Arizona Geological Survey, Geologic Highway Map of ArizonaPrinted on two sides, this colorful map is full of fascinating information for both the beginning amateur and the professional geologist. The main attraction is the geologic map of the whole state, with the highways 
somewhat more emphasized (and labeled) than you would find on a standard geologic map. (See sample image at right.) Each type of surface rock is distinctly colored as in typical geologic maps, and a key at the side describes the composition of each "Geologic Map Unit." On the same side as the main map (and keyed to it) are geologic cross sections of seven diverse areas of the state showing "a geologist's interpretation of the subsurface geometry and thicknesses of different rock types." There are also four columnar sections, accompanied by explanatory text. Additional text tells how to interpret a geologic map and background on the geologic setting of Arizona. This is all on the first side!

This is all on the first side!On the reverse, you get a 14 x 17 inch computer-generated shaded relief map of the state, with elevations emphasized by color tints. You also get many smaller maps: A set of four Arizona geologic history maps which show the state in the context of the North American continent; a map of Geologic Hazards in Arizona; a tectonic map of Arizona; a map of the state's vegetation biotic communities; a map of mineral resources of Arizona; and a geologic map of the most visited and viewed area of the Grand Canyon (the South Rim/ Bright Angel area). The latter is accompanied by an illustration of central Grand Canyon stratigraphy. All of these maps are accompanied by detailed explanatory text.
Scale of main map, 1:1,000,000 (1 inch = about 16 miles). Size of full map: about 47½ x 26 inches. Folded. Printed on waterproof plastic.

Arizona Geological Survey, Geologic Wall Map of ArizonaThe official state geologic map depicts and describes the geology of Arizona. About 60% of the sheet is covered by the map itself. The remaining 40% is a detailed explanatory key to the colorful rock formation symbols. The map is printed on one side only. This is similar to the highway geologic map above, but shows shaded relief to emphasize the form of the topography, and does not depict the highways so boldly.
Scale, 1: 1,000,000 (1 inch = about 16 miles). Size: about 39 x 27 inches. Glossy paper. Folded.

Geologic Map of Navajo and Apache Counties, ArizonaPrepared by Eldred D. Wilson, Richard T. Moore, and Robert T. O'Haire. The county map series gives you more detail than 
the state maps, and have topographic contour lines which the full state geologic maps do not have, but are not as up-to-date. The coverage of each map stops at the county line. They are printed on one side only. This map shows the two counties that form the northeastern corner of the state, and include much of the Navajo and Hopi Reservations and the White Mountains. See sample at right.

Note: All copies available may have faint wear and tears at the folds and edges. Though just purchased direct from AZGS, they look as though they were a part of the original printing made ca. 1960.
Grand Canyon Association Geologic Map of the Eastern Part of the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Coverage ranges from Havasu Creek in the west to Tatahatso Point (at western rim of Marble Canyon) in the northeast, and Desert View and Cedar Mountain in the southeast, and including the South and North rims—the part of the park most often visited. The actual boundary lines are 111E45' W longitude, 112E45' W longitude, 36E28' N latitude, and 36E N latitude. Several geologic cross sections of key areas are included at the bottom of the map, as is also a detailed key to geologic units. Compiled in cooperation with the US Geological Survey.Scale, 1:62,500 (1 inch = about 1 mile). Contour interval: 80 feet. Size: about 60 x 42 inches. Rolled. Paper.

Grand Canyon Association, San Francisco Volcanic Field posterThis is not a true geologic map, but is of special interest to geologists. It is a dramatic computer-generated shaded relief map of north-central Arizona. If you visit Grand Canyon via Williams or Flagstaff, you can hardly miss the numerous mountains in the area, but you may not realize that they are volcanic! Cinder cones, lava domes, and even the huge strato-volcano known locally as San Francisco Peaks (but San Francisco Mountain to geologists) make up the region’s landscape, and if it weren’t for the presence of that immense gorgeous ditch to the north, would be the main source of northern Arizona’s appeal.
This poster shows the hundreds of features in the 2800 square-mile region in striking detail. Major roads and towns have been added, and major features are named. Informative text describes the features. An inset shows the actual extent of volcanism, with approximate dates of activity. Three photos show examples of the three types of volcanoes.
Scale, 1:146,897 (1 inch = about 2.3 miles). Size: about 38 x 26 inches. Rolled. Glossy paper.

Grand Canyon Association Satellite Image of the Grand Canyon Region
This is not a true geologic map, either, but is also of special interest to geologists. This is a striking composite image covering about 34,000 square miles, showing all of Grand Canyon and the adjacent areas. Extends a bit farther west than Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, as far south as Needles and Sedona, and northeast to lower Lake Powell. Within this region are also Kingman, Flagstaff, Williams, St. George, and Fredonia. Rather than use natural colors, this image uses false colors enhanced to convey extra information about the landscape. (See detail at right.) Features distinguished by colors include snowfields, bodies of water, vegetation, and rock types. The routes of major roads have been overprinted. Only a few towns and reservoirs are labeled in order to avoid distracting you from appreciating the details in the image.At the right side of the poster are several descriptive paragraphs about the image and landscape. A schematic cross-section shows the basic geology of the region. Prepared by staff at the US Geological Survey in Flagstaff in conjunction with Grand Canyon Association.
Scale, 1:460,000 (1 inch = about 7¼ mile). Size: about 38 x 26 inches. Rolled. Glossy paper.
