    This geologic map depicts the lithology and age of rock units in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt region, which extends from the United States-Mexico border to Guatemala. The map legend identifies various volcanic and sedimentary rock units ranging in age from the Paleozoic to Quaternary periods. These units include volcanic deposits such as lava flows, pyroclastic flows, and ignimbrites as well as non-volcanic sedimentary units. Structural features such as faults and volcanic calderas or craters are also shown. The credits list the geologists who compiled the geology as well as those who designed and edited the GIS version of the map.
