Description:This report is a multi-page PDF file that includes a 1:24,000-scale, detailed-reconnaissance, full-color surficial geologic map of the Kingston 7.5-minute quadrangle in northeastern Pennsylvania. The other pages provide map unit descriptions and a discussion of mapping techniques and the Quaternary history of this glaciated area. A table shows the relationship between published soil map units and the units on the report map. Another table lists the locations and orientations of glacial striations, which are also shown on the map. Two sketch maps show (1) regional glacial limits and ice flow directions with respect to the quadrangle location and (2) glacial features in the quadrangle (also shown on the map). The data presented on the surficial geologic map were compiled in an ArcGIS geodatabase. The geodatabase, associated shapefiles, and an ArcMap document are included in the download for this report.
