Title: County digital geological maps of Nevada
Author: Ronald H. Hess and Gary L. Johnson
Year: 1997
Series: Open-File Report 1997-01z
Version: Year 2000 release
Format: 137 MB, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD (see note below about file formats)
Scale: 1:250,000
This file contains digital geological maps of every county in Nevada in ARC/INFO export format and DXF file format. These maps were digitized from the 1:250,000-scale plates in the NBMG county geological bulletins. Each dataset contains a polygon coverage of geology and an arc coverage of faults.
The purpose of this project was to create quality statewide county digital geologic maps from existing 1:250,000-scale maps in county geologic and mineral resource bulletins published by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG).
Please note: Symbol files are not included in this package. Also, users will need to migrate these files to the newer format in order to use them in ArcGIS Pro:

IMPORTANT UPDATE INFORMATION ON NEW DATA FILES.
The directory, New_Shapes, contains the same files as in the Arc_maps directory but in shape file format. The shape file format is a nonproprietary format that can be directly used or imported by various GIS type software packages. A "g" at the end of the primary file name denotes polygon geology, a "ga" denotes geology arcs, and a "f" denotes faults.
The directory, New_Basedata, contains updated versions of the following Nevada base data layers. The directory for arc export files is called E00_file. The directory for shape files is called Shapefiles. These 1:1,000,000 scale data layers were added after the first release of this CD-ROM and are not listed in the original documentation.
Nevada 7.5 minute, 1:24,000 scale, quad coverage from USGS:
Quad8_new.e00 in arc export format and quad8_new in shape file format.
Nevada Township and Range coverage:
tr100_98.e00 in arc export format and tr_a and tr_p in shape file format.
Nevada small scale roads coverage:
roads.e00 in arc export format and Roads in shape file format.
Nevada cities:
cities.e00 in arc export format and Cities in shape file format.
Nevada state and county boundaries:
county.e00 in arc export file format and County in shape file format.
