Western Earth Surface Processes
This report contains a digital geologic map database created from the east half of the previously published "Preliminary Geologic Map of the Blythe 30' by 60' Quadrangle, California and Arizona". That map was published as U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 90-497 and is available from the USGS in the form of paper copies reproduced from a scale-stable film original. The scale of the previously published map is 1:100,000.
The digital database of this report is intended to contain exactly the same geologic data as the east half of the published map in USGS Open-File Report 90-497. No data have been intentionally added, subtracted, or modified from the original map. The database has been carefully prepared and reviewed to ensure that it constitutes a faithful digital representation of the geologic data presented in the published paper map.
A digital geologic map database of the west half of the Blythe 30' by 60' quadrangle also is available. That database was published as part of U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map (SIM) 2922. Unlike the database of the present report, the database of SIM 2922 contains new geologic data in addition to, or in place of, the data contained in the original map of Open-File Report 90-497.
