Description
This study encompasses the southern part of both the Usery Mountains and the Goldfield Mountains and includes all areas where bedrock is exposed in the Apache Junction and Buckhorn USGS 7.5' topographic quadrangle maps (see figures 1 and 2). The eastern edge of the study area includes part of the Superstition Mining District and contains many pits and prospects. The region is near the northern margin of the Basin and Range Province and the southern margin of the Transition Zone. Elevations range from about 1280 feet in the northwest comer of the map to 3269 feet near the northeast comer of the map. Field work was carried out between February and April, 1996. Access to the area is good. The Bush Highway, Power Road, and McKelleps Road. are all good avenues of entry to the Usery Mountains. Several dirt roads provide good access to the Goldfield Mountains. The road down Bulldog Canyon requires a permit (locked gate) and even ,vith 4-wheel drive the road is very rough. The road through Bulldog Canyon is impassable if driven from north to south.
