This geologic map is modified from Wahrhaftig and Murchey, 1987 after "Geology of the Golden Gate Headlands", an article by William Elder in the field trip guidebook: Geology and Natural History of the San Francisco Bay Area, USGS Bulletin 2188 . The map shows only a portion of the Golden Gate Recreation Area, highlighting the location of images presented in this website.

This website is an image tour of the Marin Headlands and Presidio of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. All images were taken in early March, 2003.

The images are are large (~800 KB each) and may be slow to download.

 

To see the same images as 3-D anaglyphic images, click here. Stereo pairs of digital images were manipulated into anaglyphs (3-D images) with image processing software (Adobe PhotoShop). You will need red-and-cyan stereo viewing glasses to get the 3-D visual effects.
