Central United States Earthquakes. 1:1,000,000. USGS, 1991. This map (35.5 x 26") displays earthquakes that have occurred in the central United States during 1974-1991.
The epicenters are shown on a map base obtained from Landsat satellite imagery of the New Madrid Seismic Zone and environs. The epicenter symbol sizes are
scaled into four magnitude categories: magnitudes 1.5-2.0, magnitudes 2.0-3.0, magnitudes 3.0-4.0, and magnitudes greater than 4.0.

Earthquakes in the Central United States: 1699-2002. 1:1,250,000. USGS, 2003. This map (43.x57.) shows that central States, including Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana are among the most seismically active states east of the Rocky Mountains. More than 800 earthquakes are shown on the map, which displays the locations of earthquakes large enough to be felt since 1699. The large-format colored map identifies the infamous New Madrid earthquakes of 1811 and 1812, which by today.s standards would have been disastrous temblors with magnitudes around 7.7. The map also shows many smaller, but still destructive earthquakes including a magnitude 6.3 earthquake that shook eastern Arkansas in January of 1843; a magnitude 6.6 earthquake that shook residents of six states on Halloween morning in 1895 and was centered in southeastern Missouri; and a magnitude 5.4 earthquake that cracked foundations and toppled tombstones in southeastern Illinois in November of 1968. Explanatory text, newspaper headlines, and illustrative graphics surround the map.

Major Earthquakes of the Pacific Northwest. USGS. This map (27 x 18") depicts selected epicenters of strong earthquakes (magnitudes >5.1) that have occurred in the Pacific Northwest. These earthquakes are the result of relative plate motions in the region.
The oceanic Juan de Fuca plate is slowly sliding beneath the continental North American plate at a rate of approximately 4 cm. per year. Base map from Unique Media.
General Reference Map of the 50 States and the USA. 1:4,000,000. USGS, 2001. The National Atlas of the United States now offers a second General Reference Map which allows us the space to include all 50 states at a common scale of 1:5,000,000. Use this map to appreciate Alaska?s tremendous size and expanse. This map can also be used to teach and learn about America?s rivers, lakes, and islands; its high and low elevations; and each State?s area and population.

USA Principal Aquifers map. USGS. 1:7,500,000. This National Atlas map shows the distribution of the principal aquifers that supply ground water to the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The aquifer shown in each geographic area is generally the uppermost principal aquifer for the area. Each principal aquifer is classified as one of six types of permeable geologic material: unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel, semi consolidated sand, sandstone, carbonate rocks, interbedded sandstone and carbonate rocks, and basalt and other types of volcanic rock. Also shown is the general distribution of glacial deposits that contain numerous productive aquifers in the north-central and northeastern parts of the conterminous United States. Major alluvial aquifers along main watercourses are not shown.

Lithotectonic Map of the Appalachian Orogen. 1:1,500,000. USGS & Geological Survey of Canada (2096A). This map represents a compilation of Appalachian geology from Alabama to Newfoundland. The map integrates existing mapping, geochronological data, and multiple other geological data sets from the Appalachian Orogen. The map faces and common legend use colours and alphanumeric codes to identify 39 lithotectonic units and their subdivisions; these units are rock associations that were either deposited or crystallized in the same tectonic setting over a finite period of time.
The lithotectonic units are grouped into three broad realms representing native North American rocks, rocks associated with the Iapetus Ocean, and exotic, peri-Gondwanan, rocks. Examples of representative stratigraphic units are provided for each of the lithotectonic units in the legend. Significant rock types are designated by patterns provided in the key. An inset map depicts the regional distribution of these realms and their first-order components. Acknowledgment of those who made either significant or supplemental contributions is provided in the legend box. 2 sheets.
