Geologic maps of the Mount Guyot, Luftee Knob, and Cove Creek Gap 7.5-minute quadrangles, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee and North Carolina
Schultz A. 1999. Geologic maps of the Mount Guyot, Luftee Knob, and Cove Creek Gap 7.5-minute quadrangles, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee and North Carolina. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 99-536. U.S. Geological Survey. Reston, VA
This report was prepared at the request of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) as part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement. Geologic map data from this report and from other quadrangles will be used by GSMNP in the preparation of a digital geologic database and a new l:100,000-scale bedrock and surflcial geologic map of the GSMNP. The geologic maps (Plates 1-3, Figure 1) were prepared by compiling existing geologic data of l:62,500-scale from Hadley and Goldsmith (1963). Contacts and selected structural data were plotted on 1:24,000-scale topographic base maps. These data were then field checked from outcrops along roads and trails. Additionally, off-trail traverses were made in selected areas to delineate the extent and nature of the surficial deposits. Modern debris flows in the Mount Guyot quadrangle were mapped from aerial photographs taken in 1995. These are similar to those mapped by Bogucki (1970) and Schultz (1998) in the Mount LeConte 7.5-min quadrangle. Modern debris flows were mapped in 1998-1999.
