The West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey (WVGES) was awarded a $804,840 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) to continue its bedrock mapping program in West Virginia. Over the 2-year award period from September 2024 to August 2026, WVGES will create new, high-resolution 1:24,000-scale geologic maps for multiple quadrangles in the state, as well as develop 2D and 3D geologic visualization models as part of the U.S. GeoFramework initiative. The deliverables from this project will integrate seamlessly into the National Geologic Map Database, supporting the USGS's efforts to build a comprehensive geologic framework for the United States.

Statemap proposal abstract summaryproject title: FY 24 statemap - west virginia project period: 09 01 2024 through 08 31 2026THE west virginia geological and economic survey (wvges) applied for funding through theusgs statemap program to continue its bedrock mapping program in creating new, highresolution bedrock geologic maps within the state of west virginia. Wvges selected multiplemapping areas within the state to align with various priorities that include, but are not limited to, fedmap related work, karst, and completion of areas in support of seamless mapping for theu.s. Geoframework initiative. Over the period of performance, the agency has agreed to createnew, high-resolution geologic maps for the following 1:24,000-scale quadrangle in westvirginia.: mingo cass, greenbank durbin, and laneville as well as equivalent gemsdatabases for edray, hillsboro, and lobelia 24K quadrangles. The deliverables for all the areaslisted above will allow for seamless integration into the national geologic map database. Aspart of the ongoing U.S. Geoframework initiative, the agency will develop status maps for BOTH2D and 3D geologic visualization within the state of west virginia.
