Maps

The Landslide Hazards Program produces maps indicating both historical landslide locations and potential future landslide risks. These maps are typically paired with geospatial data products, which help assess hazard levels, and can be useful for risk-reduction and land-use planning.

Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazards

Topographic map of post-fire debris flow

Estimates of the probability and volume of debris flows that may be produced by a storm in a recently burned area, using a model with characteristics related to basin shape, burn severity, soil properties, and rainfall.

Map showing landslides and areas of potential landsliding in the Salina quadrangle, Utah Map showing landslides and areas of potential landsliding in the Salina quadrangle, Utah

The term “landslide” is broadly defined as any “downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials composed of natural rock, soils, artificial fills, or combinations of these materials. The moving mass may proceed by any one of three principal types of movement: falling, sliding, or flossing, or by their combinations” (Varnes, 1958). Landslides and areas of potential landslides are...

Preliminary photointerpretation map of landslide and other surficial deposits of the Mount Diablo area, Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, California Preliminary photointerpretation map of landslide and other surficial deposits of the Mount Diablo area, Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, California

The map shows the distribution of landslide and other surficial deposits by presenting the writer's best judgement regarding the origins of the various parts of the present landscape. It is based completely on the interpretation of aerial photographs through a stereoscope, which permits a three-dimentional relief model of the ground surface to be seen, enables the geologist to study and...
