Geologic maps depict the composition, structure and physical nature of geologic materials found in a portion of the Earth (Figure 1). The region depicted may lie at the Earth's surface or some depth below the surface. For surface geology, they typically show the bedrock geology with the soil omitted. Geologic maps are constructed on a variety of scales ranging in size from a small mining district to an entire continent to the whole Earth's surface.

Generalized geologic map of the Atka Volcanic center on Atka Island in the Aleutian arc.

The use of geologic maps is critical in locating, evaluating, and mitigating or preventing all types of geologic hazards.. Thus, an understanding of this important tool is critical to understanding geologic hazards and their potential impacts on humans..
