Lakes were selected because of their value as a geographic reference and because each of the lakes is dammed, and the impoundments are large enough that dam failure during seismic shaking could be dangerous. Streams were chosen whose flood plains contain young, water-saturated materials that might liquefy or amplify shaking during a large earthquake. In Kentucky and Tennessee, streams with Holocene or Quaternary alluvium mapped along their courses were selected. In Illinois, streams with modern flood plain, channel, or alluvial fan deposits of Wisconsinan to Holocene age, or with slack-water lake deposits of Wisconsinan age in river valleys were selected. In Indiana, streams with Holocene alluvium, or with valley-filling, lacustrine clay, silt, and sand of Illinoian or Wisconsinan age were selected. Purpose: The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO (US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574, available via ftp on greenwood.cr.usgs.gov) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1980 Status: Progress: complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: none planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -89.00002289 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -86.99998474 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 39.00001144 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 36.49998474 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: rivers and lakes Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Wabash Valley Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Susan Rhea Contact_Organization: US Geological Survey Contact_Position: Geophysicist Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing address Address: MS966, Box 25046, Federal Center City: Denver State_or_Province: CO Postal_Code: 80225 Country: USA Contact_Voice_Telephone: 303-273-8639 Contact_Facsimile_Telephone: 303-273-8600 Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: rhea@usgs.gov Contact_Instructions: email is the best way to make contact Native_Data_Set_Environment: SunOS, 5.5.1, sun4u UNIX, ARC/INFO version 7.1.1 Cross_Reference: Citation_Information: Originator: Rhea, Susan, and Wheeler, R.L.

Processed data so that 15' quads could be combined into one cover using equalize, addcode, and append commands in arcinfo. Ran coversion software written by National Mapping Division to reclassify attributes into one attribute. Deleted major/minor codes. Compared river and lake lines to geological maps to select those rivers and lake boundaries that met the criteria stated in Abstract section of this text. Lines have acode values 20 (shoreline), 21 (manmade shoreline), 47 (canal gate), 52 (stream), 54 (ditch or canal). Areas have polygon water values yes or no, for waterbody or other (land or island).
