Monroe County, in southeastern West Virginia, hosts world-class karst within carbonate units of Mississippian and Ordovician age. There are at least 412 known caves in the county. Location data for these caves were collected from the West Virginia Speleological Survey (WVASS) Bulletin 22 (Dasher, 2019). Point features were created in ArcGIS Pro for each cave location and were used to make a point density raster. This raster displays the number of cave points per square kilometer.

This inventory was originally created by Okuyama and others (2013) describing the landslides triggered by the M 9.1 Tohoku-Oki, Japan earthquake that occurred on 2011-03-11 at 05:46:24 UTC. Care should be taken when comparing with other inventories because different authors use different mapping techniques. This inventory also could be associated with other earthquakes such as aftershocks or triggered events. Please check the author methods summary and the original data source for more information on these details and to confirm the viability of this inventory for your specific use. With the exception of the data from USGS sources, the inventory data and associated metadata were not acquired by the U.S. Geological...

Monroe County in southeastern West Virginia hosts world-class karst within carbonate units of Mississippian and Ordovician age. Lidar-derived elevation data acquired in late December of 2016 were used to create a 3-meter resolution working digital elevation model (DEM), from which surface depressions were identified using a semi-automated workflow in ArcGIS®. Depressions in the automated inventory were systematically checked by a geologist within a grid of 1.5 square kilometer tiles using aerial imagery, lidar-derived imagery, and 3D viewing of the lidar imagery. Distinguishing features such as modification by human activities or hydrological significance (stream sink, ephemerally ponded, etc.) were noted wherever...
