Nearly all geologic maps produced by the Louisiana Geological Survey in the past two decades were prepared originally with support from the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. To date the program has made possible the completion of statewide coverage of 30 × 60 minute geologic quadrangles at 1:100,000 scale with a mix of published lithographs and draft open-file maps, as well as field mapping of selected draft open-file 7.5-minute geologic quadrangles at 1:24,000 scale. These cooperative agreements have led to the discovery and furthered the investigations of previously unknown features of particular geologic interest, including the state’s only known impact crater and numerous surface traces of reactivated growth faults in south Louisiana.
