Geologic Map of the Meadview North Quadrangle, Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada, NBMG M154

Resource Abstract:

A 1:24,000 scale, geologic map of the Meadview North Quadrangle in Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada, with description of 54 geologic units. Detailed geologic mapping by Mark A. Wallace, James E. Faulds, and Robert J. Brady of the Department of Geology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242; Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557; Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2N 1N. 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. The Geologic Map of the Meadview North 7.5' Quadrangle in Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada 1:24,000-scale is available for download online in Portable Document Format. Field work was supported by an EDMAP grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (Copperative agreement 1434-HQ-97-AG- 07146) and National Science Foundation grant EAR99-10977 awarded to Faulds. The U.S. Geological Survey also provided a field vehicle and funds for digitizing and publication of the map, for which we thank Gary Dixon and Peter Rowley. The National Park Service at Lake Mead National Recreation Area kindly provided boat access into some relatively inaccessible areas. The Meadview North Quadrangle lies within the northeasternmost part of the Colorado River extensional corridor (Howard and John, 1987; Faulds and others, 1990), which is a 70 to 100-km wide region of moderately to highly extended crust between the Colorado Plateau on the east and Spring Mountains on the west. The quadrangle contains much of the town of Meadview, Arizona, as well as the southern part of the Grand Wash trough (including much of the Gregg Basin), southern part of Wheeler Ridge, and northern end of a mountain range informally referred to as the Lost Basin Range (after Theodore and others, 1987). Base map: U. S. Geological Survey Meadview North 7.5-minute Quadrangle, 1984. To download and view this map resource and associated map text and GIS zipped data-set, please see the links provided.
