NMBGMR Draft Geologic Data Model - v. 1.0.4
LINES: Metamorphic Isograds

In the interests of standardization and interoperability, we are migrating our geologic maps into the USGS NCGMP09 data model. However, our well data model is still actively being used. Documentation for the NMBGMR geology data model is being provided for users with legacy data in this model. We also hope that it will provoke discussion in the ongoing effort to improve NCGMP09 and other models.

Isograd_line

This feature class represents metamorphic isograds. These lines bound areas of similar metamorphic grades and mineral assemblages that are portrayed by Metamorphic_poly.
