GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND PART OF THE PIEDMONT IN GEORGIA

Geologic mapping over the past 35 years, by ourselves and others, has been compiled into one map presented here at 1:200,000 in order to fit it into poster-panel space. The geologic map covers the western Blue Ridge in Georgia and the Piedmont in all or parts of the Athens, GA, Atlanta, GA, Dalton, GA-TENN-N.C., Griffin, GA, LaGrange, GA-ALA, Opelika, ALA-GA, Macon, GA, Milledgeville, GA, Thomaston, GA, and Toccoa, GA-S.C.-N.C. 1-100,000-scale USGS topographic maps. Geologic mapping used in the compilation is mostly detailed and/or detailed reconnaissance, where detailed means all roads, all major streams, and some contacts are walked, and detailed reconnaissance means all roads and some major streams were walked or closely examined.
