Cary quadrangle

Dear Diary – Cary (new version)

1/21/16 - MM saved final pdf NCGS_OFR_2016-02_Cary_QR in Portal Document Library (http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document_library/get_file?p_l_id=1169848&folderId=15250710&name=DLFE-121692.pdf).  MM placed the Cary map in the Online Store for sale (http://nc-maps.stores.yahoo.net/gemapofca7qu1.html).

1/15/16 - MM changed back to the correct colors for CZbr1 and CZbr2.  MM added new table per PB's request.  MM added mapping dates text.  MM made sure CSA and CSB reflected the changes back to CZbr1 and CZbr2.  MM printed out the map for KBT.

1/14/16 - MM began making last edits per KBT.  Halfway through converting CZbru and CZbrl to CZbr1 and CZbr2.

1/6/2016 - MM made additional edits to Cary quad.  Will wait for PB to return on 1/8 to finish the remaining edits.

1/5/2016 - MM started making edits to Cary quad, per KBT edits.  MM completed edits to CSB, but will have to wait to talk with PB on changes to east side of CSB on 1/8.  Will continue with correcting other edits on 1/6.

11/30/2015 - Edit to make - Add what the "sticks and balls" on the brittle normal faults represent on the explanation.

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

10/16/14 – MM made the rest of PB’s edits and emailed him back the pdf.  MM also standardized the fault arrows using the FGDC arrows.

10/8/14 – MM got PB’s email back and started to make his changes.  MM made the first three changes on his email.


10/3/14 – MM changed the Cenozoic symbol to C, and the Triassic symbol to Tr in the rock descriptions.  MM printed out the quad and MM made some corrections.  There were a few more questions that MM had and MM emailed PB the GeoPDF to get some clarity.

10/2/14 – MM changed all the files in each MapView so that now the .mxd is self-contained.  MM also changed three symbols in the symbols section of the layout.

10/1/14 – MM started making Cary self-contained in one database.  First, MM combined the foliations, geo_chem_sites, lineations, and the nonrot_symbols into the foliations shapefile.  Then, MM swept the map adjusting the newly drawn symbols and their dip numbers to get them in the right place.  MM then transferred the remaining shapefiles into feature classes on the C drive in the Cary_DISTRIBUTABLE folder.  MM still have to do the other Map Views and then MM have to change some of the symbols in the layout area.  MM changed the lineations symbols today to better reflect the FGDC bible.

9/25/14 – MM completed the sweep and sent Phil a pdf.

9/24/14 – MM placed the text in CSA and moved on to CSB.  MM added a text item to CSB.  MM moved onto the Quad layer.  MM brought in 9 shapefiles from the CaryLifeboat folder.  MM then brought in all the .lyr files for these shapefiles.  MM then started a sweep from left to right changing the ^ to Tr, changing the width of leader bars from .25 to .5 and changing the location of dip numbers.  It might take a few days to complete.

9/5/14 – MM completed the changes for cross section A and MM brought in stuff for CSB (contacts, leader bars, polygons and their layer files.  MM still need to put text in CSA on vertical leader bar.

9/4/14 – MM started this project again and worked on the CrossSection A Data View.  MM brought in shapefiles from the CaryLifeboat folder in the Cary folder on the E drive.  This includes the contacts and polygons for the cross section.  MM also brought in the layer files in the CaryLifeboat folder.  MM labelled the CSA, but the text labels were too large, so MM shrunk them to 6.  (MM later dropped them to size 5.)

4/4/14 – MM copied the layout from an old .mxd and pasted it into a new Cary_DISTRIBUTABLE.mxd.  MM did not copy the old quad data frame or the two cross section data frames.  MM wanted to start those fresh, without the taint of previous geodatabases.  MM brought in two copies of the Cary tif.  MM brought in the merged polygons layer and MM copied/pasted the text blocks from the old Cary .mxd.  This will have the rock unit labels, the leader bars and the dip numbers.  If this doesn’t work, that means a lot of work.

4/3/14 – MM had earlier realized that the Cary geodatabase was corrupt.  MM could open the .mxd, but nothing after that.  There was either an incompatibility problem going from 9.3 to 10.0, or in the switch from an old computer to a new computer, something got lost.  The .mdb had 0 MB in it and perhaps, since this must have been a personal geodatabase, things got lost.  Anyway, MM had to rebuild the geodatabase.  MM had to go to my old computer and open up the geodatabase that was in 9.3.  MM saved all the feature classes as shapefiles onto the thumb drive and MM brought it onto my computer.  When MM repaired the data source for one of the feature classes with a shapefile, everything all of a sudden worked.  MM then created a new file geodatabase and MM will repopulate it in the next few days, if nothing gets in the way.
