Divisions of potential fracture permeability, based on distribution of structures and lineaments, in sedimentary rocks of the Rocky Mountains-High Plains region, Western United States

January 1, 1986

The principal map show geologic structures and lineaments that indicate fracture traces in sedimentary rocks in all or parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.  Fractures associated with geologic structures and lineaments may affect the potential fracture permeability of consolidated rocks.  Divisions indicating differences in the potential fracture permeability are delineated on the map.
