Thanks for that, Canie. I was looking and looking and never found one.

Although, that looks like a preliminary 'guess'. Not that it isn't useful, but it's making an assumption of a single linear fault break where in reality they are more complex than that. The maps I've seen of Lander's and Hector Mine took into account the true nature of the fault break.

Which leads to something else I've not seen for this quake, and that is a finite fault model. It seems that the USGS always has these for quakes of this size. This is a modeling of the slip surface vectors 'reverse engineered' from seismogram data.

To me, logically, these two would go hand in hand to give a detailed model of what moved where and how it affected the area.

Perhaps, these are being reserved for published papers, a reason I can accept. (or maybe it's just a big conspiracy to hide important information that would otherwise panic the public if they knew it? hehehehe)
