Purpose: This data set was created in order to serve as part of the background map layers for data visualization in the sediment database section of USGS Professional Paper 1634. Supplemental_Information: This data layer was obtained from USGS Professional Paper 1634 (2002) with no associated metadata. Metadata has been created for use of the data layer in this publication.

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). Added the online link to the data in the distribution section. Added an online link to the cross-reference. The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. Minor fixes to the attribute format for some attributes were needed. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
