Description In June of 1994 and August and September of 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, conducted geophysical surveys of the Sabine and Calcasieu Lake areas and the Gulf of Mexico offshore eastern Texas and western Louisiana. This report serves as an archive of unprocessed digital boomer seismic reflection data, trackline maps, navigation files, observers' logbooks, GIS information, and formal FGDC metadata. In addition, a filtered and gained GIF image of each seismic profile is provided. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y format (Barry and others, 1975) and may be downloaded and processed with commercial or public domain software such as Seismic Unix (SU). Examples of SU processing scripts and in-house (USGS) software for viewing SEG-Y files (Zihlman, 1992) are also provided. Processed profile images, trackline maps, navigation files, and formal metadata may be viewed with a web browser. Scanned handwritten logbooks and Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs may be viewed with Adobe Reader. For more information on the seismic surveys see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/g/g194gm/html/g-1-94-gm.meta.html and http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/g/g195gm/html/g-1-95-gm.meta.html These data are also available via GeoMapApp (http://www.geomapapp.org/) and Virtual Ocean ( http://www.virtualocean.org/) earth science exploration and visualization applications.

Trackline map of boomer seismic reflection data collected during USGS Cruises 94CCT01 and 95CCT01. These data were collected in Sabine Lake, Sabine Pass, the Neches River, Black Bayou, Calcasieu Lake, and the Gulf of Mexico offshore eastern Texas and western Louisiana in June of 1994 and August and September of 1995. This map is set in geographic coordinates, NAD83 (unprojected), and was created at a scale of 1:600,000. It was created using ESRI GIS software ArcView 3.2 and 8.1, exported to Adobe Illustrator for further editing, and saved in JPEG format. The coastline layer was derived from 1:100,000 DLGs. The USGS is not the originator of all layers used in creating this map. The U.S. states layer is an Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) dataset. The Texas hydrography layer is a Texas General Land Office (GLO)/Texas Department of Transportation (DOT) dataset. The Louisiana waterbodies layer is a Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office (LOSCO) dataset derived from ESRI/Geographic Data Technology, Inc. (GDT) data.
