===Map restorations===
Structure maps, like cross sections, can be tested for viability by restoring them to the undeformed state (Barr, 1985)<ref name=Barr_1985>Barr, D., 1985, 3D palinspastic restoration of normal faults in the Inner Moray Firth--implications for extensional basin development: Earth and Planetary Science Letters, v. 75, p. 191-203.</ref>. Provided there are no areas of steep dip, a simple cut-and-paste restoration may highlight areas in the map where faults have been drawn inaccurately. Figure 6b shows a restoration where most of the individual fault blocks can be restored in map view to close up the fault gaps. The areas of overlap require additional redrafting or the collection of additional data.
