Earth Fissure Map of the Santa Rosa Wash Study Area: Pinal County, Arizona
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This is one of a series of earth fissure maps prepared by the ArizonaGeological Survey ( AZGS ) in accordance with Ariz. Rev.
Stat. 27-152.01(3). AZGS collected location information from previouslyconducted earth fissure studies, reviewed available
remote-sensingaerial and satellite imagery, and conducted surface siteinvestigations throughout the study area. A reasonable
effort wasmade to identify all earth fissures in the study area. Nonetheless,some fissures may remain unmapped as a result
of one or more ofthe following:1) existing fissures may have been masked by construction oragricultural activities;2) incipient
fissures may lack clear surface expression;3) the surface expression of fissures changes constantly as newearth fissures develop
and old earth fissures fill in.A blank area on the map does not guarantee earth fissures are notpresent. However, blank areas
within the study area boundaryhave been investigated, and no surface evidence of fissures wasfound as of the date of map publication.
Determining the presenceor absence of a fissure at any specific site may require additionalmapping and/or geotechnical analysis.
