This dataset represents a digital version of U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1183, Landslide Overview Map of the Conterminous United States. The map and digital data delineate areas in the conterminous United States where large numbers of landslides have occurred and areas which are susceptible to landsliding. Because the data are highly generalized, owing to the small scale and the scarcity of precise landslide information for much of the country, they are unsuitable for local planning or actual site selection. This National Atlas data set was previously distributed as Digital Representation of the Landslide Overview Map of the Conterminous United States.

This National Atlas data set was previously distributed as Digital Representation of the Landslide Overview Map of the Conterminous United States. These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:4,000,000-scale data. *** NOTE April 2017, MARIS clipped out MS portion of this data set for distribution *****
Damon Sather and Jonathan Godt performed the laborious task of integrating the thematic data with the National Atlas coastline data.
