Abstract

The foremost purpose of this report is to outline the general geology and geomorphology of the mapped area. Secondarily, the relationship of the Santa Fe formation of late Tertiary age to older strata is explored. Presence of basalts and other volcanics in the Santa Fe formation is shown. Evidence indicating the probable contemporaneity of part of the Chicoma volcanic group and of the Santa Fe formation is discussed.
