dc.descriptionHouse Mountain is in the southwest part of the Sedona, Arizona 7.5 minute quadrangle, approximately 12 km southwest of the city of Sedona (Fig. 1). The summit area is a nearly circular erosional caldera 2.2 km in diameter that is breached on the northwest side by a narrow canyon through which an intermittent creek flows to join Oak Creek. Relief in the caldera is 270 m. The mountain is surrounded on 4 sides by US-89A, AZ-279, 1-17, and AZ-179. In constructing the map, all geologic contacts were traced in the field. Map units were defined on the bases of lithology and stratigraphy; stratigraphic relationships were determined in the field by using traditional geologic principles such as superposition and cross-cutting relationships.
