Re: Question - just curious |
On the Old, "drab" map, down below the graphic, is a link titled " . . . including new CA-NV pages at - http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm If you follow that link you still get the old-style map, but now, at the top, is text and link reading "Other Maps: Recent earthquakes with fault and topographic information". If you click on that, voila! You get the topographic info. Interestingly, if you go to http://quake.usgs.gov/ and then click on the "USA" choice under "Real Time Earthquake Maps", (toward upper left of the page), you get a national map which, if you click on California or Nevada brings up a page similar to our old-style Cal-Nev page in boundaries and legend - but the topographic coloration is much richer in color and more distinct than the other "new" map's. And the only faults shown are "Plate Boundaries", which, of course, is just the SAF. And you get roads.
