Open-File Geologic Map 228
Mapping of this quadrangle was funded by a matching-funds grant from the STATEMAP program
of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Act, administered by the U. S. Geological Survey,
and by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, (L. Greer Price,
Director and State Geologist, Dr. J. Michael Timmons, Geologic Mapping Program Manager).
Geologic map of the San Antonio SE quadrangle,
Socorro County, New Mexico
June, 2012
by
Colin T. Cikoski
New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801
This draft geologic map is preliminary and will undergo revision. It was produced
from either scans of hand-drafted originals or from digitally drafted original maps
and figures using a wide variety of software, and is currently in cartographic production.
It is being distributed in this draft form as part of the bureau's Open-file map series
(OFGM), due to high demand for current geologic map data in these areas where
STATEMAP quadrangles are located, and it is the bureau's policy to disseminate
geologic data to the public as soon as possible.
After this map has undergone scientific peer review, editing, and final cartographic
production adhering to bureau map standards, it will be released in our Geologic Map
(GM) series. This final version will receive a new GM number and will supercede
this preliminary open-file geologic map.

Notes on cross-section A-A':
-No vertical exaggeration.
-Thicknesses of post-Santa Fe Group units are exaggerated.
-Location of bottom of Santa Fe Group is unconstrained.
-Offset across Cemetery fault is unconstrained.
-Location of contact between QTsf and QTsp is constained by surface observation but not by subsurface data.
-Fite fault and Mesozoic strata are projected from Cather (2002) and Cather (2007). Neither are exposed on San Antonio SE.

COMMENTS TO MAP USERS
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compilation of published and unpublished work, and photogeologic interpretation.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.
The map has not been reviewed according to New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources
standards. The contents of the report and map should not be considered final and complete until
reviewed and published by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. 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 State of New Mexico, or
the U.S. Government.

Notes:
-Solid lines indicate known age extent of units
-Dashed lines indicate inferred age extent of units
-Age relations between piedmont alluvium and tributary/Rio Grande alluvium are uncertain
-Only pre-Pliocene units known to be present at depths of given cross-sections are shown;
work of Cather (2002, 2007) to north and reconnaissance work to east suggest several more units
are present at depth across the San Antonio SE quadrangle

Notes for cross-section B-B':
1000 m
-Vertical scale is 5X horizontal scale.
-Thickness of post-Santa Fe Group units are unconstrained and exaggerated.
-Fite fault and Mesozoic strata at NNE end are projected from Cather (2002, 2007).
-Permian strata may be present at ~90 m depth in footwall of Mike Well fault; Weir (1965) and Roybal (1991) both suggest the Mike well may terminate in the Yeso Group.
-post-Santa Fe Group units defined as eolian sand overlying another unit are indicated in parantheses above the cross-section; eolian sands and underlying units are shown separately within the cross-section.
