Lithological map of Switzerland 1:500000

The Lithological map of Switzerland 1:500,000 provides an overview of the subsurface classified according to lithological and petrographic criteria.

The geometry of the polygons was reproduced unmodified from the Geological and Tectonic maps of Switzerland 1:500,000. Additional attributes were assigned to the polygons on the basis of the Lithological-petrographic map 1:200,000.

Statement

Die Geometrie wurde unverändert von der geologischen und tektonischen Karte der Schweiz 1:500000 übernommen. Die Polygone wurden mit Hilfe der gedruckten geotechnischen Karte (2. Auflage; 1963-1967) zusätzlich attributiert. Die Auflösung am Boden kann bei abgeleitetet Themenkarten nicht exakt bestimmt werden, da die Lage der geologischen Objekte der Interpretation des kartierenden Geologen unterliegt. Sie weichen zusätzlich durch Gewichtung und Generalisierung vom eigentlichen Ort ab.
