			<abstract>This is a 100-meter cell resolution raster dataset consisting of 1:750,000-scale surficial geology for California and 1:500,000-scale for Nevada, and parts of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.  This data set was aggregated from a compilation of geologic maps of the Southwest Regional GAP Analysis Project (ReGAP) along with California geology and the very southern portion of Oregon and Idaho geology.</abstract>
			<purpose>This dataset was created for use by the Southwest Principal Aquifer (SWPA) study to help characterize conceptual models of case studied National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program alluvial basins as well as the possible natural and anthropogenic factors that may affect water quality.</purpose>
			<supplinf>Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes
only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.</supplinf>
