Description:

Abstract:

This cover consists of surface and near-surface faults compiled by the Illinois Basin Consortium in a multiyear project. This part of the project ended around 1994 and resulted in a publication by the Gas Research Institute. The report, cited in a cross-reference, contains a paper map titled "Major structural features of the Illinois Basin." We received a digital copy of the map in dxf format, and edited it to include only the faults.
Our intent is to show the overall pattern of faults, and to show the location of the main exposed and near-surface faults for comparison to deep subsurface structures. We made little attempt to edit details of the digitized faults, beyond adding tick marks to indicate dip directions of a few normal faults. For details such as exact locations, fault dips, separations, and crosscutting relations, users should consult the original geologic maps cited in the Gas research Institute publication.

Purpose:

The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574, available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0574/

Process_Description:

Original arc/info coverage in UTM projection received via email from Glenn Bear, Ph.D. student at Indiana University Department of Geological Sciences. Clipped to project boundary. Coverage overlapped larger scale Paducah quadrangle and Kentucky state geologic map, so erased coverage within boundaries of these two larger scale coverages.
