Title: Preliminary Quaternary fault and seismicity map of the Wells 1 x 2 degree quadrangle, Nevada
Author: Craig M. dePolo and Seth M. Dee
Year: 2015
Series: Open-File Report 15-11C
Version:
Format: 38 x 33 inches
Scale: 1:250,000
This is one of six 1:250,000-scale preliminary maps showing Quaternary faults and seismicity in northern Nevada. The faults presented are slightly modified from those on Quaternary Faults in Nevada (NBMG Map 167) and the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States and show fault activity by geologic age. The earthquake data set is compiled from a modified earthquake catalog by Slemmons and others (1965) which includes data beginning in the 1840s, earthquakes recorded by the Nevada Seismological Laboratory from 1970 through 2014, and earthquakes recorded by seismic networks in California and Utah. The shaded-relief basemap was created from a 10-meter digital elevation model and is illuminated from the northwest. These preliminary products are an effort to create more informative earthquake hazard maps for decision makers and the public.
