Caldwell quadrangle


Dear Diary – Caldwell

 

7/6/09 – PB sent MM a combined Caldwell/Cedar Grove shapefile for polylines and stations.  MM divided the shapefiles into separate station files and polylines for each quadrangle.

 

7/22/09 – PB sent me a zip file with polylines for Caldwell/Cedar Grove.  MM clipped this feature class by the two quads and then ran topology on it.  MM then used the topology to identify and correct the errors.  MM used the toolbox in ArcInfo to create polygons from the polylines feature class.  Then MM sent the polygon shapefile back to PB to attribute the polygons.

 

7/24/09 – MM brought in the cross section tif image and rectified it to the end points of the cross section line.  MM then drew the lines for the cross section and used ArcToolbox to create polygons from those lines.  Then MM finished drawing the lines and placed text labels on the cross section.

 

8/3/09 – MM modified the layout to make it landscape (per FGDC conventions), and inserted the various pieces (xsection, scale bar, map location, etc.) that MM had at this point.

 

8/6/09 – PB came in and we worked on both Caldwell and Cedar Grove.  PB brought over the latest (and hopefully, last) polylines, and images for the layout.  MM put the rose diagrams and stratigraphy on the layout and then put the polylines in the view.  However, MM did notice that there was a gap between where the polygons that were derived from the polylines were, and where they should have been.  MM was going to fix the problem tomorrow and make sure the polygons and polylines are where they’re supposed to be.

 

8/7/09 – MM corrected the mistakes from yesterday by basically starting from scratch.  MM took PB’s latest polylines and did topology on them.  There were more mistakes than MM anticipated.  Once those were corrected, MM created polygons from the lines and then used the previous polygons to internally label the new rockunits.  Then MM moved on to Cedar Grove and repeated the process again.

 

8/10/09 – MM split up the stations into juststations, lineation, single and multiple foliations.  MM then began to place the dip numbers around the symbols.  MM had trouble moving the points connected with the dip numbers, so MM just moved the dip numbers without moving the points for the text shapefiles.

 

8/11/09 – MM moved the remaining dip numbers to their proper locations.  MM then turned inferred lines into concealed lines where they crossed Qal.  MM brought the rock unit descriptions into the layout and also created colored boxes to go next to the descriptions.  MM changed the layout from landscape to portrait, due to the lack of stuff to fill the space.  MM basically finished the quad and will print out a copy tomorrow and look it over.  Then MM will continue with Cedar Grove.

 

8/12/09 – MM printed Caldwell, then made subsequent changes.  MM also thinned the layout from 37 inches to 33 inches.

 

8/13/09 – MM printed one more copy and made more changes to the map.  It’s ready to give to SS.

 

8/17/09 – MM gave Cedar Grove and Caldwell to SS, so that PB could make changes and corrections.

 

8/28/09 – PB was here today and MM made the corrections that he requested for this quadrangle.  We made other assorted corrections and printed out the map.  MM will take one last look and then Ken will look at it before we wrap it up.

 

8/29/09 – Made final corrections on Caldwell.
 
11/6/15 - MM uploaded latest version of Caldwell map to Google Drive:
