Abstract:
This map of the La Grande 30' x 60' quadrangle is the culmination of a three-year geologic mapping program partially funded under the U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping program. Geologic data were compiled at a scale of 1:24,000 from a combination of new mapping and published and unpublished data. Mapping was supplemented with numerous XRF geochemical and limited radiometric age determinations. Structural evolution of the La Grande quadrangle is complex and highly conjectural, with structure defined by faults and folds that deformed Miocene and younger rocks. Geologic units record a complex and tectonically active geologic history that began some 250 million years ago. Aggregate in the form of crushed rock and gravel has been the major mineral resource mined in the mapped area. Geologic hazards are most evident along the active margins of the Grand Ronde Valley.
Purpose:
Compilation of an up-to-date geologic map for the La Grande 30' x 60' quadrangle.
Supplemental_Information:
The digital map information for the La Grande geologic map is in the following computer files: map_polygons, map_faults, map_folds. These geographic information system (GIS) files contain spatially referenced line and polygon features linked to attribute information. Please refer to the text that accompanies the map. This geologic mapping project was partially funded under U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Coooperative Geologic Mapping program under assistance award no. 98HQAG2037.

Use_Constraints:
The spatial resolution of this geologic map data is 1:100,000. Users should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. While the digital form of the data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in digital format. At a scale larger than 1:100,000, higher resolution data is not available and will not yield greater real detail.
