Precambrian Basement Map of Wyoming: Structural Configuration (2022)

Open File Report 2022-5, Precambrian Basement Map of Wyoming: Structural Configuration, is a statewide map contoured using a 1,000-foot interval. Compiled at the scale of 1:500,000, the map is available for print, can be downloaded as a digital database, or can be viewed through the agency’s Interactive Oil and Gas Map of Wyoming. A brief report accompanies the map and details the study’s methods and results. "Basement" refers to very old crystalline rocks that comprise the core of most mountain ranges and define the structure of the adjacent basins. In Wyoming, basement rocks are Precambrian-age (more than 541 million years old) igneous and metamorphic rocks. Within the basins, and above the Precambrian basement,...

WSGS Geologic Map Collection

The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) publishes geologic maps used in mineral exploration, energy resource development, mitigating geologic hazards, and understanding of local geology. The WSGS distributes these maps on its website as Portable Document Files (PDF), Georeferenced Tagged Image File Format Files (GeoTIFF), Keyhole Markup Language Files (KML), Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles, and as printed paper copies.
