Mineral resource potential map of the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Fe, San Miguel, Mora, Rio Arriba, and Taos Counties, New Mexico Mineral resource potential map of the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Fe, San Miguel, Mora, Rio Arriba, and Taos Counties, New Mexico
The Pecos Wilderness covers approximately 348 sq mi in the Santa Fe and Carson National Forests, north-central New Mexico. The area investigated includes the wilderness and approximately 150 sq mi of adjacent territory. The additional area covers several RARE II Road less Areas that were classified by the U.S. Forest Service in 1979 as Proposed Wilderness and Further Planning Areas, but...
Mineral resources and resource potential map of the Pyramid Peak Roadless Area, Riverside County, California Mineral resources and resource potential map of the Pyramid Peak Roadless Area, Riverside County, California
The Pyramid Peak Roadless Area is underlain by mid-Cretaceous plutonic rocks (granite, granodiorite, and tonalite) that intrude metasedimentary rocks of the Desert Divide Group. The granodiorite grades eastward into strongly deformed mylonitic rocks mapped as part of the Santa Rosa mylonite zone. Metasedimentary rocks, orthogneiss, and anatexites of the Palm Canyon Complex were displaced...
Mines, prospects, and mineral sites, wilderness and RARE II areas, White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire Mines, prospects, and mineral sites, wilderness and RARE II areas, White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire
The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts require the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to survey certain areas on Federal lands to determine their mineral value, if any, that may be present.

Phanerozoic structural features in the northern Midcontinent, U.S.A. Phanerozoic structural features in the northern Midcontinent, U.S.A.
Because Precambrian structural features may represent controls for undiscovered mineral deposits hosted by Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks, this map was prepared to evaluate the possibility of locating Precambrian structural features by their expression in the structures of the overlying Phanerozoic rocks. The map includes most known Phanerozoic structural features in the region: areas of
