Geology & Landforms Atlas

These plates distinguish generalized Quaternary geology from bedrock contacts, glacial-landsystem boundaries, and Critical Dune Areas. They are a guide to the scale and source of each layer, not a parcel, subsurface, or regulatory determination.

For the evidence ledger and interpretive limits, read geology and landforms.
