Description:

Abstract:

This cover includes seismic refraction lines that have geophysical cross sectional interpretations constraining subsurface structures that may penetrate to hypocentral depths. Lines were gathered from theses, dissertations, and publications.

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:

Latitude and longitude data for end points of lines B1 to B8 were generated from a 200% blow-up of Figure 10, an index map at 1:3.6 million, from Baldwin (1980). Refraction sources were located at 5 coal strip mines. Lengths and vectors of the lines were estimated from the mine sources on the index map and plotted on a 1:100,000 topographic map.
End points of lines HLD and HLB were digitized from Figure 8 in Heigold and Larson (1994).
refrac_all was clipped to the published map boundary to create refrac.
