BISO Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area Appalachian Highlands Network Southeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2013-0506: received GIS data for Honey Creek (75621), Oneida South (75619), Rugby (75622), Stockton (75620) 7.5' quads from TNGS Ron Clendening; needs evaluated and assessed for BISO project…….2012-1211: sent email to Ron Clendening at TN GS requesting GIS files of 3 new 7.5"s of Honey Creek, Stockton, Rugby quads…awaiting delivery from Ron……. 2011-0914: need update from Heather Stanton on any progress made to date with GRI map for BISO-OBRI…..2011-0202: Bruce Heise says earliest is 2014 for GRI mapping completion based upon working with TNGS………MULTI-STATE ISSUES……2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting KYGS data and digitizing TN GS data……2010-0902: 2010-0428: Heise and Connors spoke with Mike Hoyal (TNGS) about their STATEMAP activities in BISO qoi's for Scotckton and Honey Creek. Discussed possibllity of supporting total of 7 quads for both BISO and OBRI in the future. Needs follow-up and would likely only be for quads intersecting park boundraies……..2010-0112: have digital for all of KY portion; Ron Corneilisu supplied desired interest in coverage up to watershed boundary for both BISO and OBRI. 2008-0104: follow scoping summary and should treat BISO-OBRI as single project from watershed perspective; during scoping assigned "yes & no" to summary table and need to base scoping summary on that discussion; much digital for KY portion, but TN portion has many holes that may still need mapped and existing maps are NOT digital yet, so we'll need to digitize all of them.. Corbin, KY 30x60 (GMAP 74714) gives all of KY BISO portion digitally, but is mostly bedrock; is likely taken from 24k digital, but verify with KYGS. Tim sent note to TNGS asking about obtaining Stockton, Robbins, Rugby, Gobey, Lancing "prelimnary" compilations, and also asked about status of Isoline, Fox Creek, Hebbertsburg 7.5's which on their status map show as complete, but cannot find references anywhere for any of these; awaiting response. Also want to somehow incorporate the SIDs of all of the landslide USGS of maps; awaiting arrival of Chattanooga 1x2 individual 7.5's from USGS map sales as well; Georgia Hybels following up on it.

BLRI Blue Ridge Parkway Appalachian Highlands Network Southeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2013-0501: backed out to 2014…..2011-0202: Bruce says USGS will delvier VA portion in 2013 so earliest GRI completion in 2013……MULTI-STATE ISSUES……2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting NC portion of BLRI for GRI workload….2009-0908: Bruce Heise mentione that Mark Carter has joined USGS and will be mapping VA portion of BLRI for them…..need more details and potential delivery dates……2007-1203: NCGS has sent new package to evaluate (filed as GMAP 4160; 2007 BRP) for NC portion of BLRI; is closely tied to CARL too. Have GIS & PDF information (~2.3GB). VA portion needs scoped / assessed still, but might be able to use GMAP 4301 (USGS wri-84-4168). Need to finalize plans for this park with Bruce. There was talk of USGS wanting to do VA portion; need update. Image
BOHA Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area Northeast Temperate Network Northeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2013 2013 2011-0922: don't have surficial data though so cannot GPRA complete as some isles uncovered to date….2011-0901: received zipped deliverables from Mass GS for GRI conversion; needs evaluated…assigned as GMAP 75578…..2011-0608: Tim spoke with Joe Kopera on both BOHA and SAIR deliverables…he thinks they’ll be to us by 2011-0801….but Steve Mabee may have asked for 8/31 extension with Bruce….need to ask…..2011-0202: need updated status from Bruce Heise to determine if 2011 or 2012 reasonable est; expect USGS late FY 2011 delivery, but likely cannot GRI complete til 2012……..2008-0731: can use GMAP 2326 for some bedrock, but should also try to acquire Richard Bailey unpub'd stuff too. For surficial, use GMAP 74763 and anything newer that USGS has produced for area.; see Steve Mabee email too (Mass GS): Bottomline - If you want the bedrock