A Decade of Success Geologic maps are vital tools in the ongoing effort to understand, develop, and protect our national resources. Our Open House exhibit will feature an interactive workstation at which visitors can call up and print geologic maps of their zip codes. After finding the approximate locations of their homes, visitors can then proceed to a rock table and see the types of rocks under their homes and in their zip codes. Geologic mapping aids in discovering and protecting water resources.
Geologic mapping helps to mitigate hazards and save lives.
