Mapping Milestones
The goals for this website are to catalog completed geologic maps and to help track the progress of currently funded maps for the author and for the community. For each map there is a defined status (or milestone). As the map progresses from the original funded status to completion, the USGS map coordinator will update the status. The mapping coordinator will also define individuals with the different allowable roles (from PI to reviewers). Roles will also be assigned for those working on the map. The major milestones for each map are shown below:| New Category | step | Milestone |
