Planar coordinates are encoded using Coordinate pair
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 250 meters
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 250 meters
Planar coordinates are specified in METERS
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum 1927.
The ellipsoid used is Clarke 1866.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.4.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.98.

To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of Southeast Asia, 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 and an ArcExplorer project.

Coverage has been reviewed for content.
Coverage has a fuzzy tolerance of 500 meters.
Not Applicable
Geologic provinces are delineated by U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project regional coordinators and others with an emphasis on the determination of petroleum systems. Methods may vary from one region to another.
Polygon topology is present, each polygon has one unique label point, there are no dangles, polygons are bounded at extent of coverage. The coverage is topologically cleaned and built in Arc/Info.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
