Preliminary Geologic Map of the Griffith Canyon Quadrangle, Washoe County, Nevada, NBMG OFR 10-02

Resource Abstract:

1:24,000 scale Preliminary Geologic Map of the Griffith Canyon Quadrangle, Washoe County, Nevada. Detailed geologic mapping by Larry J. Garside, Fred L. Nials, and Alan R. Ramelli in 2010, first released in 1999. Field work was completed in 1996-1997, and 2005. Geologicd map includes 2 cross sections and description of 41 units. The GIS work was in support of the U.S. Geological Survey COGEOMAP program. The Geodatabase specifies feature datasets and feature classes, together with feature attributes, subtypes and domains, suitable for the printed geologic map. In addition to basic geology (lithology, contacts and faults, etc.), the maps may include metamorphic overprints, cross-sections, and explanatory legend-graphics such as correlation charts, used to supplement columnar legends. More detailed mapping of surficial deposits in southern Spanish Springs Valley was done by Alan R. Ramelli in 2006. Additionally, the preliminary and incomplete mapping of faults and contacts between surficial units in Spanish Springs Valley, done in more detail by Alan R. Ramelli. Supported by the U.S Geological Survey STATEMAP Program. This is a draft and has not undergone office or field review, and will be revised before publication. Base map: U. S. Geological Survey Griffith Canyon 7.5-minute Quadrangle 1980.
