Suggested citation: DeWolf, F. W., 1929, New Castle quadrangle—Geology and mineral resources: Pennsylvania Geological Survey, 4th ser., Atlas 5, 238 p., web edition.
Description: Detailed report on the geology and mineral resources of an area of approximately 239 square miles in western Pennsylvania (see index map above). The report consists of a 238-page text and 18 plates, including 5 maps at 1:62,500 scale. Major text topics include stratigraphy, structural geology, and detailed economic geology. Note: Because this report was published in 1929, the base map and some of the geologic information are out of date.
Location:
Counties: Lawrence and Beaver
7.5-minute quadrangles: Beaver Falls, Bessemer, East Palestine (Pa. portion), New Castle South, New Galilee, and New Middletown (Pa. portion)
15-minute quadrangles: New Castle and Columbiana (Pa. portion)
