It is often necessary to find out whether a landslide exists at a particular Bay Area locale. Homeowners, landscape architects, real estate developers, city planners, building officials, emergency-response personnel, civil engineers, utilities workers, and others all have occasion to know where the landslides are. Because existing old and ancient landslides may be reactivated by severe winter storms (Nilsen and others, 1976), timely availability of information on landslide location can reduce losses of life and property to the region's expanding population (San Francisco Bay Landslide Mapping Team, 1997). This report enables visitors to the USGS Menlo Park library to quickly find the detailed landslide map they need. Access to the proper documents is achieved through a table keyed to standard USGS 7.5' quadrangles‹a proxy for a true index map, plus the library location of each document.