geology we would probably have to do it. To do it we think would take about 1 to 1.5 years and about 60 to 80K. If you are interested we can put together a proposal. Surficial Geology I talked with both Byron Stone and Janet Stone at length this week. The Boston surficial geology compilation could be completed in year or so. I would personally wait for that since all the units will be consistent. However, Byron will not be breaking out the units as described by Rosen. He will not be mapping tombolos, retreat platforms, fringing salt marshes, gravel barrier beaches etc. He focuses on thick till, thin till, sand and gravel, lacutrine deposits, modern alluvium, beaches and dune, swamps and artificial fill. Byron would also like to integrate some of the bathymetric and side scan sonar data that the Woods Hole folks have. My recommendation would be to wait for Byron's stuff and then break out the additional morphologic units that the park wants using Byron's maps as a base and then integrating existing subaqueous data. Georgia sent Joe Kopera an email on 1/31/2013 for a status report and he replied a final product would not be available till Fall/Winter 2013. Image
BUFF Buffalo National River Heartland Network Midwest Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2012-0925: have recently received GIS for Buffalo City and Big Flat from AR GS as well as paper copies of Cozahome and Rea Valley from them too…need GIS for latter two still……….. This project is still awaiting a few pieces from USGS to complete and then needs all edge-matched too……2012-0716: Hello Tim, I will send revised shapefiles (actually I can email them to you) for the Buffalo City and Big Flat quadrangles once we get the quads edge-matched to the Rea Valley and Cozahome. Hope all is well with yours. Angela Chandler2011-1026: won't get USGS final deliverables until 20142011-0906: need to update MXD to show Big Flat, Buffalo City, Maumee 7.5's for sure……looks like Rea valley, Cozahome, Murray and Osage SW are only outstanding 7.5' QOI's still….2011-0202: changing projection for earliest completion in 2012…..2010-1119: located Maumee 7.5' completed by USGS; need to add into MXD and queue………2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting USGS and AR GS existing publications for BUFF…. A few outstanding quads still tho….2010-0527: Tim spent day 5/25 updating gmap status; found 3 new 7.5' quads by AR GS online for Landis, Marshall, and Harriet 7.5's; all are PDFs online and GRI received GIS for these back in 2008… Chuck Bitting email of 5/26 says Cozahome, Big Flat, Rea Valley, Buffalo City all under way by ARGS and he may asssist in wilderness mapping. For Maumee, Osage SW and Murray need updates from both AR GS and USGS. Also, need to verify that existing GIS coverages of all held gmaps are latest and greatest too before proceeding. Need to review BUFF supplied watershed boundary as well for coverage…..2009-0902. St. Joe 7.5' is most recent; need to add to MXD (GMAP 75172); still seem to need intersecting 7.5's for Buffalo City, Rea Valley, Maumee, Big Flat, Cozahome and Marshall for full park proper coverage though; need to determine who is supplying these (USGS or AR GS)…..2007-1204: follow scoping summary, but remember GRE trying to get agreement with AR GS for some mapping/digital work, so need to have current status of this from Bruce Heise first before proceeding. Have numerous 7.5' qois for BUFF already available and digital. Image
CHCH Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Cumberland Piedmont Network Southeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2013-0501: backed out to 2014; need mapping plan for GA portion….2012-1211: backed out to 2013 earliest…..2012-0719: have paper copy now of Hamiltion County map to evaluate for completing park……2012-0109: Connors would like to evaluate possibility of using old USGS folios for Chattanooga (GMAP 2448) and Ringgold (8925) to GPRA complete park……needs discussed,,,,2011-0208: need mapping plan so changing projection for earliest completion to 2014 and to "not started" based upon no large-scale mapping for GA portion; need mapping plan with GA GS……2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting