The Karst Occurrence GIS polygon coverages
for
these coverages should NOT be used for evaluating karst geologic hazards or hydrogeology at scales larger
than 1:500,000. The classification of
the potential for karst development was based on the
field experience of the authors and other data. A number of isolated carbonate
units were newly digitized for these coverages.
