The geologic map for Chatham County has been created as a general-purpose map that is applicable to land-related investigations in the earth, environmental and biological sciences. Includes stereonets, two rose diagrams and a correlation diagram, as well as rock unit descriptions. There are two plates: Plate 1 - the county geologic map and Plate 2 - the rock unit descriptions.
