GIS data for mineral resource potential map of the Savage Run Wilderness, Carbon and Albany counties, Wyoming

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a digital geospatial database for the geologic map of the mineral resource potential of the Savage Run Wilderness, Carbon and Albany Counties, Wyoming (McCallum and Kluender, 1983). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in USGS Miscellaneous Field Studies Map MF-1638-A. The 15,253-acre map area represents the geology at a publication scale of 1:24,000. The purpose of this data release is to provide Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant data for the geologic map of the mineral resource potential of the Savage Run Wilderness, Carbon and Albany Counties, Wyoming (McCallum and Kluender, 1983). Development and publication of modern GIS data for geologic maps is foundational and high priority to the USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) to facilitate on-going research and other activities pertaining to critical mineral deposits, geologic and geophysical mapping efforts, petrologic studies, and mineral resource assessments.
