[GRASSLIST:60] Re: Geology Maps and Grass

[David Finlayson]

The USGS has some great geologic maps online here:

If you aren't familure with proffessional geologic maps, (as opposed
to a geology figure in a journal article) it's worth taking a look at
these. They are very complex projects that challenge the best
cartographic tools available (at any cost).
