 Bedrock Geology (2006)
The geologic map was digitized from original scribe sheets used to prepare the published Geologic Map of Wyoming (Love and Christiansen, 1985), consequently at a 1:500,000 scale. Stable base contact prints of the scribe sheets were scannned on a Tektronix 4991 digital scanner. The scanner automatically converts the scanned image to an ASCII vector format. These vectors were transferred to a VAX minicomputer, where they were loaded into Arc/Info. The dataset includes both linear and polygon features, with attributes derived from the original 1985 map.

 Hydrologic Unit Code Level 4 Boundaries (2006)
The Geographic Information Retrieval and Analysis System (GIRAS) was developed in the mid 70s to put into digital form a number of data layers which were of interest to the USGS. One of these data layers was the Hydrologic Units. The map is based on the Hydrologic Unit Maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Water Data Coordination, together with the list descriptions and name of region, subregion, accounting units, and cataloging unit. The hydrologic units are encoded with an eight- digit number that indicates the hydrologic region (first two digits), hydrologic subregion (second two digits), accounting unit (third two digits), and cataloging unit (fourth two digits). The data produced by GIRAS was originally collected at a scale of 1:250,000. This data set is a modification for Wyoming of the original United States HUC data produced by the USGS. The primary modifications made in this data set by the Wyoming Water Resources Center include 1) removal of hydrologic units that do not drain witi Wyoming and 2) modification of the hydrologic unit boundaries to better encompass streams and lakes represented in the 1:100,000 scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) of surficial hydrography. The HUC boundaries have not been "clipped" to the Wyoming border, in order to maintain the natural boundaries of the units. This metadata has also been altered from original USGS metadata to be more specific for Wyoming.

 Lakes (2006)
This dataset has both line (stream network) and polygon (lakes/reservoirs) topology. The dataset is served from the SDVC clearinghouse both in an entire statewide dataset and also tiled by 1:100,000 quadrangles, in Arc Export (e00) format and ArcView shapefile format. Statewide and tiled data: there is one export file, which when imported into ARC/INFO, will contain one coverage with both polygon (lakes, reservoirs) and line (streams) topology and two feature attribute files (.PAT and .AAT) along with three additional attribute files containing descriptive information. In shapefile format, there will be two shapefiles (polygons and lines separated), with all attribute files in Dbase format.

 Soils (2006)
This dataset represents soils of Wyoming at 1:500,000-scale. The layer contains 45 separate soils descriptions across 10 Wyoming soil zones. The layer was compiled based on the five-factor soil forming model using digital surficial geology, bedrock geology, and elevation. This dataset is documented in the report: Munn, L.C. and C.S. Arneson, 1998. Soils of Wyoming: A Digital Statewide Map at 1:500,000-Scale. Agricultural Experiment Station Report B-1069. University of Wyoming, College of Agriculture, Laramie, Wyoming.
