Older faults may have healed, or movement may have occurred under a different stress orientation than currently exists, or seismic activity may wax and wane at intervals longer than the historic record. In this cover, we show locations of known or suspected recent faulting. Features were identified in trenches, auger holes, wells, or on the surface. 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 at ) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1811 Ending_Date: 1995 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: none planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -89 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -87 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 39 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 36.5 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: neotectonic 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 Data_Set_Credit: Rhea Native_Data_Set_Environment: SunOS, 5.5.1, sun4u UNIX, ARC/INFO version 7.1.1 Cross_Reference: Citation_Information: Originator: Wheeler, R.L., Rhea, Susan, and Diehl, S.F., Drahovzal, J.A., Bear, G.W., and Sargent, M.L.