or digitizing some existing TN stuff for CHCH…..2009-1207: have 2 QOIs in TN to convert from TNGS for Chattanooga (GMAP 68253) and East Chattanooga (GMAP 68296) but need plan for Alabama and Georgia portions……sent note to Mike Hoyal asking for details on unknown Hamilton Co map by Milici mentioned during scoping…from scoping summary….Map coverage is available at the 1:24,000 scale for some of the areas of interest for Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park (Chattanooga, TN; East Chattanooga; Ft. Oglethorpe [TN portion] quadrangles). Coverage for the Wauhatchie quadrangle may be available as part of a student dissertation from the University of Tennessee. GRI mapping team needs to acquire a geologic map of Hamilton County, Tennessee by Milici et al. 1979 at 1:48,000 scale. Some 1:62,500 coverage exists for the area on county-based maps, but is likely not detailed enough for the park’s resource management use. Persistent mapping needs in Tennessee and Georgia covering the quadrangles of interest may be a target for an EDMAP project (Ft. Oglethorpe [GA portion]; Hooker, GA; Wauhatchie; East Ridge; and Ringgold, GA quadrangles). Meeting participants suggested there might be difficulties resolving geologic units across state boundaries. Park staff requested additional mapping of quarries located on the Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge battlefields used for the construction of memorials and monument bases. Image
GWCA George Washington Carver National Monument Heartland Network Midwest Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2013-0501: backed out to 2014;…..2011-0419: based upon scoping, GRI has available data to digitize for 2/4 quadrangles (Fidelity and Joplin East), but not for Granby which intersects park proper………may solicit proposals from MO GS to map….stay tuned2011-0203: moving to 2012 earliest completion based upon not scoped yet…….2010-0910: gmap search for Joplin East, Fidelity, Tipton Ford, Granby 7.5's yields multiple for Joplin East needing entered into db Image
NATR Natchez Trace National Parkway Gulf Coast Network Southeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2011-0208: moving to "not started" because need plan to get all mapped at large-scale with msgs…..backing out to 2013 based upon so much new mapping plan needed and nothing in place yet with states……2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting / digitizing some of the MS GS 7.5's for NATR…..2010-0413: pre-scoping document reveals many holes in Mississippi and Alabama stretches of NATR, but Tennessee is fairly well covered in paper format but will need digitized. Need to work with MSGS and ALGS to fill holes in places and get digital coverage Image
OBRI Obed Wild and Scenic River Appalachian Highlands Network Southeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2014 2013-0501: backed out to 2014….2011-0208: requires funding with TNGS, but not underway right now, so status is "not started"…. 2011-0202: Bruce Heise says earliest is 2014 for GRI mapping completion based upon working with TNGS…………….2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting / digitizing some TN GS data…..2008-0104: follow scoping summary and should treat BISO-OBRI as single project from watershed perspective; during scoping assigned "yes & no" to summary table and need to base scoping summary on that discussion; much digital for KY portion, but TN portion has many holes that may still need mapped and existing maps are NOT digital yet, so we'll need to digitize all of them.. Corbin, KY 30x60 (GMAP 74714) gives all of KY BISO portion digitally, but is mostly bedrock; is likely taken from 24k digital, but verify with KYGS. Tim sent note to TNGS asking about obtaining Stockton, Robbins, Rugby, Gobey, Lancing "prelimnary" compilations, and also asked about status of Isoline, Fox Creek, Hebbertsburg 7.5's which on their status map show as complete, but cannot find references anywhere for any of these; awaiting response. Also want to somehow incorporate the SIDs of all of the landslide USGS of maps; awaiting arrival of Chattanooga 1x2 individual 7.5's from USGS map sales as well; Georgia Hybels following up on it.

