NEW PUBLICATIONS
New publications are grouped as listed below.
A number of new 1:24,000-scale geologic maps are listed; these were produced under the STATEMAP component of the National Geologic Mapping Act.
Included in these publications are a number of newly released 7.5-minute geologic maps, and other reports and maps that were not previously carried for sale in our map and publication sales office. These publications have been added for the convenience of interested parties.
This is a list of geologic and geophysical maps, mineral resource reports, hydrologic investigations, fieldtrip guidebooks, and miscellaneous (other) reports that we added recently to our publication list.
These publications and maps are available for purchase at our map and publication sales office; check elsewhere on this site for paper and digital topographic map and orthophotography availablity -- including products available on CD-ROM.
The fieldtrip guidebook is from the 1997 Carolina Geological Society field trip to northwestern North Carolina.
Geologic maps produced from the NC Geological Survey are a result of cooperative funding from STATEMAP -- a component of the National Geologic Mapping Act. Others are maps produced by the US Geological Survey and carried as a convenience to interested parties.
