Theme for the week: Geologic Maps
October 13-20, 2017
Celebrate Geologic Map Day on October 13, 2017!
Welcome to Geologic Map Day, a special event designed to promote awareness of geologic mapping and its vital importance to society.
For more information, follow this link: http://www.earthsciweek.org/geologic-map-day
Come on over to Shields Library to view these amazing maps that shows water-bearing formations, seismic hazard evaluations, coastal erosion, earthquakes, and more! A staff favorite is the 1893 geologic map of the United States. Known surveys of the western states at that time apparently followed the path of the transcontinental railroad.
