Kca Tlr Kmj 4,600 Kmh 4,500 A geologic map displays information on the distribution, nature, orientation, and age relationships of rock and deposits and the occurrence of structural features. Geologic and fault contacts are irregular surfaces that form boundaries between different types or ages of units. Data depicted on this geologic quadrangle map may be based on any of the following: reconnaissance field geologic mapping, compilation of published and unpublished work, and photogeologic interpretation. Locations of contacts are not surveyed, but are plotted by interpretation of the position of a given contact onto a topographic base map; therefore, the accuracy of contact locations depends on the scale of mapping and the interpretation of the geologist(s). Any enlargement of this map could cause misunderstanding in the detail of mapping and may result in erroneous interpretations. Site-specific conditions should be verified by detailed surface mapping or subsurface exploration. Topographic and cultural changes associated with recent development may not be shown. Cross sections are constructed based upon the interpretations of the author made from geologic mapping, and available geophysical, and subsurface (drillhole) data. Cross-sections should be used as an aid to understanding the general geologic framework of the map area, and not be the sole source of information for use in locating or designing wells, buildings, roads, or other man-made structures. 4,700 Kmh Kca 4,600 5,000 feet ASL Kmh Mzu-Pzu Kmj Mzu-Pzu Tlr Kgd 2,000' QTp Tpp QTp Kca 3,000' Kcl Qpa Kmh Kca Kcl Qpo Kca East B' Antelope fault Tlr Kmj Kca Kca Engle Lake fault Kmh Kmj Kmh Kmj 4,000' Water well anticline Kmh Qvo Kmh Central horst Main - central fault Bend in section unconformity Kgd 3,000' Kcl 2,000' 5,000 feet ASL Kmj Kcl Kca Kcl Kca QTp Qpa Qe Kgd Kgd Kca Kmj Kcl Kcl Mzu-Pzu Kca Qpo Kca Mesozoic-Paleozoic Qvo East A' Cedar Lake Bend in section Tb Tb Tp 5,000 feet ASL Kmh Cedar Lake fault Late Cretaceous Main - central fault West A 3,000' Central horst Water well anticline 4,500 The map has not been reviewed according to New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources standards.
