Geological Outcrop Maps in the Appalachian Orogen
Vermont, S. Quebec, Maine, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, N. Carolina
  [Google Earth kmz file showing map locations]

for maps in and adjacent to the areas of the Taconic Allochthons of the western margin of the orogen
 in New York, Vermont, S. Quebec, and Pennsylvania, use this link

Many of these formed part of the MS thesis or PhD dissertation of the authors of these maps in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University at Albany;
 some are from senior undergraduate or graduate independent study projects,
 or from compilation of information obtained in the field while supervising the Albany Geological Mapping field camp.

Most of these maps are unpublished, and many are on diazo/blueline paper, fading, and deteriorating by acid embrittlement and discolouration. The files linked represent an attempt to preserve these data (especially the outcrop locations, and the lithological, stratigraphic, and structural information), the product of much sweat, hard work, and intellectual effort in the imperfectly exposed and geologically complex region of the New York-New England Appalachians.
