  Description:
    Abstract:
      This data was originally developed by Wang Song of CAST
      back
      in 1991. It was digitized from a paper map base (1:500,000)
      and it
      remains as the only digital Geologic basemap for Arkansas.
    Purpose:
      These data were used for the Arkansas Source Water
      Protection
      Project (1998-2002). However, it was previously
      digitized from paper maps by Wang Soong of CAST.
