Description:
Abstract:
Geology of Coastal Mississippi was created for use as a general reference to the surface/subsurface units depicted in the Geologic Map of Mississippi as Quaternary Coastal Deposits. This data provides a more localized and indepth view of the units. Map scale is suitable for 1:150,000.
Purpose:
To highlight the different geologic units in Coastal Mississippi not shown on the Mississippi Geologic Map
Supplemental_Information:
This work was a joint effort between the Mississippi Office of Geology and Ervin Otvos of the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory and represents a "research purpose" map
