Title: Fault and Salt Map of South Louisiana: ABSTRACT

Author(s): W. E. Wallace

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

The 1966 edition of the map which accompanies volume 16 of the G.C.A.G.S. Transactions is on a scale of 1:500,000 with a blue-line print available separately on a scale of 1:250,000. A special effort has been made to obtain and present the most complete record of salt depths ever before assembled in one map. For the first time the faults have been tied across the Sabine River patterns into Texas.

The writer has returned township lines to the map, for more accurate location of details. The outlines of productive areas have been brought up to date as of the summer of 1966. There are no new developments which deserve any special comment. As before, the appearance of many more arcuate patterns and sinuous traces should be noted.
