Description

The surficial geology of Chiricahua National Monument was mapped around Monument headquarters and the primary visitors’ facilities to understand the geologic and geomorphic framework of the area, and to assess some of the geologic hazards that could impact park and visitor facilities. The surficial geology primarily consists of relatively coarse-grained tributary alluvial fans, finer-grained very young alluvial fans, channels and low terraces deposited in the axial valley by Bonita and Rhyolite Creeks, and hillslope colluvium. All surficial deposits are presumed to be Quaternary in age, and most of them are likely of Holocene age, but none have been numerically dated and are therefore mapped by relative age.