OZAR Ozark National Scenic Riverways Heartland Network Midwest Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2013 2013 2012-0824: Alley Spring 7.5' (GMAP 75632) posted now too as PDF, no GIS….2011-0914: need heise update from fedmap…2011-0617: email from Dave Weary to Heise says "In the Ozarks, the geology of the Alley Spring quadrangle has Director's approval and should be out easily before the end of the fiscal year. If it's languishing near the end of the Summer I can still send the digits out. The Jam Up Cave and Pine Crest quads are in peer review, but probably doubtful by the end of FY."…… 2011-0202: backing out to 2012 for now…..Heise concurs on 2012; see emails of 1/13/2011…….2011-0118: added a few new gmaps from older MO GS pubs that may be of utility……2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting existing 7.5' data of USGS for OZAR area….2009-1118: ngmdb search for "weary" revealed new pubs for Round Spring (75211) and Cedar Grove (75212) 7.5's….need GIS for them though….2009-0902: need to discern needed 7.5's still not covered. Looks like Montauk, Cedar Grove, Gladden, Round Spring, The Sinks, Alley Spring, Bartlett, Jam Up Cave, Pine Crest, so search NGMDB for any new completions here first or USGS pubs…… 2007-1207: appears there will be holes in 7.5' coverage intersecting OZAR that USGS does not plan to map (need those quad names here Gladden, Spring Valley, The Sinks, Alley Spring, Jam Up cave, Pine Crest )). Need to consult with OZAR staff for their feelings on if data needed in those areas. Tim would like to see compare / contrast of newer 7.5's with GMAP 1622 (Spring Valley 30x60) and wonder if USGS is releasing newer map to supercede 30x60. Tim needs to upgrade HTLN MXD OZAR portion to reflect most recent maps (left off on 7336). GRE already have lots of 7.5' pieces digitally (Powder Mill Ferry, Eminence, Van Buren North, Stegall Mt, Winona, Big Spring, Van Buren South, Fremont, Low Wassie, Handy, Wilderness, Greer). FEDMAP says Montauk, Cedar Grove and Round Spring should be coming this FY 2008 (?) Image
REDW Redwood National Park and State Parks Klamath Network Pacific West Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2013 2013 2013-0429: Greg Mack thinks we have good data to complete REDW now; will begin charter and plan kickoff calll……2013-0426: Chris Wills ft['d more digital data GIS for Orick and Crescent Ciyt 30x60 portions……2011-0906: had call with REDW staff and Mack to discuss mapping plan; trying to locate large scale unpub'd data that fed Weed 1x2 sheet to supplement this project…..if located this will likely fill the voids; need to work with Greg Mack to get this project completed in FY 2012…. 2010-0924: Tim spoke with vicki ozaki who FTP'd some unpu'd geo maps that made up the 250 Weed Sheet….need to compare and contrast to Weed 1x2 for best detail… lots of pieces at 15' and 7.5' to review and decide upon, but good stuff !….2009-1204: from scoping in 2004 notes; Most important quads for 1:24,000 mapping: --Prairie Creek watershed: Fern Canyon, Orick; Holter Ridge, Ah Pah (corner); --Mill Creek watershed: Cant Hook Mt., Childs Hill; Hiouchi; maybe Sisters Rocks; --Quads along coast (Crescent City to Orick) for coastal biology surveys. Get watershed coverage from park for scoping report. Other mapping needs: Park is getting LIDAR for most of coast. Topographic data actually more important than geology. Pete Biggam says might be able to get LIDAR as part of soils mapping. REDW studying landslides w/ flow accumulation models & needs good topo data. Tim needs to talk to Rebecca about getting this. Need more uniform mapping that relates to regional geology. Digital geomorphic map already exists for REDW area – NCWAP (North Coast Watershed Assessment Program) (state project) Vicki thinks we can get data, completed project due at end of Feb? But delivery doubtful. Look into this. 2009-1110: have cd-rom from CAGS that has lots of good data for geomorph, geology and landslides for REDW. Cannot locate in NGMDB and need multiple GMAP id's to catalog to capture this work. Should ask REDW staff there opinion of this publication (Vicki Ozaki ??)……….2007-1218: consult Chris Wills email for newest mapping hints; need better scoping summary revisited but need to redefine scope with REDW staff; not sure if we have enough to complete park map. Have acquired image of Weed 1x2. Consult Vicki Ozaki email of 2003-0818 for park desired mapping. Just stumbled upon USGS pp-1454 too that has lots of good geo-related stuff as chapters a-v Image
