Plate II of II.5 April 2000 Revision
Cross sections are constructed based upon the interpretations of theauthors made from geologic mapping, and available geophysicaland subsurface (drillhole) data. Cross sections should be used as anaid to understanding the general geologic framework of the maparea, and not be the sole source of information for use in locating ordesigning wells, buildings, roads, or other man-made structures.
