I have data sets of the strike of multiple joints. Additionally, I have the data set for the dip of the joint plane. I would like to know about the plotting of this data on a geological map. Each location has two to three sets or joints (or even more). The density of the location is also very high (I have lots of location and its data). Can anyone share some literature where this kind of data is shown and interpreted?
you can go in this two link

One of the solutions is to plot joints on stereonet diagrams and attach them to geological map e.g. https://www.intechopen.com/source/html/37860/media/image9.jpeg
Try any 3D program ...just a suggestion...AUTOCAD...not sure will work ...or GIS if you can transfer data there

You can plot your data on stereonets and rose-diagrams for each location or any other way that fits your purpose. You can use any of the many programs that you can find online (some have already been suggested) to create your diagrams. Then you can add the diagrams on your map. Alternatively or additionally you can use the appropriate geological symbol and plot your structures (or the average orientation) on your map directly. See this for an example: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322438484_Contribution_of_geological_mapping_in_road_construction_an_example_from_Veria_Kozani_national_road_Kastania_area
The interpretation of your data is a more complex task and it depends on the purpose of your investigation, the knowledge of the regional geology, the quality of your data etc.
