Borehole information from the lower Colorado River corridor, Arizona, Nevada, and California Borehole information from the lower Colorado River corridor, Arizona, Nevada, and California
This data release provides location information and lithologic intervals for boreholes compiled by the USGS between 2016 and 2020 for use during subsurface geologic mapping of the lower Colorado River corridor. The data provided include a spreadsheet of borehole information, that contains the well name, the information source, and positional information regarding the well location. A...
Structural measurements in the Grand Canyon region Structural measurements in the Grand Canyon region
This is a data release of a .csv file that provides measurements of structural features in the Grand Canyon region. These data document structural attitudes, used to describe the orientations of geologic features in three dimensions. Included fields describe the type of geologic feature mentioned, the azimuth and inclination of the measurement (for planar data these correspond to the...
Gravity and physical property data of the Blythe region, California and Arizona Gravity and physical property data of the Blythe region, California and Arizona
This data release presents point data associated with studies to understand the crustal structure of the Blythe region, where strands of the pre-Quaternary Eastern California Shear zone project across this region in California and Arizona. Data include principal fact information for new gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2020 to 2025, previously unpublished...
Digital database for the geologic map of the Vidal, California, and Parker SW, California-Arizona quadrangles Digital database for the geologic map of the Vidal, California, and Parker SW, California-Arizona quadrangles
This geologic database is a digitized version of the original 1:24,000-scale analog geologic map titled "Geologic map of the Vidal, California, and Parker SW, California-Arizona quadrangles", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. The map area straddles the Arizona-California border, and is located approximately 9.0 km (5.6 mi) west-southwest of Parker, CA, immediately...

The map area straddles the Arizona-California border and includes the community of Parker, AZ...
Digital data documenting the evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA Digital data documenting the evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA
These datasets provide the measurements and analytical data used to describe the evolution of Neogene faulting near Blythe, California. The data include structural measurements and results from Ar-Ar and U-Pb geochronology that address the research questions of the associated publication. Structural measurement datasets provide fault surface kinematic measurements and tabulations of...

This map geodatabase digitally represents the general distribution of bedrock geologic map units in the Turtle Mountains area, California, as portrayed in Plate 1 of USGS Bulletin 1713-B, Mineral resources of the Turtle Mountains Wilderness Study Area, San Bernardino County, California (1988), https://doi.org/10.3133/b1713B. The map covers parts of the Rice, Turtle Mountains, and Savahia...
Oligocene–Miocene development and evolution of the south Dome Rock Mountains basin, lower Colorado River corridor, Arizona, USA Oligocene–Miocene development and evolution of the south Dome Rock Mountains basin, lower Colorado River corridor, Arizona, USA
Sedimentary basins in the Colorado River extensional corridor record large-magnitude Basin and Range extension and younger dextral shear deformation in the evolving Pacific−North America plate boundary. The south Dome Rock Mountains basin is located in west-central Arizona (USA), where the history of basin evolution, style of deformation, and timing of the transition between extension...

Evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA Evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA
The evolution of strain in nascent continental plate boundaries commonly involves distributed deformation and transitions between different styles of deformation as the plate boundary matures. Distributed NW-striking faults, many with km-scale right-lateral separation, are prevalent near Blythe, California, and have been variably interpreted to have accommodated either Middle Miocene NE...
