Description:
Abstract: This dataset describes faults and structural features of the
Caribbean region (Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize,
British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica,
Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Greneda, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti,
Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique, Mexico, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua,
Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the
Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, United States,
Venezuela, and the Virgin Islands (named countries may not be completely shown on
map)).
Purpose: To delineate geologic structural features and fault types in Open File
Report 97-470-K Map Showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields, and Geologic Provinces of
the Caribbean Region, which was compiled as a reference for the U.S. Geological
Survey World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil
and gas resources of the world. This dataset was used to produce maps in both ESRI
ArcMap 8.3 and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats. Files were exported from geodatabase
feature class to ESRI shapefile and ArcInfo export formats for use in other
applications.
Supplemental_Information:
In many offshore areas and in some onshore areas, faults shown are based on
subsurface drill or seismic data and may not reach the surface.
3) ArcMap 8.3 georeferencing tool was used to establish control points and
reference merged image. Original maps were provided in Mercator projection with
true scale at 19 degrees north latitude. Attempts were made to transform the
reference shapefile to the stated projection for georeferencing, but major errors
existed along southern edges of map. A geographic coordinate system (WGS_1984) was
used with more success. 57 control points were established to perform a 3rd order
polynomial transformation. Other transformation methods were attempted along with
other control point placement, but resulted in more error. A root mean square
(RMS) error of 1611.8 m was recorded.
