Macroseismic map of the 1934 earthquake. Isoseists interpolated from 806 MSK64 macroseismic intensities compiled in Ambraseys and Douglas (2004). Slump belt was severely affected by liquefactions and slumping (contour from Dunn et al. 1939). Red star is the instrumental epicenter of the main shock from Chen and Molnar (1977). Red polyline with triangles corresponds to the trace of the Main Frontal Thrust that ruptured in 1934 according to Sapkota et al. (2013). In gray, 1934 administrative districts borders and names.
