          Title: Geologic and Karst Features Map of the Mason and Dixon Quadrangle , unpublished work
  Description:
    Abstract: This feature dataset contains feature classes used to construct various elements used on the geologic map collar and basemap layout.  Map collar elements include index maps, cross section lines and neatlines.  Basemap elements include some roads, surface water bodies and quadrangle boundaries.  All the feature classes in this dataset are used for map display and do not include geologic or karst features.
    Purpose: For construction of printed map elements
    Supplemental_Information: Most of the data in this dataset were derived from USGS topographic map sources, the National Hydrography Dataset, and Maryland Highway Administration roads database.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of the feature classes is inherited from the original source material
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    Map elements were visually checked for missing and duplicate features and feature attributes and other errors by the map author(s), GIS project coordinator and GIS specialist(s) who created the 

    digital database. Hard copy prints of the map were reviewed by the MGS geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to mapping standards.
  Completeness_Report: Updates may occur as needed or as additional data become available. Check MGS website for version number or contact MGS Publications Office.  Data are complete based on compilation at 1:24,000 scale.
