Two New Interactive Maps From the Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources

The Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources has announced two new applications available through its new Geologic Information Portal.

One application is called The Washington Interactive Geologic Map and "provides access to geologic mapping at several scales, earthquake and tsunami hazard mapping, and earth resource information."

The other application, called Earth Resources Permit Locations, "provides access to oil and gas exploration drillhole locations and surface mine reclamation permit sites."

In addition to base information such as highways, cities and towns, USGS quadrangles, county boundaries, rivers and Public Land Survey data, other layers show geologic features, aerial photography, and site locations. More layers are to be added in the future.

The Geologic Information Portal has been added to the Resources for Prospectors section of the right-hand sidebar.
