STATEMAP

mapping status

Download large Status Map with quadrangle labels PDF icon
The STATEMAP program is a matching grant from the US Geological Survey (USGS) allowing WVGES to create new, detailed geologic maps for resource assessment, environmental studies, and land use determinations at a scale of 1:24,000. The 2024 STATEMAP fact sheet PDF icon (PDF) shows quadrangles mapped with STATEMAP funds, benefits of the program to West Virginia, and a table listing grants received from the USGS along with our matching funds. This image supplements the map in the STATEMAP fact sheet by providing details specific to digitized map status. STATEMAP is a component of the National Cooperative Mapping Program.

All STATEMAP maps, cross sections, and reports of investigation are available as open files in paper or digital (PDF) format. Newer maps also have GIS shapefiles or geodatabases available as well. Older maps may only be in black and white until we update them. Please call us at (304) 594-2331 or search our Publications Catalog to obtain these or any of our publications. You can locate a quadrangle name with our interactive topographic map index or the large Status Map PDF icon as a PDF. The overall Plan for Geologic Mapping in West Virginia PDF icon (PDF, several MB) details WVGES' bedrock mapping priorities for the next five to ten years.

The National Parks Service (NPS) contracted WVGES to map the surficial and bedrock geology of three NPS units in southern West Virginia: Bluestone National Scenic River, Gauley River National Recreation Area, and New River Gorge National River.

STATEMAP deliverables are published by WVGES as Open-File (OF) Reports. You can search these products through our Publications page, order paper copies from us, and request digital copies through the link below.
