Geological Map of Cantabria at scale 1:100.000

Map showing the chronolithostratigraphic units of the area covered by the sheet separated by different types of contacts: normal or concordant, discordant, intrusive and other. The tectonic structure is represented by the cartographic traces of folds, the orientation and dip of planar and linear elements contained in the rocks, as well as by the structural relationship - by means of faults and thrusts - between the rock assemblages differentiated cartographically. The map is accompanied by the lithostratigraphic legend and conventional signs.

Purpose

The Geological-Mining Map of Cantabria has been carried out under the Technical Assistance Framework Agreement dated 29th March 1984 signed between the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) and the Regional Council of Cantabria.

The general objective is to provide joint and continuous geological information on the Community of Cantabria for regional planning in aspects related to geological resources, geological risks, environmental protection and communications networks. Specifically, this map has been drawn up to analyse, frame and represent the mineral and energy resources of the Region.

Credit

It has been carried out under the supervision of the Mining and Energy Resources Service of the Department of Tourism, Transport and Communications and Industry of the Regional Council of Cantabria, by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME), under the framework agreement for technical assistance between the two institutions in 1984.

    Supplemental Information

    Only the geological-mining map of Cantabria is available in digital format. In the paper version, it is accompanied by two more maps, one of metallic and energy minerals and the other of industrial rocks and minerals.

    The report of the project for the elaboration of the three maps has also been published. It contains three descriptive and differentiated sections on the geology, metallic and energy minerals and industrial rocks and minerals of Cantabria. It also includes three annexes with lists of metallic and energetic mineral traces, of exploitations and traces of industrial minerals and rocks and of exploitations and traces of industrial minerals and rocks by substances and uses.

    The map and the report can be consulted through the Documentation Centre.

    Map made mainly on the information reflected in the National Geological Map at a scale of 1:50.000 (second series), MAGNA with the incorporation of data from doctoral theses and unpublished works.

    Digitisation carried out in 2002. Normalisation and generation of symbolised files (.lyr) and cartography, in version 8.2 of ArcGIS, in 2003..

    Description

    Compilation and analysis of previous information:

    Compilation of MAGNA geological information and of work carried out in the area covered by the sheet carried out subsequent to the MAGNA sheets.

    Description

    Production of the map:

    Study of the cartographic units and revision of the samples.

    Preparation of the legend Correlation between the cartographic units of the MAGNA sheets and the chronolithostratigraphic legend of the 1:100,000 scale map.

    Spatial adjustment between sheet boundaries.

    Adjustment to the selected topographic base.

    Drawing of the geological map at a scale of 1:100.000.

    Description

    Process of digitalisation of the information:

    Analysis of the entities present in the cartography. Assignment of codes.

    Digitisation of geological contacts and faults. Generation of the enclosures that constitute the cartographic units. Digitisation of the rest of the geological entities. Digitisation of the chronolithostratigraphic legend.

    Error control and correction.

    Description

    The rock units of the sheet separated by different types of contacts are represented, together with the tectonic structure, faults and map traces of folds, the orientation and dip of planar and linear elements contained in the rocks, structural and textural singularities of igneous and metamorphic rocks, water points, mineral deposits and indications, presence of fossils and other elements of punctual representation..
