Geologic Map of the Summit Area of House Mountain, Yavapai County, Arizona
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
House Mountain is in the southwest part of the Sedona, Arizona 7.5 minute quadrangle,approximately 12 km southwest of the
city of Sedona (Fig. 1). The summit area is a nearly circularerosional caldera 2.2 km in diameter that is breached on the
northwest side by a narrow canyonthrough which an intermittent creek flows to join Oak Creek. Relief in the caldera is 270
m. Themountain is surrounded on 4 sides by US-89A, AZ-279, 1-17, and AZ-179.In constructing the map, all geologic contacts
were traced in the field. Map units weredefined on the bases of lithology and stratigraphy; stratigraphic relationships were
determined inthe field by using traditional geologic principles such as superposition and cross-cuttingrelationships.
