Description
The area described in this study includes Cemetery Ridge, the Clanton Hills, and the westernmost Gila Bend Mountains (picacho Hills), La paz and Yuma counties, Arizona. The study area (Fig. 1) encompasses all of the Nottbusch Butte Quadrangle (1:24,000), the northern part of the Turtleback Mountain Quadrangle (1 :24,000), and the southwestern part of the Eagletail Mountains West Quadrangle (1 :24,000). Bedrock in this area consists of Proterozoic to Jurassic igneous and metamorphic rocks that are overlain by Miocene silicic volcanic rocks, subordinate mafic and intermediate volcanic units, and continental calcareous sedimentary rocks (plate 1). Sources of data are shown in Figure 2, rock-unit correlations and relative ages are shown in Figure 3, and map symbols are shown in Table 1. This geodatabase is part of a digital republication of a 1992 geologic map originally created by the Arizona Geological Survey with financial support from Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey COGEOMAP Program (#14-08-0001-AO872). Preparation for republication was conducted by students from the University of Arizona with financial support from the U.S. Geological Survey, National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (G23AP00215) and included the production of a new GIS geodatabase and a revised map layout. It is based on interpretations that were made from the data available at the time it was created. The AZGS does not guarantee this map or digital data to be free of errors nor assume liability for interpretations made from this map or digital data, or decisions based thereon. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government.
