Cheryl,

Thank you for your offer, however this map does not cover the area I'm interested in.   On a side note, The town of Gembo seems to be a red herring.  It shows up on a map of the area in a scientific article, but may be an alternate place name or spelling.  With multiple "Gembo"s in Ethiopia, an alternate name might be Lemmu. The coordinates I provided are a more accurate indicator of location.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Kathy,

I have the Geological Map of the Omo River Area 1:500,000 map and it only goes as far east as 37 degrees 30' E.
I am willing to send you a scan if you think it map cover the area of interest.

Subject: Looking for Geology map of area in ethiopia.

All,

I have a patron looking for a geology map of the area 37 degrees 45' E, 5 degrees 31' n by 37 degrees 54'23" E, 5 degrees 22'16" N.  It's a roughly 16km x 16km area centered on Gembo, Ethiopia. I believe the AMS map grid is NB37-10.

The Geological Map of Ethiopia references a "Geological Map of the Omo River Area 1:500,000. Geological compilation by A. Davidson (1985)  that may cover this area.

Does anyone have a copy of this map or geologic map of this area at a similar scale?  We would like to either borrow or get a scan of the area of interest.

Thanks,
