- Description:

- Abstract:
-
This coverage contains boundaries for
hydrogeothermal areas within Yellowstone National
Park (YNP). The original 1996 coverage, "Thermal
Areas of Yellowstone National Park, WY", was used
as a base for this coverage. Using one-meter
DOQQs, field observations, historical data, and
data from the Thermal Inventory Project the
original boundaries were refined, sub-divided and
the coverage was attributed. Attributes include
general park location, basin or area division and
names, group and/or complex division and names,
division of areas based on pH grouping of
inventoried thermal features within thermal areas.
The coverage was created for use by park personnel
for resource monitoring and protection.
- Purpose:
-
An attributed layer of hydrogeothermal areas was
created for use by park personnel in making maps
and performing analyses.

The 1996 coverage, "Thermal Areas of Yellowstone
National Park, WY," was used as an information
source for the coverage. Boundary placement in
this coverage was heads-up digitized using
one-meter DOQQs. The boundaries were determined by
one or more of the following methods: outlines of
areas identified as thermal areas on one-meter
DOQQs, field observation in which boundaries were
walked and compared to their appearance on the
parks one-meter DOQQs, boundaries which extend
past their appearance on DOQQ were set or
determined by the location of geothermal features
as located in the Thermal Inventory Project or
based on knowledge of selected members of GOSA
(Geyser Observation and Study Association) and
park personnel. Quality control was done in the
Spatial Analysis Center.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Errors may exist in the location of the
boundaries. The boundaries were set based on
visual observations of the lack of or sparseness
of vegetation in and around hydrogeothermal
features and not on a quantitative method; that is
neither soil type nor ground temperature were
considered. Thermal areas and/or basins are in a
constant state of change which can lead to errors
in the coverage as thermal area boundaries can
grow a meter or more in a month's time. Basins and
thermal areas may be divided into groups or
complexes. The division of a basin into groups or
complexes is not based on a linear distance or
size but is based on the grouping of geysers,
springs, and or pools. This grouping may be based
on the interrelationship of geyser activity
between other geysers and or pools or springs, on
the similarity of the chemical make up of thermal
waters, on historical groupings which may have
been based on the proximity of springs or pools to
a well known geyser, or other interrelationships
which do not exist today. This division of the
basin or thermal area into groups or complexes and
the naming of groups and complexes are therefore
subjective. Historically some groups, complexes,
and basins have multiple divisions and multiple
names. Concerned groups and individuals may hold
differing opinions. NPS division of Cultural
Resources (archivist/historian) and Spatial
Analysis Center did quality control. Group
divisions, group names, names, and name forms were
checked against any and all relevant historical
records and personal knowledge of park personal
and GOSA members. Therefore the spatial location
of the division lines of basins or thermal areas
into groups is to be considered accurate and
correct, because the division is based on the
inclusion of thermal features into the groups and
not on a spatial size or location. Specific known
errors in the coverage are as follows: Joseph's
Coat Springs: The thermal area labeled Joseph's
Coat Springs is actually Orange Rock Springs. An
error in map production by the USGS and teh USBGN,
circa 1930, named the area on the left bank of
Broad Creek as Joseph's Coat Springs and placed
the name Orange Rock Springs on a small group of
seeps at 2.7km WSW. The extent of the incorrectly
named Joseph's Coat Springs includes the thermal
features on both bands of Broad Creek and not just
the left or east bank of the creek. The name
Joseph's Coat Spring is used in this coverage due
to the extent to which the name is entrenched and
the number of works that use the name. Orange Rock
Springs: The area labeled Orange Rock Springs on
USGS 7.5 minute maps is not used in this coverage.
The name is the correct name for Joseph's Coat
Springs. Instead the area labeled Orange Rock
Springs on the USGS 7.5 minute maps is named Not
Orange Rock Springs. A name that is becoming
entrenched in local usage. Culex Basin: The name
Culex Basin first appeared on Geology Sheet XXII
of the 1904 Hague Atlas and was a small group of
thermal features adjoining Morning Mist Springs
and the Porcupine HIlls Group in the Lower Geyser
Basin. Culex Basin, as the USGS 7.5 minute quad
map "Lower Geyser Basin, Wy." 1986. implies is not
a basin. In this coverage the name Culex Basin is
used as a group name and not as a basin or thermal
area. Also the extent as shown on this coverage
of Culex Basin reflects the extent as defined by
the USGS 7.5 minute quad map "Lower Geyser Basin,
Wy." 1986. This is known to be incorrect. This
error will be corrected when an agreement on the
NE boundary of Culex Basin is reached between
YNP's archivist/historian and concerned
individuals.

- Process_Description:
-
Location of thermal areas was determined from the
1996 Thermal Areas of Yellowstone National Park. A
copy of this layer was updated in ArcView 3.2a by
relocating and redefining polygon boundary
outlines as they appeared on one-meter DOQQs.
- Process_Date: 20010901
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
During the summer season of 2000 ground surveys
were done in the major geyser basins, Upper,
Midway, and Lower, as well as other thermal areas
along the Upper Geyser Basin to Mammoth Hot
Springs road corridor. During the surveys boundary
outlines on printed maps were visually compared to
ground conditions and the layer information was
adjusted to reflect the observations. Printed maps
were also supplied to NPS personnel and GOSA
members who refined areas for which they were
knowledgeable and changes were made accordingly.
These changes were then made to the in-work
coverage.
- Process_Date: 20001001
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Group divisions, basin names, area names, and
group names were checked by the NPS division of
Cultural Resources (archivist/historian) and GOSA
members; historical and other related documents
were consulted. In some cases different division
between groups existed. In cases like this the
final decision on group divisions was made by the
NPS division of Cultural Resources
(archivist/historian). The decision was based on
which grouping was deemed to be historically the
first correct division or agreement was reached
between the NPS division of Cultural Resources
(archivist/historian), Spatial Analysis Center,
and GOSA members who replied to inquiries posted
on the GOSA list server. The changes or refinement
of the layer was then completed.
- Process_Date: 20020201
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Data were QC'd by looking for incorrect boundary
placement, group divisions, and inconsistencies
and or erroneous data. Named locations, basin,
area, and group name and name form were checked
against historical data and verified through the
parks archivist/historian and members of GOSA.

-
- Process_Description:
-
Data were originally edited in an ArcView
environment. This coverage was then converted to
an Arc/Info environment where polygon topology was
built. Using REGIONDISSOLVE regions were created
for location, Therm_Area, Group and Chemistry
attributes within the coverage.

This coverage contains the following attributed
fields: Location= The gross location of the
thermal area within the park, Thermal Area= the
name of the basin or thermal area, Group= the
group name for the polygon, Old Category= the
category of the polygon from the 1996 layer,
Category= the new category, a numerical value
which is based on the pH of the thermal waters of
features within the polygon, Chemistry= the
acidity of the thermal waters of features within
the polygon and is based on the Category value,
Origin Category= A numerical value based on the pH
of thermal water of features within the polygon
which is based on the theoretical origin of the
water, Origin Chemistry= the origin of the thermal
waters of features within the polygon and is
related to the Origin Category, Surveyor= The name
of the person who visually verified boundaries in
field, Survey Method= the method used to verify
boundaries
