Bunn East quadrangle

Dear Diary – Bunn East

10/16/14 – MM created the BunnEast geodatabase today.  MM brought in all the shapefiles from MIKE’S FOLDER.  MM labellized the symbols and then started moving the dip numbers around the symbols.

10/17/14 – MM finished moving the dip numbers around.  MM realized later that MM should have waited until MM turned this shapefile into a feature class before MM moved the dip numbers.  MM turned all the other shapefiles into feature classes.  The only other one that MM didn’t change yet is the lines composing the symbols.

10/20/14 – MM saved the line file which made up the majority of the symbols into BunnEast_ObservationPoints3.  MM labelled the diabase lines.  MM changed contact lines to concealed where crossing water.  MM started labelling the polygons.

10/21/14 – Finished labelling the polygons.  MM Brought over layout stuff from Bunn West.  Gave the quadrangle some corner coordinates.  Sent PB a pdf of the quadrangle.

10/22/14 – MM completed the rock unit descriptions either by taking it from Bunn West or from the Raleigh 100k descriptions.  MM adjusted the linework and the symbols in the layout.  MM changed what MM could and sent PB a pdf of the map.

10/23/14 – After speaking with Phil, MM realized that MM got to use John Nickerson’s latest coastal plain units for this quad.  So after bringing the shapefile in, MM had to re-label all the coastal plain units.

10/30/14 – MM drew a contact line around a little Qal unit at the bottom of the quad.  MM also drew contact lines for some small coastal plain units at the bottom of the quad.  MM added some additional text labels and just cleaned up the quadrangle.  MM added rock unit descriptions from Edmondson for the three coastal plain units.  MM sent PB a pdf of the quad.

2/16/15 – MM needed to incorporate newfound observation points into Bunn East, in preparation for the Franklin County structural symbols super merge.  The observation points were drawn as lines by GSMCAD and Phil used a Python(?) script to turn those structural symbols into points with the azimuth preserved.  The file was called Observation_points_2015_BunnEast_lines_to_points.  Then MM swept through the quad to put in the dip numbers into the attribute table.  The dip numbers are on the map next to the symbols, just not in the attribute tables.

2/19/15 – MM continued putting dip numbers in the attribute table.

2/22/15 – MM finished putting dip numbers in the attribute table.  MM fixed any blank entries and put attributes in the Label column and the Symbol column.  MM brought in the Skip99 file, which had 11 additional points to be put in the quadrangle.  He added these points to the Observation_points_2015_BunnEast_lines_to_points file.  MM then saved these points as BunnEast_ObservationPoints3A.  This file would later be brought into the FranklinCounty GeologicMap.

10/27/15 - MM uploaded latest version of Bunn East map to Google Drive here:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxSMuI20Ka_kLVVDa1RnYWdEUUE
