This dataset is composed of linear active tectonic and other relevant features (scarps, deflected drainages, and lineaments and contrasts in topography, vegetation, and ground color) mapped based on high-resolution topography, aerial/satellite imagery, and field observations. The mapping covers the area surrounding the 2019 Ridgecrest, California earthquake surface ruptures. Point locations of field observations are also included.

These datasets provide remotely mapped lineaments and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico, based on 1-m lidar and satellite imagery data. Some lineaments are interpreted to be Quaternary-active faults, whereas others are interpreted to be older bedrock faults with no evidence for Quaternary movement. Simplified fault traces for interpreted Quaternary-active faults are provided for seismic hazard studies. These datasets are associated with the publication: Thompson Jobe, J.A. and Chupik, C.M., in press, Low-rate faulting on the margin of the Colorado Plateau and Rio Grande Rift in north-central New Mexico: Tectonics.

This dataset provides lineaments remotely observed and interpreted on 1-m lidar data in northern New Mexico. Several types of lineaments were mapped, including scarps, vegetation contrasts, vegetation lineaments, tonal contrasts, tonal lineaments, and topographic lineaments. Some of these lineaments are interpreted to be Quaternary active faults whereas others are interpreted as older bedrock faults.
