D.S. Aitken, S.C. Harmsen, Paia Levine, T.M. McCulloch, D.A. Ponce and J.C. Shulters provided invaluable computer and other technical assistance in compiling an earlier preliminary version of this map. H.R. Covington generously provided unpublished fault data and identified faults that have moved in response to recent nuclear weapons testing. M.C. Reheis and K.M. Haller kindly supplied stable-base copies of their published lineament and fault map data, respectively, which allowed for hand digitization of the data by M.F. Duncan. David Vonseggern (Univ. of Nevada, Reno) provided invaluable digital catalogs of historical and SGBSN earthquake events. This compilation benefited significantly from discussions with H.R. Covington, S.C. Harmsen, M.E. Meremonte and P.P. Orkild. We gratefully acknowledge improvements to the map resulting from critical reviews by R.E. Anderson, C.G. Bufe, H.R. Covington, D.W. O Leary, and M.W. Reynolds.
