Geologic Mapping, including STATEMAP Projects

This page provides links to two active mapping projects at the WVGES: STATEMAP and the Coalbed Mapping Project

STATEMAP

The STATEMAP project creates new, detailed geologic maps for resource assessment, environmental studies, and land use determinations at a scale of 1:24,000. The 2011 STATEMAP fact sheet (PDF 193 KB) shows areas mapped under the STATEMAP program, benefits of the program to West Virginia, and a table of funding received from the U.S. Geological Survey as well as our matching funds. The image shown below supplements the map contained within the STATEMAP fact sheet by providing details specific to digitized map status. STATEMAP is a component of the National Cooperative Mapping Program.

Many of the STATEMAP maps, cross sections, and reports of investigation are available as open files. You can locate each quadrangle with our interactive topographic map index.

The overall Plan for Geologic Mapping in West Virginia (PDF, 3.76 MB) is available for review.
