Vermont Geological Survey Bulletins

9/6/2011: Bulletins were lost during the flood. Please view maps and text on-line. A Bulletin consists of illustrated text with geologic maps and cross-sections. Most bulletins focus on bedrock geology. Maps are at a scale of 1:62,500. Exceptions to this format are noted.
Georeferenced map images for VGS Bulletins, Environmental Series, and original surficial maps are on line at: http://geothermal.isgs.illinois.edu/ArcGIS/rest/services/aasggeothermal. Once at the site, click on the VT file name and you will be given options to download ArcGIS Explorer then view the files or to view files in ArcGis.com (this clickable link is recommended and will bring the map up), both are free from ESRI. At the bottom of the page you can also create a kml file, then view in Google Earth.
