What does this data set describe?

Title:
Framework geologic map and structure sections along the Bartlett Springs Fault Zone and adjacent area from Round Valley to Wilbur Springs, northern Coast Ranges, California
Abstract:
This geologic map database and cross sections presents a compilation of published and unpublished and new geologic mapping by the authors. The map database depicts the general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits in the mapped area and provides a context for interpreting the evolution of active faults in the region. Together with the accompanying PDF file, it provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area covered. The database delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Why was the data set created?

This database and accompanying plot files depict the distribution of geologic materials and structures at 1:100,000 scale. The report is intended to provide geologic information for the regional study of materials properties, earthquake shaking, landslide hazards, mineral potential, seismic velocity, and earthquake faults. In addition, the report contains new information and interpretations about the regional geologic history and framework. However, the scale of this report does not provide sufficient detail for site development purposes. In addition, this map does not take the place of fault-rupture hazard zones designated by the California State Geologist. Similarly, although numerous landslides are mapped, the database does not identify or delineate all landslides in the map area or their present states of activity.
