United States Geological Survey, 1999, Geologic Provinces of the Far East, 2000 (prv3al): U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9BYRDHV.
Summary
This coverage includes arcs, polygons and polygon labels that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the Far East (China, Mongolia, North and South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and parts of Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam). Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour.

Purpose
To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of the The Far East, which is being compiled as a small scale geologic reference for the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. This coverage is used to produce a map and an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document of the map, to be published on CD-ROM. An Arcview shapefile derived from this coverage is used in an Arcview project.
