Geologic Map of California

California Geology - Maps

To find maps on California geology, determine the name of the quadrangle you are interested in.

Also, consult the LibGuide on maps here.  Here, you will find many online resources to digital geologic and topographic maps.

For example, in the catalog, search for "Pasadena quadrangle." Next, click on "All filters," then go to 'Source types,' and then check 'Maps.' Then hit 'Apply'. (You can leave 'Caltech Has It' on by default).
