My app is just about identifying the rock units.  It does show major faults (black lines)

The green at top is granite/granodiorite unit.  The middle is that Newbury Volcanic Complex, and the bottom is Topsfield Granitodiorite.  In the app, you point to the color, and it'll tell you the rock there. 

I don't know about a triple junction of plates.  There's a lot of crumbled plates when the Acadian Orogeny constructed North America.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_orogeny  Mostly we were looking at the results in Vermont, because the one prof specialized in the rocks and rock formation there.

Modeling the Northeast in the 1890s - because the little voices told me to

It's been 6 months, but I restarted actual model building with my old Swift Reefer project per Paul Larson's article in Oct. 1953 Model Railroader:

I'd started the roof several years back, but water-based glue had made the smaller pieces of Northeastern 1/32" scribed sheathing curl. So I got out my next-to-last tube of Ambroid and was pleased with the result.  Then I departed from the article and cut blocks for the ends. They were big enough to stand up to yellow glue.

Today was a rainy day, but I'm not going farther than the next town tomorrow, so maybe more progress.
