Theme for the week: Geologic Maps

October 13-20, 2017

Celebrate Geologic Map Day on October 13, 2017!

Welcome to Geologic Map Day, a special event designed to promote awareness of geologic mapping and its vital importance to society.

For more information, see Earth Science Week: Geologic Map Day.

Come on over to Shields Library to view these amazing maps that shows water-bearing formations, seismic hazard evaluations, coastal erosion, earthquakes, and more!  A staff favorite is the 1893 geologic map of the United States.  Known surveys of the western states at that time apparently followed the path of the transcontinental railroad.
