Geospatial Files for the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Mining Area, Valley County, Idaho

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

These geospatial files are the essential components for the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Mining Area in Valley County, Idaho, which was published by the Idaho Geological Survey in 2022. Three main file types are in this dataset: geographic, geologic, and mining. Geographic files are map extent, lidar base, topographic contours, labels for contours, waterways, and roads. Geologic files are geologic map units, faults, structural lines meaning axial traces, structural points like bedding strike and dip locations, cross section lines, and drill core sample locations. Lastly, mining files are disturbed ground features including open pit polygons or outlines, and general mining features such as the location of an adit. File formats are shape, layer, or raster. Of the 14 shapefiles, 7 have layer files that provide pre-set symbolization for use in ESRI ArcMap that match up with the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Mining Area in Valley County, Idaho. The lidar data have two similar, but distinct, raster format types (ESRI GRID and TIFF) intended to increase end user accessibility. This dataset is a compilation of both legacy data (from Smitherman’s 1985 masters thesis published in 1988, Midas Gold Corporation employees, the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Quadrangle (Stewart and others, 2016) and Reed S. Lewis of the Idaho Geological Survey) and new data from 2013, 2015, and 2016 field work by Niki E. Wintzer.
