INTRODUCTION Open-File
Report 01-449 contains a digital geologic map database of the Steele Peak
7.5’ quadrangle, Riverside County, California that includes: The Correlation
of Map Units and Description of Map Units is in the editorial format of
USGS Geologic Investigations Series (I-series) maps but has not been edited
to comply with I-map standards. Within the geologic map data package,
map units are identified by standard geologic map criteria such as formation-name,
age, and lithology. Where known, grain size is indicated on the map by
a subscripted letter or letters following the unit symbols as follows:
lg, large boulders; b, boulder; g, gravel; a, arenaceous; s, silt; c,
clay; e.g. Qyfa is a predominantly young alluvial fan deposit that is
arenaceous. Multiple letters are used for more specific identification
or for mixed units, e.g., Qfysa is a silty sand. In
some cases, mixed units are indicated by a compound symbol; e.g., Qyf2sc.
Marine deposits are in part overlain by local, mostly alluvial fan, deposits
and are labeled Qomf. Grain size follows f. Even though
this is an Open-File Report and includes the standard USGS Open-File disclaimer,
the report closely adheres to the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S.
Geological Survey. Descriptions of units can |

This illustration is a .jpg non-navigable image of the USGS geologic-map plot of the Steele Peak quadrangle, showing only the area of the map. A full-size, navigable map graphic can be plotted from the PostScript file (stp_map.ps.gz). Note: the full-size plot is approximately 50 x 36 inches, requires a large-format plotter, and is best reproduced at 600 (or greater) dpi. |
