Abstract: Fault and Salt Map of South Louisiana

W. E. Wallace

SUMMARY

The 1966 Edition of this regional map which accompanies the Transactions Volume XVI, is on a scale of 1:500 000 with a blue-line print available separately with 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 into Texas.

Township lines are now added for more accurate location of details. The outlines of productive areas have been brought up to date to July, 1966. There are no new developments which deserve any special comment. The appearance of many arcuate patterns and sinuous traces, is noteworthy. This map is presented with the Transactions without oral discussion or full written text.
