_20110308.xlsx). A set of coded value domains were created in the geodatabase that was going to house the data to ensure data quality as the data was edited in the future. The final desired fields and all possible fields from the shapefiles were added into a new feature class and then each individual park shapefile was added to the created feature class using the "Append" tool. All fields were condensed into the final desired fields and entries were changed to match the domain for that field. Some information was put into the COMMENTS field so it was not lost in the transition. NOTE FOR FURTHER EDITS: When editing, a drop down pick list will appear for each entry if the field has a domain assigned to it. You must populate using the pick list or you can fill in multiple entries at once by using the field calculator and using the code instead of the code description. Please view the Supplemental Details to see the codes and descriptions.State Forest State Park: Winter Roads were integrated, "Plowed" field = YES

Please read the grsa_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). Presently, a GRI Google Earth KMZ/KML product doesn't exist for this map. 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 (zara_geology_metadata.txt or zara_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 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: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 13N. The data is within the area of interest of Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

The purpose of the Colorado Geological Survey’s (CGS) Antero Reservoir Quadrangle Geologic Map, Park and Chaffee Counties, Colorado is to describe the geology, mineral and ground‐water resources, and geologic hazards of this 7.5‐minute quadrangle located in central Colorado. Consulting geologists Robert Kirkham and Karen Houck, CGS staff geologist Chris Carroll, and field assistant Alyssa Heberton‐Morimoto completed field work for the project during the 2007 field season. Mr. Kirkham, Dr. Houck, and Mr. Carroll, the principal mappers and authors, created this report using field maps, photographs, structural measurements, and field notes generated by all four investigators.
