Digital Geomorphic (Dune Field) Map of White Sands National Monument and Vicinity, New Mexico (NPS, GRD, GRI, WHSA, WSDF digital map)
2010. Digital Geomorphic (Dune Field) Map of White Sands National Monument and Vicinity, New Mexico (NPS, GRD, GRI, WHSA, WSDF digital map). NPS Geologic Resources Inventory Program. Lakewood, CO
The Digital Geomorphic (Dune Field) Map of White Sands National Monument and Vicinity, New Mexico is composed of GIS data layers complete with ArcMap 9.3 layer (.LYR) files, two ancillary GIS tables, a Map PDF document with ancillary map text, figures and tables, a FGDC metadata record and a 9.3 ArcMap (.MXD) Document that displays the digital map in 9.3 ArcGIS. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) 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: source map author and the National Park Service (http://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/parks/whsa/geows/index.htm). Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation sections(s) of this metadata record (wsdf_metadata.txt; available at http://nrdata.nps.gov/whsa/nrdata/geology/gis/wsdf_metadata.xml). All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.1. (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). The GIS data is available as a 9.3 personal geodatabase (wsdf_geology.mdb), and as shapefile (.SHP) and DBASEIV (.DBF) table files. The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 13N. The data is within the area of interest of White Sands National Monument. In October of 2012, data as well as ancillary documents and files pertaining to the WSDF map were updated after additional edits and comments were provided by the source map author.
