Interactive Map Service Pages

The Interactive Map Service (IMS) is available on Windows and Unix operating systems with browser version greater than or equal to 4.5. On Macintosh, you can use Firefox, Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer versions greater than 4.5. The Safari brower does not work well. Please see special Mac tips below.

The Interactive Map Service is a dynamically generated service, and therefore cannot be constructed to supply accessibility to physically challenged internet users. The IMS is exempt from Section 508 Accessibility per USGS guidelines Please read our statement on accessibility. We have provided a static map version of the web pages; please go to Map Search or Text Search. If you have trouble accessing this information, please contact us.

A 'bookmark' to the viewer.html page will not load the next time you return to the site - edit the bookmark to http://gldims.cr.usgs.gov/qfaults/ instead.

When using the software, please notice the text tags that will appear as you hold your cursor over a tool or map area. These text tags will let you know what the tool does and what links are available. Text description of a tool also appears in a window below the map. Please look at the help page for information about the tools. On the table of contents (right side bar), turn layers on or off. Refresh the map to view the changes.

We hope enjoy the features available on the IMS server. If you have difficulty, please let Susan Rhea know and she may be able to help you.

EXTRACT

Data from the faults and fault areas layers can be extracted. All other layers have been disabled. We do not create the basemap data and so do not provide it. The locations of trenches on faults are not released, as some are on private property. All have been closed after examination and mapping. Please see the reports about these features.

Data in the view you see on the screen will be extracted, zipped and saved to your machine. These are in shapefile format. Data is in geographic coordinates.

MAC TIPS

Not all functions within the browsers work on the Macintosh platform, but the most commonly used ones do. With Netscape, I have found if the map view does not appear (you see a white screen with the title "Loading Viewer"), click the 'reload' button on the browser navigation bar several times until the map loads. (Once the screen shows a gray background, the map is loading.)
