1. Map showing the location of The Gulf of the Farallones.
PDF Version- Figure 1

2. Sediment classification map of the Gulf of the Farallones compiled by Maher and others (1989) using Soutar Van Veen grab samples.
PDF Version- Figure 2

3. Outline of the Gulf of Farallones AMS-120 sidescan-sonar study region.
PDF Version- Figure 3

4. Map showing location of sidescan-sonar tracklines.
PDF Version- Figure 4

5. Map showing sidescan-sonar mosaic of the Gulf of the Farallones.
PDF Version- Figure 5

5a.. Area of sidescan-sonar mosaic showing digitate pattern of broad, shallow depressions floored by medium to coarse sand.
PDF Version- Figure 5a

5b. Boundaries of linear depressions tend to become less pronounced in the southwest region of the mosaic where they are covered with a veneer of finer sediment.
PDF Version - Figure 5b

5c. Area of sidescan-sonar mosaic north of the Farallon Islands consisting of fine, medium and coarse sands.
PDF Version - Figure 5c

5d. High-backscatter features located near the continental slope west of the Farallon Islands. The very coarse texture and high-backscatter energy is likely to indicate outcropping bedrock. Digitate depression features can be seen in the west region of the figure.
PDF Version - Figure 5d

5e High-backscatter features located near the continental slope west of the Farallon Islands. The very coarse texture and high-backscatter energy is likely to indicate outcropping bedrock.
PDF Version - Figure5e

5f. High-backscatter features located between the Farallon Islands. The very coarse texture and high-backscatter energy is likely to indicate outcropping bedrock. Digitate depression features seen to the northeast.
PDF Version - Figure 5f

6. Isopach map of sediment thickness contoured at 2 m intervals created by Chin and others (1997).
PDF Version - Figure 6


7. Three-dimensional view of the sidescan-sonar and coastal relief image in the Gulf of the Farallones. Elevation range: -3800 (dark blue) - +1450 (light brown)
