Digital data for U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1300, wilderness mineral potential, volumes 1 and 2

This data release includes digital geographic information system (GIS) data which was extracted from the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1300, volumes 1 and 2. Included are 14 shapefiles comprised of points, lines, and polygons representing the items shown in the page size figures from the reports, and one .lyrx symbology file for use in ArcGIS Pro. Also included are 364 georeferenced images of the report figures, 332 of which are figures for individual study areas, from which the shapefiles were digitized, and 32 of which are state index maps. The georeferenced images are named with the figure number or state name, and page number from the source report. Features represented in the shapefiles include figure map extents, study areas, assessment potential areas, deposits, occurrences, mines, drill holes, wells, springs, volcanic features, sample sites, geology, and geologic structures that were shown in the report figures. The .lyrx file is included to assist in the symbolizing of the geologic structures line shapefile. The data digitized from the georeferenced figures were assumed correct, and very little accuracy checking was completed.
