Known Hazardous Faults and Fault Zones Shown on Maps

Faults shown come from a preliminary database of faults for the US, courtesy of Mike Machette and Richard Dart of the U.S. Geological Survey .

We have plotted only faults that are known to have been active during or after the Late Quaternary period (approximately the last 130,000 years).
