Answer:

There is a scanned legend in PDF available for every geological map sheet.

The Geology mosaic comprise several separate maps stitched together using different abbreviations and geology descriptions.

You will need to identify the map sheet name and down load the legend specifically for the map displayed.

The following 9 steps will help you find the correct geology map legend to download.

Procedure:

Step 1:

In TENGRAPH Web ensure the Mapsheet index referring to your scale of geology (1:100,000 or 1:250,000) and the 1:1,000,000 index display is turned on. The layers will need to be expanded as shown below.

Step 2:

Zoom to the area you are interested in using one of the Search Tools or the Navigation tools in the "Getting Around" Tab.

Step 3:  

Choose the geology layer you want and deselect any other Base layers or map layers not required.

Step 4:

Open the "Identify Tools" Tab and choose the "Retangle", click and drag over the area of interest.

Step 5:

Use the information in the Results to find what map sheet/ sheets you will need to download. In this example the "Perth 1:1,00,00" and "Hill River 1:100,00" mapsheets have been identified.

Step 6:

Now that we know what map sheets are affected navigate to the DMIRS data and software centre. Tengraph Web has a shortcut in the "Maps and Data Sources" Tab

Step 7:

Open the Statewide spatial datasets folder and the 1:100,000 folder and find the file containing the 1:1,000,000 map sheet, in this example it is "Perth".

If you are viewing the 1:250,000 geological mosaic in TENGRAPH use the alternative folder.

Step 8:

When the Perth 1:1,000,000 has finished downloading open the "legends"folder and select the PDF pertaining to your map identified in the results from step 5,

In this case it is "Hill River."

Step 9:

Compare the downloaded PDF legend with the original TENGRAPH Web display.

On the Hill River 1:100,000 map sheet Czl represents Ferruginous laterite.
