Geologic Map of the Estes Park 30' x 60' Quadrangle, North-Central Colorado
The rocks and landforms of the Estes Park 30 x 60 minute quadrangle display an exceptionally complete record of geologic history in the northern Front Range of Colorado. The Proterozoic basement rocks exposed in the core of the range preserve evidence of Paleoproterozoic marine sedimentation, volcanism, and regional soft-sediment deformation, followed by regional folding and gradational metamorphi
Surficial Geologic Map of the Death Valley Junction 30' x 60' Quadrangle, California and Nevada
This surficial geologic map of the Death Valley Junction 30' x 60' quadrangle was compiled digitally at 1:100,000 scale. The map area covers the central part of Death Valley and adjacent mountain ranges - the Panamint Range on the west and the Funeral Mountains on the east - as well as areas east of Death Valley including some of the Amargosa Desert, the Spring Mountains and Pahrump Valley. Shaded
Geologic Map of the Elkhorn Quadrangle, Park County, Colorado
The Elkhorn thrust is defined by the juxtaposition of Early and Middle Proterozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks against Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks. Within the mapped area, an imbricate frontal thrust system juxtaposes Upper Cretaceous rocks against Paleocene rocks of the South Park Formation. In the southeastern section of the quadrangle, Middle Proterozoic igneous rocks are thrust over the Sout
Geologic map of the Denver West 30' x 60' quadrangle, north-central Colorado
The Denver West quadrangle extends east-west across the entire axis of the Front Range, one of numerous uplifts in the Rocky Mountain region in which Precambrian rocks are exposed. The history of the basement rocks in the Denver West quadrangle is as old as 1,790 Ma. Along the east side of the range, a sequence of sedimentary rocks as old as Pennsylvanian, but dominated by Cretaceous-age rocks, ov
Geologic Map of the Eastern Three-Quarters of the Cuyama 30' x 60' Quadrangle, California
The map area encompasses a large part of the western Transverse Ranges
and southern Coast Ranges of southern California. The San Andreas fault
(SAF) cuts the northern part of the map. The area south of the SAF, about
80 percent of the map area, encompasses several distinct tectonic blocks
bounded by major thrust or reverse faults, including the Santa Ynez fault,
Big Pine fault (and structur
Geologic map of the Hidden Hills Ranch Quadrangle, Clark County, Nevada
The prominent structural feature in the Pahrump Valley is the right-lateral Pahrump-Stewart Valley fault system (PSV) (Anderson and others, 1995b), which is the central segment of the State Line fault system as defined by Blakely and others (1998). The main trace of this fault system, as shown in figure 1A, strikes northwest along the California-Nevada state line through Pahrump and Stewart Valley
Geologic map of the Clark Peak quadrangle, Jackson and Larimer Counties, Colorado
The Clark Peak quadrangle encompasses the southern end of the Medicine Bow Mountains and the northernmost end of the Mummy Range. The Continental Divide traverses the map area and Highway 14 cross the Divide at Cameron Pass, in the southeastern corner of the map. Approximately the eastern half of the map, and a few areas to the west, are underlain by Early Proterozoic plutonic and metamorphic rock
Geologic Map of the Abiquiu Quadrangle, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico
The Abiquiu 1:24,000-scale quadrangle is located along the Colorado Plateau-Rio Grande rift margin in north-central New Mexico. The map area lies within the Abiquiu embayment, an early (pre-Miocene) extensional basin of the Rio Grande rift. Rocks exposed include continental Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks of the Colorado Plateau and Cenozoic basin-fill deposits and volcanic rocks of the Rio Grande ri
Geologic Map of the Eaton Reservoir Quadrangle, Larimer County, Colorado and Albany County, Wyoming
New geologic mapping of the Eaton Reservoir 7.5' quadrangle defines geologic relationships in the northern Front Range along the Colorado/Wyoming border approximately 35 km south of Laramie, Wyo. Previous mapping within the quadrangle was limited to regional reconnaissance mapping (Tweto, 1979; Camp, 1979; Burch, 1983) and some minor site-specific studies (Carlson and Marsh, 1986; W. Braddock, unp
Geologic map of the Camas Quadrangle, Clark County, Washington, and Multnomah County, Oregon
The Camas 7.5' quadrangle is in southwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon approximately 20 km east of Portland. The map area, bisected by the Columbia River, lies on the eastern margin of the Portland Basin, which is part of the Puget-Willamette Lowland that separates the Cascade Range from the Oregon Coast Range. Since late Eocene time, the Cascade Range has been the locus of an episodicall
Historic trail map of the La Junta 1 degree x 2 degree quadrangle, southeastern Colorado and western Kansas
This historic trail map of the La Junta quadrangle contains all or part of eight Colorado and Kansas counties. Many of the historic trails in the La Junta quadrangle were used by Indians long before the white man reached the area. The earliest recorded use of the trails by white men in the quadrangle was in the 1820s when traders brought goods from St. Louis for barter with the Indians and for com
Geologic Map and Engineering Properties of the Surficial Deposits of the Tok Area, East-Central Alaska
The Tok area 1:100,000-scale map, through which the Alaska Highway runs, is in east-central Alaska about 160 km west of the Yukon border. The surficial geologic mapping in the map area is in support of the 'Geologic Mapping in support of land, resources, and hazards issues in Alaska' Project of the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. The Tok map area contains parts of three physiog
