Katzer, Cordilleran Hydrology, Inc., Reno, NV 89511 Michael Winters, Virgin Valley Water District, Mesquite, NV 89027 ABSTRACT The lower Virgin River Basin is a complex structural basin formed by Neogene extension in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. There is a large volume of ground water in transient storage moving through the basin. Ongoing investigations to characterize the basin have determined that it is one of the deepest in the Basin and Range Province. The estimated depth to basement underlying the carbonate rock may be as great as 5 miles.

    Preliminary Geologic Map of the Enterprise Quadrangle, Washington and Iron Counties, Utah

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE ENTERPRISE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON AND IRON COUNTIES, UTAH By H. Richard Blank U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO Open-File Report 93-203 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. 1993 PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE ENTERPRISE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON AND IRON COUNTIES, UTAH INTRODUCTION This map is the first to be released of 4 contiguous l:24,000-scale geologic map sheets comprising the area known informally as the Bull Valley district of the eastern Bull Valley Mountains. The district contains abundant low-grade contact metasomatic and jaspillitic sediment-hosted iron deposits, and less abundant but higher-grade vein-iron deposits. All are associated with monzonitic hypabyssal magmatism of early Miocene age, including emplacement of the Big Mountain intrusion, which cores the Big Mountain structural and topographic dome in the southeast corner of the Enterprise quadrangle. Numerous iron mining claims in the district were patented in years past but intensive exploration, including diamond drilling, had ceased by about 1960 and no ore has ever been shipped from the district on a commercial basis. Mineral resources of the eastern Bull Valley Mountains and vicinity include gold and silver in addition to iron. The Goldstrike district, about 18 km southwest of the Enterprise quadrangle, is currently an active gold producer; and until recently the Escalante mine, located a few km north of the quadrangle, was an important primary producer of silver. Ground water is doubtless the most significant non-mineral resource in the quadrangle, sustaining a flourishing agricultural industry in the southern Escalante Valley.
