Bynum quadrangle

Dear Diary – Bynum

4/9/21 - MM goofed off with the quadrangle yesterday in ArcPro. MM was able to start a Map, bring in the OrientationPoints, import the Symbology, navigate to the LayerFiles folder in the DISTRIBUTABLE folder and brought in the layer. It worked. It looks like the work computer has everything needed to create the symbols. However, MM tried the same thing on the laptop and it didn't work. More work needed to think about this.

4/1/11 – Received the Bynum_PRODUCTION.mxd from HH by email.

4/4/11 – Began and completed work on Bynum.  Added SM_CODE to the points file and coded the symbols.  Then MM rotated them, added dip numbers as an annotation table, moved the dip numbers, labeled the rock unit labels and put this all in a zip file.  MM then sent it off to HH and PB.

9/8/13 – MM figured out what MM needed to do for Bynum.  Apparently, PB and HH had created Bynum_Production.mxd and all MM have to do is pretty it up and bring in layout elements and the rock unit descriptions.  Well, that and all the symbols.  Oh, well…  MM brought in the layout elements and put in the corner coordinates.  MM put in the SM_CODE for the symbols.  They are ready to be symbolized.

9/9/13 – MM had to resave everything into a new geodatabase, because RFO had done their .mxd in ArcInfo and the .mxd wouldn’t let me edit in ArcView.  MM began to move the symbols around to more clear locations.

9/10/13 – MM finished moving the symbols around.  MM brought in the dip numbers as annotation and MM got the .mxd ready to move the dip numbers tomorrow.  If all goes well…

9/16/13 – Ok, now back to our story…  MM began moving the dip numbers to their proper place.

9/17/13 – MM finished moving the dip numbers.  MM began labeling the rock units and making dotted contacts through the Qal polygons.

9/18/13 – MM finished labeling the rock units and making dotted contacts.  MM also labeled the Jd lines and put the correct symbols on the fold lines.  MM put the diabase points in the OtherPoints feature class.  Fixed CSA.  Tried fixing CSB, but didn’t have chance to fix Qal polygons.  Perhaps ask PB who did these tomorrow.

9/19/13 – Unfixed CSA.  After talking with PB, MM realized MM was doing the cross sections incorrectly.  MM have to use the cross section line that goes across the top, not where the Qal crosses the profile line.  MM will have to think about that more later.  MM made some more changes to the two cross sections.  MM went to the layout, added the symbols, added the rock unit descriptions and colored boxes and MM was finished.  MM made some additional minor adjustments and saved it as a pdf and emailed it to PB, and later, SS.

9/20/13 – Made minor corrections to map per PB’s request.  This included overturned lines in the layout, on unlabeled line in SE corner of the map, minor adjustment to the correlation diagram and labeling the purple dikes.  After these were completed, MM emailed him a pdf of the map.

9/23/13 – MM got a copy of a HydrologyOnly GeoTIFF from PB to put on top of the base tif to make the water features more visible.  MM printed out a flawed copy of the map at the RFO and gave it to Ken for edits.

9/24/13 – MM made the changes to the map that Ken requested, as well as a couple of edits MM requested, and finished the map.

9/26/13 – MM printed two copies with the help of Steve Kaufman at the Geodetic Survey’s office in west Raleigh.  There may have been a flaw or two, but it’s too late and we have no plotter here to fix it.

10/1/13 – Cleaning up the quad.  MM took out some unnecessary feature classes, then MM saved LayerFiles and shapefiles to folders in the DISTRIBUTABLE folder.

11/08/13 – During the week, MM was doing topology for all the feature classes for Bynum.  Today, MM did the topology for the Contacts and Faults and the MapUnitPolys for the quad and both cross sections. 

 11/5/14 - MM uploaded latest version of Bunn East map to Google Drive:
