The Forbes Geology GIS comprises a digital compilation of regional geological mapping of the Forbes 1:250,000 sheet by AGSO and the NSW DMR under the National Geoscience Mapping Accord from 1995 to 1999. The data package includes all mapping data from the 6 component 1:100,000 geological sheets; Parkes, Grenfell, Bogan Gate, Marsden, Condobolin and Wyalong. The GIS includes polygon and line layers depicting outcropping and buried rock types, structures, and regolith landforms. It also includes point layers depicting outcrop descriptions; mineral occurrences; geochemical, thin section and geochronological samples; georeferenced photographs; structural readings; and drill hole locations. Images of AGSO's airborne magnetic and radiometric data, and a depth to slightly weathered bedrock model are included.
