The National Park Service (NPS) Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) is a cooperative program tasked with producing geologic information, including digital geologic-GIS map products, for park units with significant natural resources. The GRI, a partnership between the NPS and Colorado State University (CSU), relies heavily upon the U.S. Geological Survey, individual state geological surveys, and other organizations in developing its digital map products. To produce digital geologic-GIS map products for Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) the GRI converted and then compiled 1:24,000 scale digital data from eight 30' by 60' quadrangle map produced by the U.S. Geologic Survey (Billingsley, et. al., 2000 to 2012). The focus of this poster is to present GRI digital geologic-GIS map products for Grand Canyon National Park, and to display this data with high-resolution elevation imagery to showcase some of the the park’s spectacular geology.
