Where readers ask and we try to answer:
Can you tell me how I can get a map of all the SF neighborhoods that would show me what areas are bedrock vs. landfill.
Thanks,
C
First, you’ll want to know your Seismic Hazard Zones.
Then, you’ll want to get in there a bit further and really have a look. You can find this map at http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/sfgeo/liquefaction/susceptibility.html.
Here is another liquefaction map that you can also peruse. This one you can zoom in to street level. Remember, red=bad.
Hope this helps. I’m sure there are some readers that might even know of better maps, so let’s hope they chime in.
Thanks for reading and thanks for asking.
