** June 2003 update **
Most of the primary coverages have been reprojected to UTM zone 15,
unshifted, NAD83.  These are provided in zipfile "filln83.zip".
The original set of files generated for the atlas are still
available in the zipfile "fillmore.zip".

Pdfs of scanned images of the printed atlas plates are located
in the "c8_pdfs" directory.


* Oct. 2001 update note *
The following covers were created in 1995.  They do not have all the current 
attributes contained in recent MGS digital products.  Go to the  documents 
folder on the MGS ftp site and there is a master "look up table" that will
give character descriptions of the MGSCODE attribute given in these covers.
3 of the most commonly used covers; bgpg, sgpg, and btpg have been updated 
and contain an expanded attribute table in the .pat.  No metadata is currently
available for this data.

The projection for the covers is:
UTM NAD27 with a y-shift of -4700000
  
This projection was commonly used by other agencies such as LMIC at the time of creation.

** Bedrock Geology plate **

 bgpg      =  polygon cover of bedrock geology,  scale 1:100,000
 	      digitized at 1:24,000 quad scale, edgematched, mapjoined 
              and compiled at 1:100,000
 bgpgk     =  polygon cover of Cretaceous unit 
 bgln      =  line cover of structure lines

** Bedrock Topography plate **

 btpg      =  polygon cover of bedrock topography
              digitized at 1:24,000 quad scale, edgematched, mapjoined 
              and compiled at 1:100,000
 dtln      =  line cover of depth to bedrock elevations (elev in feet)

** Surficial Geology **

 sgpg      =  polygon cover of surficial geology
	      digitized at 1:24,000 quad scale, edgematched, mapjoined 
              and compile at 1:100,000
 sgpge     =  polygon cover of eolian deposits
 sgan      =  annotation cover of surf. geol. units

**  Water shed plate **

 pmpgws    =  polygon cover of water shed areas (subsurface & surface)
 pmpgbv    =  polygon cover of blind valleys (Calvin Alexander)
 dyln      =  line cover of dye trace paths
 dypt      =  point cover of springs, water wells, sink holes or stream sinks
              as beginning or end points of dye traces
 p1ptws    =  point cover containing numbers for water shed identification
 
 calls the hydro.aml which has the following covers:

 l1lngal   =  line cover of contact line for galena bedrock unit
 hylnmod   =  line cover of streams with identification as to type of 
              stream, i.e., surface, sinking, intermittent surface
 
** Sinkhole Probability plate **

 pmpgsh    =  polygon cover of sink hole probability areas based on density
 p1ptsh    =  point cover of sinkhole locations

** Geological Resources plate **

 rspg      =  polygon cover of surficial and bedrock msp units
 rspt      =  point cover of quarries, gravel pits, geochemistry, Pb-Zn
              mineralization
 rspgm1    =  polygon cover of selected mineral property leases

** Database plate **

 wwptcwi   =  water well coverage (including CWI index attributes)
 wwpt      =  water well point coverage (contains a few SB points)

** Base layers **
 county    =  county boundary [TIGER]
 mcd       =  civil divisions [TIGER]
 hydro     =  rivers/lake boundaries [TIGER]
 lakes     =  lakes (polygons) [TIGER]
 bsanblk   =  base annotation - black
 llpt      =  lat/lon tics
 p1pt      =  road labels (uses ../rrv/rrvmark.mrk )
 r1lnmod   =  major roads (modified from TIGER)
 r1lnmod   =  minor roads (modified from TIGER)
 scbsblk   =  section lines (black)
