Description
This publication is part of a series of open-file reports (OF 96–01 through OF 96–18) on the surficial geology of 18 quadrangles in York, Lancaster, and Chester Counties in southern Pennsylvania. Each report includes a 1:24,000-scale, black-and-white surficial geologic map of its quadrangle and a text that is shared with the other reports. Some of the main text topics are bedrock geology, geomorphology, surficial deposits, geologic history, mineral resources, and environmental aspects. Each map was based on limited fieldwork and interpretation of aerial photographs. The map for this report shows the surficial geology of the York 7.5-minute quadrangle in York County. The mapped units include artificial fill; alluvium; colluvium; alluvium and colluvium, undivided; several bedrock and colluvium units, undivided; carbonate residuum; rock upland; and rock.
