The Geologic Mapping program produces printed and digital geologic maps, most at 1:100,000 and 1:24,000 scales. Mapping priorities are set each year by a State Mapping Advisory Committee representing the main land management agencies in the state. Program goals are to complete 1:100,000 scale maps by 2018 and map selected areas at 1:24,000 in the rapid urban growth areas as priorities dictate. Maps provide detailed geologic information needed for proper land use decisions.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $379,600 from all sources for Geologic Mapping. This is a 64.2 percent reduction from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources. The total includes $64,500 from the General/Education Funds, a reduction of 10.5 percent from revised Fiscal Year 2015 estimates.
