GIS Data for Selected Data from the Geologic Map of the Western Part of the Cut Bank 1 Degree x 2 Degrees Quadrangle, Northwestern Montana

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: August 06, 2025 | Last Modified: 20250321
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release updates the digital geospatial database for the southern portion of the geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1 degree x 2 degrees quadrangle, northwestern Montana (Harrison and others, 1998). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines, and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020). The 899,246-acre map area represents the geology at a publication scale of 1:250,000. Minor errors, such as mistakes in line decoration or differences between the digital data and the map image, are corrected, and missing orientation points are included in this version. The map covers primarily Flathead, Glacier, Pondera, and Teton Counties, but also includes minor parts of Lake County.
