AGENCY TYPE OF INFORMATION DESCRIPTION REMARKS USGS Hydrologic maps Hydrologic Investigations Atlases with a principal map scale of 1:24,000; includes water availability, flood areas, surface drainage precipitation and climate, geology, availability of ground and surface water, water quality and use, and streamflow characteristics Some maps show ground water contours and location of wells. USGS Earthquake hazard Seismic maps of each State (started in 1978 with Maine); field studies of fault zones; relocation of epicenters in eastern United States; hazards in the Mississippi Valley area; analyses of strong motion data; state-of-the-art workshops Operates National Strong-Motion Network. National Earthquake Information Service publishes monthly listing of epicenters worldwide. Information is available through ESIC (1-800-USAMAPS).
