Description:
Abstract:
A table keyed to 171 topographic quadrangles on a new
1:275,000-scale shaded-relief map speeds access to information on
landslide locations in the ten-county San Francisco Bay region.
Detailed maps showing individual landslides in nearly any area of
interest can be found quickly by knowing only the name of the
appropriate 7.5' quadrangle. The some-80 technical reports that
contain these maps may be consulted in the U.S. Geological Survey's
Menlo Park library collection.
Purpose:
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.
