Line

yucca fault_bar_n27f.shp Bar symbols theme of miscellaneous faults mapped along the Yucca Fault Zone.

Line

yucca fault_ball_n27f.shp Ball symbols theme of miscellaneous faults mapped along the Yucca Fault Zone.

Point

Note: These files contain the surface effects and bar-and-ball symbols for features not clearly associated with any single detonation by the original map authors. Most of these features were probably reactivated by the many tests that were conducted along the Yucca Fault Zone. No original information was found, however, to link the surface effects contained in these files with specific detonation sites.
