The Harrison 1 deg X 2 deg quadrangle in southwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas and the Joplin 1 deg X 2 deg quadrangle in southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri were studied under the Conterminous United States Mineral-Resource Assessment Program (CUSMAP). Map publications in the CUSMAP folios included bedrock geology, subsurface geochemistry, geophysics, subsurface stratigraphy and lithofacies, and potential resources of metallic and industrial minerals and coal. This report summarizes the contents of those publications and related studies.
