SP-57 Tourist Guide to Colorado Geology

Details

Come tour Colorado! This poster-sized publication that comes folded as a roadmap features a large generalized geologic highway map of the state and numerous smaller geology-related maps, including points of geologic interest. The smaller maps also include the topography and physiography, mineral and energy resources, distribution of rocks and mineral deposits, earthquakes and young faults of Colorado, along with official Colorado geologic symbols, and a geologic time scale.
