This surficial unit map is at a scale of 1:12,000 on a topographic base with a 40-foot contour interval. The map includes map unit descriptions, soil sample data for selected sites, description of weathered-rock slide maps and cross section units and slide movement inferred from tree ring analysis for the Toxaway River Slide, slope movement and surficial map unit contacts, and five cross sections. Gorges State Park is located on the Reed 7.5-minute quadrangle.(See also accompanying publication -- Geological map series 10A). 

Merschat, Carl E., Carter, Mark W., and Wooten, Richard M. 2003. Bedrock geologic map of Gorges State Park, Transylvania County, North Carolina (purchase). Geological map series 10A. North Carolina Geological Survey: Raleigh. Price: $11.00.  PDF

This geologic map is at a scale of 1:12,000 on a topographic base with a 40-foot contour interval. The map includes rock unit descriptions, stream sediment heavy mineral analysis, whole rock ICP analysis of selected samples, a sketch map showing metamorphic and igneous conditions, one cross section, mineral resources, and stereographic analysis of structural elements. Gorges State Park is located on the Reed 7.5-minute quadrangle.(See also accompanying publication -- Geological map series 10B).
