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:
