What's New for California

April 2010: California Geological Survey releases new State Geologic and State Fault Activity Maps.
More than 100 years have passed since the preparation in 1891 of the 1:750,000 scale Preliminary Mineralogical and Geological Map of the State of California. The 2010 editions of the Geologic Map of California and the Fault Activity Map of California are the latest in the series of statewide geologic maps published by the State, and represent a step forward in the mapping and understanding of California's diverse geology.
