Geological Outcrop Maps of the Taconic Allochthon, adjacent Ordovician flysch and melange, and the N. Appalachian fold-thrust belt
    (includes parts of eastern New York, western Vermont, S. Quebec, central Pennsylvania; - locations on Google Earth kmz file)

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 - in some form all of these are now available below;
 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 (some of these are yet to be rescued and posted here).

Most of these maps are unpublished at full scale and detail, and many are on diazo/blueline paper, fading, and deteriorating by acid embrittlement and discolouration.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.
