Description:
Abstract:
The Generalized Bedrock Geology of New Jersey consists of statewide data layer of generalized geologic contacts. The data were modified from NJGS DGS 04-6 Bedrock Geology of New Jersey which was created from United States Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations and Open-File Series Map I-2540-A and B 1:100,000 scale geologic maps compiled from 1984 to 1993.
Purpose:
This is intended to provide the public with basic generalized geology of the state of New Jersey for display purposes only on the interactive iMapNJ Geology. This data is NOT to be used for any geologic analyses.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Geologic contacts were modified from NJGS DGS 04-6 Bedrock Geology of New Jersey. DGS 04-6 was created by scanning and digitizing from United States Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-2540-A (Bedrock Geologic Map of Northern New Jersey), Open-File Series Map 95-253 (Bedrock Geologic Map of Central New Jersey), and Open- File Series Map 95-254 (Bedrock Geologic Map of Southern New Jersey). The files were geo-registered to United States Geological Survey 30x60 minute, 1:100,000 scale topographic maps.

If information is needed at more detailed scales, please contact the New Jersey Geological Survey to determine the status of detailed mapping.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
New Jersey Geological Survey geologists generalized the 1:100,000-scale geology by assigning each formation a geologic age (Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, Cambrian, Jurassic basalt, Jurassic diabase, Precambrian marble or Precambrian gneiss, granite). This data set was then simplified by combining adjacent polygons with identical geologic ages and dissolving their common boundaries. The resulting boundaries were then generalized and smoothed by Survey cartographers to make them appropriate for 1:1,000,000-scale.
