A spatial database of bedding attitudes to accompany Geologic map of the greater Denver area, Front Range urban corridor, Colorado, by Donald E. Trimble and Michael N. Machette

This digital map shows bedding attitude symbols display overthe geographic extent of surficial deposits and rockstratigraphic units (formations) as compiled by Trimble andMachette 1973-1977 and published in 1979 (U.S. GeologicalSurvey Map I-856-H) under the Front Range Urban CorridorGeology Program. Trimble and Machette compiled their geologicmap from published geologic maps and unpublished geologicmapping having varied map unit schemes. A convenient feature ofthe compiled map is its uniform classification of geologicunits that mostly matches those of companion maps to thenorth (USGS I-855-G) and to the south (USGS I-857-F).Published as a color paper map, the Trimble and Machette mapwas intended for land-use planning...
