This 1:24,000-scale map focuses on the area surrounding the potential high-level nuclear wast repository site at Yucca Mountain. Its purpose is to define the character and extent of the dominant structural features in the vicinity of and outward from the potential repository area. The Yucca Mountain Project currently is evaluating the cumulative effect of natural geologic hazards in the site area, including seismic and volcanic hazards.
