Original – The Cathedral Peak Granodiorite is the largest unit in the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, which in turn is the largest granitic suite making up Yosemite National Park, as seen in this geologic map of the park.

Reason

Following the previous nomination, I've changed the colour scheme after consultation with Avenue. I've also tweaked the Saddlebag lake area which I hope should now be correct. I firmly believe that the "resolution" is sufficient that the image adds significant encyclopedic value to the article.

• Comment: The Saddlebag Lake area looks fine now. Some minor quibbles:

• The border between the Cathedral Peak Granodiorite and the area below containing the "Mt Lyell" label seems untidy (around x=391px, y=303px). It look like the CPG is overprinting not just the line marking the border, but a small part of the other deposit (Washburn Lake Suite?).
• The "YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK" label seems to obscure the CPG a bit too much IMO, especially its relationship with the TIS enclave near Tuolumne Meadows.

Both things corrected (I could work out a way to keep "Yosemite National Park" at a decent size without obscuring something, so I've moved it off the map itself). Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 09:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

• Support. Much improved from the original nomination, this has good EV in our Cathedral Peak Granodiorite article. There's still some room for improvement, especially with the palette, but it's one of the best geologic maps I've seen on Wikipedia, and I believe it meets the FP criteria. The caption seemed a bit terse; I've tried to improve it.--Avenue (talk) 16:53, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
