Summary
Abstract:
This data set is the digital geologic layer for the map of South Asia. The data set includes arcs, polgons, polygon labels, and attributes for geology, faults, inferred faults, and rivers. The data set is compiled from numerous UNESCO geologic maps to assist in the assessment of oil and gas for the World Energy Project.
Purpose:
This data set provides one of the strategic tools to assist in the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project. This digital geologic base map with selected stratigraphic and structural features is created specifically for the oil and gas assessment of selected provinces of South Asia.
Polygons and line work for the geology (stratigraphy, faults, and geographic features are generalized from scanned images of UNESCO geologic maps of the world. These maps are paper at 1:5,000,000 and 1:10,000,000 scales. The maps are not intended to be used at a scale of larger than 1:5,000,000.
This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the International Stratigraphic Guide.
