This CD-ROM consists of the shear-wave-velocity map at a scale of 1:75

which is exposed throughout the northern half of the map area

and the upper Navajo Sandstone and younger rocks creating the White Cliffs step of the Grand Staircase on the down-dropped block to the west

while expert trails have sparse descriptions to preserve the adventure

Mosquero, New Mexico - 30x60 Minute USGS Topographic Map Architecture a 25-km-long by 5-km-wide back-valleyThe distinctive characteristic of a topographic map is that the shape of the Earth's surface is shown by contour lines. Contours are imaginary lines that join points of equal elevation on the surface of the land above or below a reference surface, such as mean sea level. Contours make it possible to measure the height of mountains, depths of the ocean bottom, and steepness of slopes. A topographic map shows more than contours. The map also includes
