About CGS Geologic Mapping
The California Geological Survey prepares geologic maps in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. Geologic mapping priorities are established by the California State Geologist and the California Geologic Mapping Advisory Committee.
We begin with 7.5 minute quadrangles at 1:24,000 scale. We compile those into 30-by-60 minute quadrangles at 1:100,000 scale, which retain all of the detail of the 7.5 minute quadrangles. When an entire 30-by-60 minute quadrangle is compiled, reviewed, and approved, we release it into our official
California Regional Geologic Map series.
The maps on this page are considered preliminary. We make digital versions of preliminary maps available so you may have timely access to the information. You can download them using the links provided below.
Please note, preliminary maps are available as PDF files only. Printed versions are not available.
