Figure 2b. Section of the 1:500,000 scale state surficial geology map showing the area near Cumberland Center. Compare this simplified and generalized pattern with that shown on the 1:24,000 surficial geology map (Figure 2a). Note that many of the smaller units have been eliminated at this scale and the contacts have been smoothed.
