Preliminary map of selected post-Nevadan geologic features of the Klamath Mountains and adjacent areas, California and Oregon: A digital database.

Resource Abstract:
description: This map of selected post-Nevadan features is in a sense supplementary to Map I-2148 (Geologic map of the Klamath Mountains, compiled by W.P. Irwin, 1994). The map of selected post-Nevadan geologic features is in large part a compilation of the published work of many geologists (see Fig. 1--Index map showing sources of data). The principal focus of Map I-2148 concerned the assemblage of terranes that constitute the principal bedrock of the Klamath Mountains. The terranes of the Klamath Mountains variously consist of rocks that range from Cambrian to Late Jurassic and perhaps even earliest Cretaceous age. All of these terranes have been subjected to episodes of metamorphism, plutonism, and tectonism, including a major widespread tectonic event which occurred mainly in Jurassic time and which generally is referred to as the Nevadan orogeny. The geologic map database delineates map units that are identified by general age, lithology and clast size following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U. S. Geological Survey. The scale of the source map limits the spatial resolution (scale) of the database to 1:500,000 or smaller.; abstract: This map of selected post-Nevadan features is in a sense supplementary to Map I-2148 (Geologic map of the Klamath Mountains, compiled by W.P.
