GIS data for the geologic map of the central Mayacmas Mountains and The Geysers steam field, Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino counties, California
April 14, 2026
This file geodatabase contains a GeMS-compliant 1:24,000-scale digital geologic map of The Geysers geothermal field and surrounding region in the northern California Coast Ranges and the Mayacamas Mountains. The database includes geologic map unit polygons, contacts, faults, geologic linework, structural orientation data, overlays, and supporting tables such as DataSources, DescriptionOfMapUnits, GeoMaterialDict, and Glossary. This dataset is part of a digital GeMS-compliant geologic map database for The Geysers geothermal field and surrounding region, derived from the original printed geologic map by Robert J. McLaughlin (1978, USGS Open-File Report 78-389).

2D and 3D Geologic Mapping and Earthquake Hazards of California
This project uses geologic and geophysical mapping to build an earth-science framework for scientific investigations that include assessments of critical resources, such as groundwater, and of hazards, such as those resulting from earthquakes, in California west of and including the Sierra Nevada and Cascade arc. Questions of particular interest include: What are the geometries, slip rates, and...
