<abstract>
This is an Arc/Info polygon data set containing glacial boundary
lines representing the extent of glaciation for major glacial
episodes in Illinois.  Data are originally from the Quaternary
Deposits in Illinois (1:500,000) map by Lineback (1979).  Data
have been subsequently modified to conform with the reclassification
by Hansel and Johnson, ISGS Bulletin 104 (1996).  Glacial episode is
identified for each polygon.  The data include the Wisconsin,
Illinois and the Pre-Illinois episodes.  Areas not glaciated are also
identified.  The nominal scale is 1:500,000.
</abstract>
<purpose>
The data are appropriate as a statewide overview of the extent of
the major glacial episodes in Illinois.  The data are not appropriate
as a map base, except in generalized geologic mapping.
</purpose>
<supplinf>

Origin of the data:

This layer originated with the Integrated Terrain Unit (ITU)
digital data set prepared for the ISGS by Environmental Systems
Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) of Redlands, California in 1984.

The ITU manuscript synthesizes and organizes natural resource
information for the state.  Data included are natural
divisions, bedrock geology, Quaternary geology, STACK units,
glacial boundaries, soul associations, SCS land resource
areas, ecoregions, and potential natural vegetation.  The
mapping resolution was generally 640 acres.  Waterbodies were
mapped to a minimum size of 320 acres.  Data were integrated in
the following order: Quaternary geology, stack units, glacial
boundaries, bedrock geology, soil associations, natural divisions,
potential natural vegetation, SCS land resource areas, and finally
ecoregions.

Updates to the data:

Edition 1.0 of these data were reviewed for internal logical
consistency in May, 1998.  As a result, tics were replaced,
COVER-ID values were recalculated to be unique, and major revisions
were made to polygon boundaries and attributes.  See logical
consistency report and process steps for May, 1998 for more
details.  The updated data set (this one) is edition 1.1.

Data set information was reviewed by ISGS Staff.  Information
included is accurate in regard to Hansel and Johnson, ISGS Bull.

appropriate value domains.

<logic>
Polygon and chain-node topology is present.
Typically, ISGS Arc/Info coverages are checked
for complete chain-node topology (no dangling
arcs, except where appropriate), polygon labels
(one per polygon, except for universal polygon),
boundary values appropriate for map projection
and map units, and appropriate &quot;fuzzy&quot; tolerances.
</logic>
<complete>
All known episodic boundaries that can be appropriately mapped at
a scale of 1:500,000 are shown.  There may exist site-specific
studies containing more recent data that are not included here.

In the ITU data preparation process, glacial boundary lines were
adjusted to the boundaries of till members of a Quaternary
geology overlay produced during the integration of stack-units
and Quaternary geology units.  In areas where glacial till
was absent (i.e., bedrock, loess, and silt areas) the glacial
boundaries were left unchanged.  No quantitative assessment of
horizontal accuracy is available.  These data are intended to
show a general statewide overview of the areal extent of glacial
episodes.  Use at scales greater than 1:500,000 is discouraged.

Data set was reviewed in May, 1998.  Review was limited to internal
logical consistency of attribute items.  Locations of features and
accuracy of item values were not checked, except in cases where
possible errors became apparent as a result of logical consistency
checks.  No checks were performed that involved plotting
of hardcopy maps and manual overlay with source materials.
For scope of review, see *path_name_suppressed*/surf_v1_0_rev.txt.
Some changes were made, as follows:

The existing set of tics was replaced by the set of tics
from the coverage RE-STATE1.  These were derived from 7.5 minute
quadrangle corners (data set QUAD75) and give a good distribution
of tics immediately outside the state boundary.  COVER-ID values
were recalculated to be unique.  The existing state boundary line
was replaced with the boundary from *path_name_suppressed*/state
for general update purposes and to remove the portion of the state
boundary that lies within the Lake Michigan area.

Most importantly, the spatial extent and attribute values of
several polygons were changed to reflect the lithostratigraphic
reclassification of deposits as described in ISGS Bulletin 104
(Hansel and Johnson, 1996).  Specifically, polygons coded as Late,
Middle or Early Woodfordian were amalgamated into a single polygon
coded as Wisconsinan.  Polygons coded as Altonian or Illinoian
(undifferentiated) were amalgamated into a single polygon
coded as Illinoian.  Polygons coded as Kansan (undifferentiated)
were recoded to Pre-Illinoian.  Polygons coded as Not Glaciated
were unchanged.
