Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. Subcropping geology for the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain was compiled and interpreted from available published sources. Formation contacts were interpolated across unmapped areas. Inconsistencies in nomenclature, interpretation, and scale were resolved to the extent possible, although some remain because of differences in mapping resolution among different areas. For more information, see U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1680.
