Tables--because of their small font size the numbers identifying the sites referred to in the tables are not distinguishable on the web image versions of Plate 1. Please refer to the paper print of Plate 1 (included with the report) or download a high resolution version of Plate 1 (available in postscript and Arc/Info formats) from this site at "https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1997/438/plate1.html".
Table 1A-Measurements from debris-flow source areas in Madison County, VA.  Sample locations (ID) are shown on Plate 1.  
Thickness (THICK ), width, and length refer to measurements of initial landslide made at debris-flow source area. MATERIAL refers 
to type of geologic material involved in initial sliding which mobilized into debris flow: C-colluvium, S-saprolite, R-bedrock, D-debris, 
or combination of the above. ROCK? (Y/N) refers as to whether bedrock served either as the surface of sliding or a permeability 
barrier.  HOLLOW? (Y/N) indicates whether the source area was located in a noticeable topographic depression. SHAPE denotes 
whether the failure surface of the initial landslide was planar (P) or rotational (R). MULTIPLE (Y/N) indicates whether multiple 
landslides initiated in close proximity.  Measurements identified (ID) by initial and number (e.g. W-1a) recorded by Gerald Wieczorek 
(W), Randy Orndorff (O), Bill Burton (B), Benjamin Morgan (M), and Giuseppe Mandrone (G).
