Maybe some real sleep too. Over-dedication is over-rated. Now I know for sure.

So, this happened.
A big day for the DirtMap...it is complete enough to submit. In
celebration, I urged a colleague at a similar institution to help me
go live with the map.

1000s of miles of lines...
The colorful map shows the compiled linework that we started with.
Much was extensively modified to better illustrate the array of
surficial geologic deposits. The redline map shows the final
(preliminary) result of the modification and the addition of many,
many, many additional lines. Note that we simplified the bedrock.
Thus, some of the line density decreased as well.

detailed, to genetic category, to fundamental category.

Holy freaking crap, it's a freaking map!
See a mistake? Keep it to yourself. Our team collectively put a few 1000 hours into this product. It is the only complete map of the surficial geology of Clark County, Nevada that you are going to find.
The Dirt Map Correlation Chart....Revised
This is getting closer. Have had to impose a moratorium on additional mapping at 3 PM tomorrow. today. Working on the report.

State of the Clark County map, June 4, 2010
Bear with me here. This one clearly demonstrates the progress to date by showing all of the units we have divided. Less than a month to go...oh right, with 7 days of field camp in the middle. Wish us luck.

State of the Clark County map, June 1, 2010
The map just keeps getting better. Tying up some loose ends, dealing differently with the Muddy Creek Formation, addressing some reviewer concerns based on a much older version, etc. Presented this map at the Digital Mapping Techniques Workshop in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago. Reaction to talk and map indicates that this map was made in record time for a record bargain.
