Summary

"A lineament analysis was performed to identify and map linear and curvilinear topographic features from 1984 side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) acquired from the U.S. Geological Survey. Most of these lineaments are believed to be bedrock systems and faults; boundaries of lithologic units and geologic zones; stratigraphic features; and other distinctive landforms and drainage features such as glacial features and valleys."
