Preliminary geologic map of the Little Piute Mountains, California: A digital database Preliminary geologic map of the Little Piute Mountains, California: A digital database
The Little Piute Mountains Digital database contains digital geologic and geographic information for the study area. The geology was mapped at a scale of 1:8,000, and the topographic information was input from the Little Piute Mountains, CA 1:24,000 quadrangle. The accuracy of the spatial information is limited to the input scale. Postscript files, originally published in paper format as...

Preliminary geologic map of the Malibu Beach 7.5' quadrangle, Southern California: A digital database Preliminary geologic map of the Malibu Beach 7.5' quadrangle, Southern California: A digital database
This Open-File report is a digital geologic map database. This pamphlet serves to introduce and describe the digital data. There is no paper map included in the Open-File report. This digital map database is compiled from previously published sources combined with some new mapping and modifications in nomenclature. The geologic map database delineates map units that are identified by...

Coseismic deformation during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and range-front thrusting along the southwestern margin of the Santa Clara Valley, California Coseismic deformation during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and range-front thrusting along the southwestern margin of the Santa Clara Valley, California
Damage patterns caused by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake along the southwestern margin of the Santa Clara Valley, California, form three zones that coincide with mapped and inferred traces of range-front thrust faults northeast of the San Andreas fault. Damage in these zones was largely contractional, consistent with past displacement associated with these faults. The damage zones...

Late Holocene alluvial geomorphology of the Virgin River in the Zion National Park area, southwest Utah Late Holocene alluvial geomorphology of the Virgin River in the Zion National Park area, southwest Utah
This study traces the geomorphic development of the alluvial valley of the Virgin River in the Zion National Park region of southwest Utah. The purpose is to identify, date, and interpret the patterns of erosion and deposition that formed the alluvial valley over the past 1,000 years. This information is a basis for understanding how the geomorphology of the alluvial valley changes under

Digital representation of the Washington state geologic map: a contribution to the Interior Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Management Project Digital representation of the Washington state geologic map: a contribution to the Interior Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Management Project
This report describes the digital representation of the Washington state geologic map (Hunting and others, 1961). This report contains an explantion of why the data were prepared, a description of the digital data, and information on obtaining the digital files. This report is one in a series of digital maps, data files, and reports generated by the U.S. Geological Survey to provide...

Metamorphic facies map of southeastern Alaska: Distribution, facies, and ages of regionally metamorphosed rocks Metamorphic facies map of southeastern Alaska: Distribution, facies, and ages of regionally metamorphosed rocks
Nearly all of the bedrock in Southeastern Alaska has been metamorphosed, much of it under medium-grade conditions during metamorphic episodes that were associated with widespread plutonism. The oldest metamorphisms affected probable arc rocks near southern Prince of Wales Island and occurred during early and middle Paleozoic orogenies. The predominant period of metamorphism and...
