Map showing Quaternary and Pliocene faults in the Silver City 1° x 2° quadrangle and the Douglas 1° x 2° quadrangle, southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico (original) (raw)

This report presents a map detailing Pliocene and Quaternary faults in the Silver City and Douglas quadrangles, located in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. The study focuses on neotectonic features with movements occurring within the last 5 million years and discusses the prominent faults in the area, their histories of movement, and the methods used to ascertain fault characteristics. The findings underscore the potential presence of additional young faults not depicted on the map, highlighting the complexities in geological formations and their implications for hazard assessments.
