  • San Juan National Forest
    SAN JUAN NATIONAL FOREST Colorado UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE V 5 FOREST SERVICE t~~/~ Rocky Mountain Region Denver, Colorado Cover Page. — Chimney Rock, San Juan National Forest F406922 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1942 * DEPOSITED BY T,HE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA San Juan National Forest CAN JUAN NATIONAL FOREST is located in the southwestern part of Colorado, south and west of the Continental Divide, and extends, from the headwaters of the Navajo River westward to the La Plata Moun- \ tains. It is named after the San Juan River, the principal river drainage y in this section of the State, which, with its tributaries in Colorado, drains the entire area within the forest. It contains a gross area of 1,444,953 ^ acres, of which 1,255,977 are Government land under Forest Service administration, and 188,976 are State and privately owned. The forest was created by proclamation of President Theodore Roosevelt on June 3, 1905. RICH IN HISTORY The San Juan country records the march of time from prehistoric man through the days of early explorers and the exploits of modern pioneers, each group of which has left its mark upon the land. The earliest signs of habitation by man were left by the cliff and mound dwellers. Currently with or following this period the inhabitants were the ancestors of the present tribes of Indians, the Navajos and the Utes. After the middle of the eighteenth century the early Spanish explorers and traders made their advent into this section of the new world in increasing numbers.

  • Briefguiderocks Copy
    BRIEF GUIDE TO ROCKS What is a rock? • A mixture of minerals. • A naturally occurring solid. • A “time machine” with a story to tell. All rocks tell a story; a rock represents a period of time (during which it was formed), an environment (in which it was formed) and a geologic process (how it was formed). By “reading the record of a rock” you can understand its history. Sandia Granite How are rocks classified? • Igneous: solidified from magma (molten, or liquid, rock within the Earth) Note: Igneous rocks are further divided into Plutonic (the magma solidified beneath Earth’s surface) and Volcanic (the magma erupted onto Earth’s surface to become lava and the lava solidified at the surface). Examples: Plutonic = granite, gabbro, granodiorite, monzonite Volcanic = basalt, rhyolite, pumice, obsidian • Sedimentary: rocks produced by the movement and deposition of eroded minerals, sand, silt, pebbles, or cobbles or by the deposition of precipitates. Note: Sedimentary rocks are divided into Clastic (a rock with layers of sediment of various grain sizes) or Chemical (a rock formed by precipitation of chemicals layer by layer out of water). Examples: Clastic = sandstone, shale Chemical = limestone, travertine • Metamorphic: a pre-existing rock (igneous or sedimentary or even metamorphic) that has been altered by changes in temperature, pressure, or stress into a different type of rock by mineralogical, chemical, and/or structural changes, while in the solid state. Note: Metamorphic rocks are sometimes classified by geologists into levels of metamorphism (how much it has changed) from low to high intensity. Metamorphic rocks that have been under pressure show an alignment of minerals that is called foliation.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2016 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WRI REPORT 83-4118-D MAP SHOWING OUTCROPS OF GRANITIC ROCKS AND SILICIC SHALLOW-INTRUSIVE ROCKS, BASIN AND RANGE PROVINCE, NEW MEXICO Compiled by F. Allan Hills and K. A. Sargent INTRODUCTION This map report is one of a series of geologic and hydro- logic maps covering all or parts of the States within the Basin and Range province of the western United States. The map reports contain information on subjects that characterize the geohy- drology of the province, including the ground-water hydrology, ground-water quality, surface distribution of selected rock types, tectonic conditions, areal geophysics, Pleistocene lakes and marshes, and mineral and energy resources. This work is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's program for geologic and hydro- logic evalutaion of the Basin and Range province to identify potentially suitable regions for further study relative to storage of high-level nuclear waste (Bedinger, Sargent, and Reed, 1984). This map report on the granitic rocks and silicic shallow- intrusive rocks of New Mexico was prepared from published geo­ logic maps and reports utilizing the project guidelines of Sargent and Bedinger (1984). The map shows outcrops of mostly plutonic granitic rocks, but also of fine-grained and partly glassy, silicic, shallow-intrusive rocks. The outcrops have been grouped into numbered county areas, which are outlined on the map. The Description of Map Units includes the geologic, and if available, radiometric ages, the lithology, thickness where available, and sources of data. Because the classification of plutonic igneous rocks has changed since publication of many reports used in this study, the rock terminology in the original reports has been converted, where possible, to that adopted by the International Union of Geologic Sciences (IUGS), as reported by Streckeisen (1976).
