With an increase in appropriations, congress recently issued a mandate to the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program to “bring together detailed national and continental-resolution 2D and 3D information produced throughout the Survey and by federal and state partners.” The National Geologic Synthesis project has been charged with a large portion of this task. This ScienceBase Community page is a warehouse of incrementally released components of these national maps as Data Releases. Ultimately these components will be integrated into a unified database that is served to the public.
