Art Schultz Danielle Denenny Scott Southworth 2005 <p><span>The geology of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP) region of Tennessee and North Carolina was studied from 1993 to 2003 as part of a cooperative investigation with the National Park Service (NPS). This work has been compiled as a 1:100,000-scale map derived from mapping done at 1:24,000 and 1:62,500 scale. The geologic data are intended to support cooperative investigations with NPS, the development of a new soil map by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (</span><a href="http://www.discoverlifeinamerica.org/">http://www.discoverlifeinamerica.org/</a><span>). At the request of NPS, we mapped areas previously not visited, revised the geology where stratigraphic and structural problems existed, and developed a map database for use in interdisciplinary research, land management, and interpretive programs for park visitors.</span></p> application/pdf 10.3133/ofr20051225 en U.S. Geological Survey Geologic map of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park region, Tennessee and North Carolina reports
