Trout Run 7.5-Minute Quadrangle

Open-File Report OFSM–07–11.0: Surficial Geology of the Trout Run 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Lycoming County

The open-file report includes text, data tables, and a geologic map. The supporting GIS datasets are provided as separate downloads. Information from this geologic dataset was gathered and interpreted as part of a cooperative Statemap project between the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey (Middletown, Pa.), and Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.

“Open-file” reports are informal releases to allow quicker public access to geologic data. Open-file reports have been reviewed for conformity with the open-file publication guidelines of the Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey. They typically have not gone through a formal editorial review process. In terms of technical and geological content, the standards for preparation of texts for informal release should not vary in quality, accuracy, or precision from the standards applied to similar geologic texts destined for formal publication. Open-file reports also may be released when the information is expected to be updated frequently, or when a limited audience is expected. Open-file reports are compiled by Survey staff and/or outside cooperators.

This report has not undergone external peer review.
