Summary Earthquake epicentres from global, national, regional, local catalogues, and other source material compared and compiled. Data spans an interval from 1534 to 1985. Only data exceeding magnitude-completeness threshold for each region and time period were plotted. Symbols and colours (used in plotting) reveal details of the seismotectonic fabric of North America yet preserve a perspective of historical earthquake occurrence.
