Siler City NE

Dear Diary – Siler City NE

6/5/15 – MM started layout by bringing in the Black Mountain .mxd.

6/8/15 – MM set up the SilerCityNE folder with DISTRIBUTABLE and PRODUCTION folders.  MM brought in Siler_City_NE_geoTIFF_with_collar_for_deliverable.tif  MM also brought in Siler_City_NE_Master_station_data and Siler_City_NE_Other_Points.  MM saved these as feature classes in the new folders.  MM added SM_CODE and Symbol columns to the attribute table for SilerCityNE_OrientationPoints.  MM added SM_CODE and Symbol values to the columns.  MM then added the rotated points to the quad sheet.  Tomorrow, the dip numbers.

6/9/15 – MM adjusted symbols to spread them out.  MM then began to place the dip numbers around the structural symbols.

6/10/15 – MM finished placing dip numbers around symbols.  MM brought in the stereoscopes to the layout.

6/11/15 – MM brought in symbols and their text to layout.  MM made symbols on layout for Other Features and Prospects and Quarries.  MM brought in Qal lines and polygons.  MM brought in HH’s diabase/lineaments file, as well as HH’s bedrock contacts and polygons.  MM made external labels of polygons.  MM labelled the diabase contacts and symbolized the lines.

6/12/15 – MM brought the lines into the layout and arranged them in the layout.  MM arranged the dip numbers after the linework came in to the quad.  MM and PB called up HH and she put on the T drive files for:  CSA linework, Traverse linework and new bedrock polygons and polylines.  The old polygons and polylines will be discarded.  These were saved into the dataset for SilerCityNE_DISTRIBUTABLE, basically overwriting the old feature classes for OtherLines, ContactsAndFaults and MapUnitPolys.  MM relabeled the new polygons and will work on breaking up the new linework in Qal and making CSA polygons on Monday.

6/15/15 – MM brought in the correlation diagram from the T drive.  MM has turned some inferred lines into concealed as they contact the Qal.

6/16/15 – MM created and labelled CSA polygons from the CSA_ContactsAndFaults feature class and brought the CSA Map View into the layout.  MM shrunk the layout from 44” wide to 42” wide.  MM worked on the Correlation Diagram.  Also minor adjustments and additions to the layout.  MM received the unit descriptions from HH and he put them in the PRODUCTION folder.  Then MM put the descriptions in the layout, made them better, then saved the layout as a pdf.  MM sent a pdf of the layout to HH, PB, and RB.

6/17/15 – MM printed a paper copy and made edits to the map.  HH sent a powerpoint document with edits to the map.  MM began to work on this.

6/18/15 – MM completed HH, PB and RB edits.  Then MM complete some additional edits.  MM printed out the map for delivery to HH tomorrow.

6/22/15 – MM made edits, per HH.  After discussion with Asheville and PB, MM reintroduced colored rock boxes in layout.  MM printed copy of map for KT review.  After MM looked at printed map, MM adjusted angle of patterns for rock units in cross section.  Since the angle of the cross section is 41.57 degrees, MM put the pattern at -3 to make it look like a 45 degree angle on paper to match what the pattern looks like in the quad sheet.  MM adjusted the rock unit box for Zhqdp to reflect that the unit is a point, not a polygon.

7/15/15 – MM tried printing out a pdf of this quad, but the text was Times New Roman instead of Arial.  MM changed it and saved the new pdf into C and E drive folders.

12/31/15 - MM updated the latest version of Siler City NE to Google Drive:
