The center of the poster is a map showing the pattern of earthquake locations in the most seismically active part of the central United States. Arrayed around the map are short explanatory texts and graphics, which describe the distribution of historical earthquakes and the effects of the most notable of them. Purpose: The poster was prepared for a nontechnical audience and designed to inform the general public as to the widespread occurrence of felt and damaging earthquakes. Accordingly, the poster should not be used to assess earthquake hazard in small areas or at individual locations.

Publication_Date: 2003 Title: Earthquakes in the Central United States--1699-2002 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Other_Citation_Details: The earthquake data, map graticule information, and image data used to generate this poster reside on a Sun Microsystems server, IP address 136.177.33.137 (cd to /deathstar/qfault/russmap), at the U.S.G.S. offices in Golden, Colorado USA. The earthquake data (ArcInfo point coverages) are cus_eq3 (magnitudes 3.0 to <4.0), cus_eq4 (magnitudes 4.0 to <5.0), cus_eq5 (magnitudes 5.0 to <6.0), cus_eq6 (magnitudes 6.0 to <7.0), cus_eq7 (magnitudes >=7.0). Graticule coverages are rus2grat and rus2grattic. The digital elevation model (DEM) and the color shaded relief image are new_8 and color_8, respectively. Online_Linkage: None Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: Map elements were visually checked by the author for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon attributes, and other errors. Automated (ARC/INFO) routines were also used to check the database for polygon label errors, and projection information. The map was reviewed by other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards. Completeness_Report: Data is complete; no features were eliminated or generalized. Unit properties are described in the text explanation.

A USGS Open-File report describes procedures, sources of earthquake information, and examples (Wheeler, Russell L., 2003, Earthquakes of the Central United States, 1795-2002 -- Construction of the earthquake catalog for an outreach map: USGS Open-File Report 03-232, 15 p. May be downloaded from http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2003/ofr-03-232/.). The digital elevation model shown on the map was made from data of the National Elevation Dataset, part of The National Map. The National Map is described at URL http://www.nationalmap.usgs.gov/. Lines such as Interstate highways, other major roads, State and county boundaries, and rivers, and polygons such as urban areas and water bodies, are from standard digital datasets in the collection "ESRI Maps and Data 2002." Current versions of these datasets may be purchased at URL http://www.esri.com/data/index.html/. Labels and other graphical objects were added to the map in Adobe Illustrator.
