The inferred rupture zone for 1555 is shifted southeast of the reports to account for a possible reporting bias caused by populations in the Kashmir Valley. Black circles with four-letter codes indicate points with pre- and postseismic GPS observations. The white line is the location of the Seeber and Armbruster (1979) cross section in Figure 1.

Solid dots represent epicenters, and huts are seismic stations. Star indicates probable location of the 1905 Kangra earthquake epicenter. The dashed locking line represents the boundary between the coseismic and aseismic deformation based on Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements (Banerjee and Burgmann, 2002) that lay north of the microseismicity belt. Inset polygon represents the study area. The shaded area indicates preferred rupture area (Wallace et al., 2005). Roman numerals indicate the isoseismal lines.

Topographic map of the Kashmir Himalaya (boxed in the inset map of India) showing the locations of earthquakes greater than magnitude 4.5, taken from Engdahl–van der Hilst–Buland (EHB; 1962 to 2007) and National Earthquake Information Center Preliminary Determination of Epicenter (NEIC‐PDE; 2008 to May 2013) catalogs. Earthquakes with magnitude between 4.5 and 5.5 are plotted as open circles and above 5.5 are plotted as stars. The focal mechanism of the 8 October 2005 Muzaffarabad, Pakistan, earthquake (Mw 7.6) and its largest aftershock (Mw 6.4), taken from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor (Global CMT) catalog (see Data and Resources), and that of the 1 May 2013 Kishtwar earthquake (computed in this study) are plotted as beach balls. The epicentral locations of these three events are plotted as stars. The foreshock and aftershocks of the Kishtwar earthquake are plotted as solid circles. The approximate rupture areas of historical earthquakes in 1555, 1885, 1905, and 2005 Muzaffarabad earthquake are plotted as dashed ovals (Avouac et al., 2006; Bilham et al., 2011). The Himalayan thrust faults (MHT, main Himalayan thrust; MBT, main boundary thrust; MCT, main central thrust) and the Salt range thrust are taken from Avouac et al. (2006) and Searle et al. (2007). The locations of broadband seismological stations, being deployed this year, are plotted as triangles. The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.
