Description:

Abstract:

The structure of and depth to the floor of the Mississippi Valley and Rough Creel Grabens and surrounding regions were interpreted from aeromagnetic data. This cover contains the depth contours for the region within this study area and was clipped from the larger cover.
This cover was not plotted in the Wabash Valley map series, but is included for those users who are interested in comparing the depth to basement from geologic data (bcontours and bfaults) to the depth to magnetic rocks (usually basement) from geophysical data. Depth units in this cover are kilometers below sea level, whereas depth units in bcontours are in thousands of feet below sea level.

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_Step:

Process_Description:

Coordinate and depth records were received via email from Hildenbrand and converted to arc/info format by Rhea. Resulting arcs were smoothed by changing weed tolerance and using generalize and spline commands. Replication from original data probably not possible, although close approximations should be realizable.
Arcs have Hildenbrand's original depth to magnetic basement values, determined from extensive analysis and modeling.
Rhea converted the arc coverage to a polygon coverage so that depth bands could be shaded. Depth values intermediate to the adjacent contour lines were added by Rhea .
