Cochran, eds.), 2015, California State Waters Map Series\u2014Offshore of Bodega Head, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015\u20131140, pamphlet 39 p., 10 sheets, scale 1:24,000, https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3133\/ofr20151140.  Marine geology and geomorphology was mapped in the Offshore of Bodega Head map area, California, from approximate Mean High Water (MHW) to the 3-nautical-mile limit of California'\u0080\u0099s State Waters. Offshore geologic units were delineated on the basis of integrated analyses of adjacent onshore geology with multibeam bathymetry and backscatter imagery, seafloor-sediment and rock samples, digital camera and video imagery, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles.",
