Radiometric dating of samples from adjacent areas applicable to this quadrangle was performed by Harald H. Mehnert, U.S. Geological Survey. Technical reviews by Karl K. Kellogg and David A. Lindsey, U.S. Geological Survey, helped improve the quality of the geologic map, illustrations, and text. Sharon A. Smith graciously and painstakingly translated the map data into digital files. Carlos Vulgamott made preliminary digital copy of the map and cross sections.

The geologic map of the Hogback Mountain quadrangle provides new geologic information for public use and for use by governmental agencies for land-use planning, including assessment of natural resources, natural hazards, and recreational potential, and for land-use management. The map provides an interpretation of the complex geology and terrain to recreationalists using the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness. The map provides data for scientific interpretation of the geology of part of the south end of the Montana disturbed belt.

Geologic data were entered in the field directly on the Hogback Mountain topographic base map at a scale of 1:24,000. Location of control and data points was made by instrument resection and by inspection where topographic contours were distinct. Elevations were checked in the field using an altimeter calibrated at base stations and at surveyed elevations from the topographic base map. Data were transferred from field sheets to a scale-stable mylar base map, and separate scale-stable registered overlays were constructed for polygons, lines, symbols, and tags. Color check test plots were compared carefully to the original geologic map, and corrections were made as needed. The map has been thoroughly reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey stratigraphic nomenclature and editorial standards.
Lines and data points were located in the field by instrument resection and by inspection from the topographic base map where topographic contours are distinct. Elevations were checked in the field using an altimeter calibrated at base stations and at surveyed elevations from the topographic base map. Thus line and points on original field maps generally were located with a vertical position accuracy of less than one contour interval and a horizontal position accuracy of about 15 m. Lines and points were digitized from the scale-stable geologic base map using a digitizer tablet with a resolution of 0.001 inch. Information is added in accordance to U.S. National Map Accuracy Standards, Revised June 17, 1947. 95 percent of points plotted on mylar matched the source map within 1/50 inch.
No features that could be accurately represented at the compilation scale of 1:24,000 were eliminated or generalized. The smallest area represented is about 113 square meters. All geospatial database elements are attributed.
Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure, and other errors by the author and by the GIS technicians who created/edited the digital database. Automated (ARC/INFO) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. Check plots of the map were reviewed by at least two other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
- Access_Constraints: none
- Use_Constraints:
- None. However, citation of publication reference and acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in all products that use or are derived from these data. These data should not be used at scales larger than 1:24,000.