SARA Saratoga National Historical Park Northeast Temperate Network Northeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2013 2013 2013-0503: emailed Dave DeSimone to inquire about obtaining RPI publications online.....likely to have conference call week of 5/13...also awaiting possible more data from NYGS; Bill Kelly inquiring for us as per conferernce call today too; says Andy Kozlowski is now NYGS contact....2011-0202:backing up to 2013 for now….2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting some SARA stuff…2010-0113: received scans from NYGS to evaluate; needs followed up….2007-0918: need surficial references from David DeSimone for maps he mentioned that should be better than Heisig's USGS WRI-93-4029, then need to acquire them and assess. NYGS may also have bedrock 7.5' worksheets that fed 250k compilations; need to follow-up with Bill Kelly (NYGS) Image
TONT Tonto National Monument Sonoran Desert Network Intermountain Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2013 2013 2013-0423: moving back to can be started, not GPRA completed status; too many issues need addressed …..2012-0502: Connors suggest using both gmaps 7493 (THRO dam area) and 74430 (Windy Hill 7.5') to do bedrock……2011-1216: Phil Pearthree recommended using GMAP 39467 for surficial…..evaluating now; hard to georeference because no coordinates, but feel it can be used along with a few other gmaps to GPRA complete, so putting in queue for now….want good assessment though first by GIS team…..2011-0203: …..need to discuss with SODN and TONT…..should still supply map for surficial backing out to 2013 because need surficial mapping plan with AZGS still…..2011-0118: AZ GS Lee Allison says they are interested in mapping there; see email…..2011-0111: sent emails to Bruce Heise to ask about status of new surficial mapping that was suggested in 2006 w AZGS…..2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting or digitizng existing AZGS stuff…2009-0909: changed status from "waiting" to "not started"; Tim believes we may have enough to GPRA complete this park……….2008-0102: need to revisit project scope from scoping summary, but looks like GMAPs 74430 (Windy Hill 7.5"), 7493 (TR dam area) & 7492 (Sierra Ancha) could be of utility, but meeting said GRE needs proposals for surficial mapping from AZGS as that is major lacking need. Image
UPDE Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreation River Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network Northeast Region Can Be Started, Not GPRA Complete yes 2014 2015 2013-0501: backed out to 2014;…..2011-0208: moving back to 2015 and "not started"; don't know anyone at NYGS and need new contacts to try to acquire data unpub;d and 24k scale….stay tuned….2010-1115: changed to "CBS,NGC" to reflect work that can be done converting PAGS stuff….2010-0928: UPDE is multi-states (PA-NY); have some pub'd and preliminary surficial for several PA side quadrangles, and verbal from NYGS (Kozlowski) on prelimnary surficial for a few quasds too…need to acquire what we can from NYGS to evaluate….2010-0127: Tim received this information from Andrew Kozlowski…..Tim sorry for the delay here is the status of the requested quads. Okay, here's what we have: Fishs Eddy - Complete Hancock - Partial Callicoon - Partial Long Eddy - Complete (NY) Lake Como - Complete (NY) Damascus - Complete (NY) Eldred - NA Narrowsburg - Complete (NY) Port Jervis North - Partial Pond Eddy - Complete (NY) Shohola - Complete (NY) Rowland - NA2010-0114: Tim awaiting reply from NYGS Andy Kozloswksi on status of unpub'd of's in UPDE area…stay tuned…… Jim Chappell has assessed PA portion thoroughly too…..hope to add to FY 2010 queue….2009-0910: moved back to not started status because of NY holes in cvoerage……2008-0227: enough to start (?); Tim supplied Steph with all source maps who passed onto Jim Chappell. Should always check with NYGS, PAGS, and NJGS before starting though for their latest and greatest maps of the area of interest as they're constantly updating. Tim sent Bill Kelley (NYGS) note, but no response yet on NY 7.5' geologic mapping of the areack Image
