You'll find that aside from a few standard features, no two geologic maps are quite the same, with each having different style and substance. Let's continue to learn about geologic maps by answering some questions about the geology of Arizona. This map covers the geology of the entire state of Arizona, and has a slightly different layout than the previous map.
