Generalized Geologic Units in Alaska

This coverage is intended to provide digital features (polygons) representing generalized geologic units in Alaska for use in small-scale spatial analysis (statewide) with other coverages such as vegetation types, soils, geochemical values etc.

access_constraints ["Use Constraints: This coverage should not be copied or distributed without its associated metadata file. Intended use is at small scales (e.g. statewide, 1:2,500,000 etc.) only; enlargements of this data to scales greater than that at which they were originally copied can lead to misinterpretation of data. The U.S. Geological Survey (Dept. of Interior) should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. Use of these data is not restricted; however, organizations, agencies, units of government or other users are responsible for its appropriate application.", "Access Constraints: N/A"]
