Clayton quadrangle

Dear Diary - Clayton

7/21/14 – MM getting a self-contained geodatabase ready for Clayton.

7/23/14 – MM removed CPO’s diabase lines, because Al and Bob’s were more detailed.  MM merged all the lines shapefiles into one feature class:  Clayton_ContactsAndFaults.

7/24/14 – MM formatted the lines in ContactsAndFaults.  MM added Al and Bob’s pavement and CPO’s gravel polygons to the OverlayPolys feature class.  MM merged all the point shapefiles into one ObservationPoints feature class.

7/25/14 – MM realized that the linework for the coastal plain units and the Qal do not quite match the latest polygons, so MM is going to get rid of the lines and have the polygons automatically draw their lines.  MM formatted the ObservationPoints feature class, then MM created an annotation layer for its various labels.  Then MM moved all the labels or dip numbers around their various points.

7/28/14 – MM completed moving the labels and numbers around.  MM labelled the polygons.  Some of the polygons extended past the bottom of the quad, so  MM had to clip the polygons to the quadbox, and replace that clipped polygon feature class with the original feature class without losing the text labels.  MM did this using ArcCatalog in a little bit of a maneuver.

7/29/14 – MM labelled the diabase lines.  MM double-checked that all the polygons were labelled.  MM put in the two Al and Bob cross section lines.  MM put in some of the layout details, including the index box, title and disclaimers.

7/30/14 – MM added some rock unit text and tried to get it close to finished.

7/31/14 – MM added color boxes for some units, then MM brought in the declination symbol.  Then MM cleaned up the symbol section and crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s.  MM printed it out and sent Phil a pdf.

8/6/14 – MM did topology on the MapUnitPolys.  There were three errors and MM fixed them.

8/27/14 - HH received Clayton folder from PB, which was copied to HH’s C: drive. HH Edited the attribute table of Clayton_ObservationPoints file so it would match Zebulon and Clayton for easier merging for full Wake County compilation.

11/6/15 - MM uploaded latest version of Cary map to Google Drive:
