Represent the distribution of different types of rock and surficial deposits,

as well as locations of geologic structures such as faults and folds.

-Geologic maps
The oldest preserved geologic map
-Turin papyrus
Created topographic maps for military use of the visited countries (Italy,
France, Germany, the Balkans, and Turkey). Marsigli published a mining
district map in Hungary and sketched the distribution of sulfur near his
hometown
-Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli
British engineer known as a pioneer of stratigraphy, created a very useful
geology maps and illustrated the distribution of rocks on a topographic map
-William Smith (1769),

Classification according to Scale

2. Medium Scale: 1:10,000 1:100,000
3. Small Scale: < 1:100,000
Classification according to Purpose
-Multipurpose & Special Purpose Maps
Classification according to Content
1. Evaluating and giving details of some parameters. (Weathering
Grade, Joint Map, Seismic Hazard).
-Analytical Maps
Maps depicting all principal components of engineering geology
environment.
-Comprehensive Maps
Is a map that contains geological information below the surface. This map
has various scale from 1:50.000 or greater than that.
-Surface Geological Map

Is a map that contains about the discovery of the location of the rock.
These map provide information about rock properties and its structure.
-Outcrop map
Is a map that give information about formation which has been revealed, As
well as the location of the extrapolation of formation is still covered by a
layer of Holocene. This map is usually have scale from 1:100.000 or
smaller than that.
-Overview Geological Map
Is a map which the appearance of the depth lines to explain certain layer
under the surface. This kind of map has a medium to large scale.
-Structure Map
is a map that contains geological data based on topography map.
-Schematic Geological Map
Is a map that contains geological information about natural resources and
potential energy in certain location.
-Thematic Geological Map
Is a map showing the height of a region in the form of contour height
measured against the average sea level.
-Topography Map
is a map which represent lines that connect a formation or a layer with the
same thickness without structural needed. This map generally has a
medium to large scale.
-Isopach Map
is a map creates based on the result of aerial photographs that adapted to
the actual condition on field.
-Photogeological Map

Is a map showing the condition of ground water in certain location and it is

known whether the formation is permeable or impermeable
-Hydrogeological Map

Is used to show an overview of the area that will be mapped.

-Base Map

Is used to measure the strike and dip from a rocks and geological structure.
-Clinometers
