The Center for
Earthquake Studies at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape
Girardeau, Missouri, was commissioned by the Central United States
Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC) in July 1996 to develop a catalog
of geologic and seismotectonic maps of the New Madrid Seismic Zone
(NMSZ). The intended users are the general public, elected officials,
emergency managers, planners, engineers, geologists and insurance
professionals who need and desire information regarding seismic
hazards in the New Madrid region.
Each map in the catalog contains 12 descriptive fields. These fields
consist of the following: title of map, author(s), date published,
publication number, publisher / contact agency, map coordinates,
map scale, map sheet size, intended users, region covered, map description,
and limitations. The catalog contains 56 reduced-sized maps. The
various maps include geologic and seismotectonic data for the New
Madrid region, such as seismicity, faults, areas of landslides and
subsurface geology.
These copies are not to scale and are not intended for use in place
of the original maps; they are only provided to demonstrate the
coverage of the individual study areas. These maps are arranged
by geographic area of the coverage ranging from state to regional
scale.
Printing of this catalog was made possible by the generous contribution
of the Employers Reinsurance Corporation (ERC). A GE Capital Services
company, ERC is located at 5200 Metcalf, Overland Park, Kansas 66202.
