This DVD-ROM disc is for use in a computer DVD drive. The files can be accessed from the File Explorer in the same way that you open files from a CD-ROM disc; the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats are functionally the same, but the DVD has more than six times greater storage capacity. Of course, this disc cannot be "played" in a DVD player connected to a television set. It contains computer-formatted data, not video.

USGS Topographic Quadrangle Map - Earthquake Valley, California (Folded/Waterproof)
$9.95
Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and land-use professionals, this Offroute map is a waterproof and tear-resistant version of the most recent USGS paper map published for this area. USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps offer very detailed cartography. This map is one of nearly 54,000 maps it takes to cover 49 U.S. states. Each depicts elevations plus natural and man-made features such as; roads, trails and reservoirs.

USE THE IMAGES ON THIS PAGE TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS THE MAP YOU NEED. We have provided three images to help you. The primary image is actual map imagery from the center portion of this map. The second image shows the entire area this map covers. The third image shows the searchable names and product codes for adjacent maps.

HOW TO SEARCH FOR OTHER MAPS YOU MAY NEED: Names of adjacent maps can be identified for search by using the third image mentioned above. For non-adjacent maps, you will need to follow one of the two methods described below.

TO SEARCH USING THE USGS MAP NAME: Simply use the Amazon search box and type it in like this: Offroute mapname, state. Use this exact format.

TO SEARCH USING A KNOWN LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE: Use available resources to find the degree of latitude and longitude for the area you desire. For example; Yosemite Valley is located at 37 North latitude and 119 West longitude. With the coordinates known, use the Amazon search box and enter it like this: USGS37N119W. Replace only the numeric characters within the string to match the full degree coordinates you're after. This search will return all the maps within that area.

STILL CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT MAP? Find and click the link to contact Offroute Customer Service by phone or email.

Please note that these USGS maps are printed to order. We appreciate your care in determining that the map you order covers the area needed.

21st Century Complete Guide to Earthquake Research: Comprehensive Collection of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Documents with Extensive Coverage of Earthquake ... and Scientific Reference (DVD-ROM)
$29.95
This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on DVD-ROM presents an enormous library of documents and publications covering every aspect of earthquake research. It has full coverage of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) material, with special emphasis on research reports from the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NERHP). About External Research - The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) invites research proposals that will assist in achieving the goals of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NERHP). The goal of NEHRP is to mitigate earthquake losses that can occur in many parts of the nation by providing earth science data and assessments essential for land-use planning, engineering design, and emergency preparedness decisions. The USGS participates in the NEHRP with the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the last having the lead role to plan and coordinate the national effort. In addition to activities performed by USGS staff, expertise in earthquake studies that exist outside the Federal Government is applied through a substantial program of grants, cooperative agreements and/or contracts with universities, state, regional and local government agencies, and private industry. External research is solicited in order to develop information, knowledge and methods which are relevant to the major program elements. Included are reproductions of the annual project summaries from Fiscal Year 1995 through 2004, with extensive links to project and research documents and reports. This incredible DVD-ROM set has over 180,000 pages, much of it reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Macintosh systems. The disc contains nearly 4 gigabytes of material in over 18,000 files! Contents also include: USGS Earthquake Hazards Program ?

Contents include: General Quake Info * Hazards & Preparedness * Earthquake Research Earthquake Hazards - Efforts aimed at defining the location and quantifying the degree of the earthquake hazard. Such information guides planners, businesses and individuals in both avoiding the hazard (choosing where and how to build) and mitigating it (strengthening existing structures and planning for emergency response). Safer Structures, Engineering and Building Codes - Basic information about strong shaking and earthquake engineering. Links to agencies actively studying strong shaking and damages resulting from it, or advancing earthquake engineering, design standards, regulatory provisions, etc. Earthquake Preparedness - Basic information on how to prepare for an earthquake. Links to agencies involved in earthquake preparation and response, from the Federal level to neighborhood response teams.
