U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 00-224
Version 1.0

By Peter G. Chirico and Jack B. Epstein

2000

U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 00-224 consists of the open-file report document (as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file) and the ArcInfo export files and ArcView shapefiles required to produce a map of geology and topographic change. The original CD, upon which this site is based, also contains U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet FS-117-00, which briefly summarizes the topographic change analysis described in the open-file report, and an ArcExplorer GIS project file that can be used to view the GIS data layers that are available on this website.
