EXPLANATION

Contact

Fault—Dashed where inferred or approximately located; dotted where concealed; bar and ball on downthrown side. Faults shown as bounding alluvium do not offset alluvium. Number is estimated displacement in feet

Folds—Showing trace of axial surface and direction of plunge; dotted where concealed

Monocline—Dashed where approximately located

Strike and dip of beds

Inclined—Measured in the field

Implied—Interpreted from aerial photographs; dip amount not determined

Strike of vertical and subvertical joints

Sinkhole—Enclosed depression or cave

Flow direction of basalt

Volcanic vent

Fracture—Open fracture without offset

Offset fracture—Open fracture with offset
