Abstract
This set of two maps, prepared for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection under the Pilot Monitoring Program, is intended to provide information of geology and geomorphic features of the watersheds of North and South Caspar Creek. The mapping for these areas was done at a scale of 1:12,000. Mapping was based on aerial photograph interpretation, compilation of unpublished data, and limited field reconnaissance. The maps depict significant geologic and geomorphic features of the watersheds including transitional/rotational landslides, debris slides, debris flow/torrent tracks, disrupted, hummocky ground, landslides, and inner gorge areas. The maps also identify relative ages of landsliding.
