  • RECONNAISSANCE GEOLOGIC MAP of the QUEMADO 30 X 60 MINUTE QUADRANGLE, CATRON COUNTY, NEW MEXICO
    RECONNAISSANCE GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE QUEMADO 30 x 60 MINUTE QUADRANGLE, CATRON COUNTY, NEW MEXICO New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources Open-file Report 406 Richard M. Chamberlin, Steven M. Cather, Orin J. Anderson, and Glen E. Jones 1994 INTRODUCTION The Quemado 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, hereafter referred to as the Quemado sheet, is located in northern Catron County in west-central New Mexico. US-60 is the main access route across the Quemado sheet and serves the communities of Quemado and Pie Town (Fig. 1). Previous reconnaissance geologic maps covering the Quemado sheet (Fig. 2, Willard, 1957; and Willard and Weber, 1958) were made in the middle 1950s as part of a statewide mapping effort that culminated in the 1965 geologic map of New Mexico (Dane and Bachman, 1965). Our recent reconnaissance mapping of the Quemado sheet (1991-1993) was undertaken to provide new geologic data commensurate with that being used to prepare a digital geologic map of New Mexico (Anderson and Jones, 1994). Reconnaissance geologic data acquired by Chamberlin, Cather and Anderson (Fig. 3) was primarily plotted on 7.5 minute quadrangles (Fig. 1) at a scale of 1:24,000. Jones digitized this 1:24,000 data set using GSMAF' ver. 7.0 (developed by Gary Selner, USGS, Denver, CO); Jones then combined the 7.5 minute quadrangles at the 1:100,000 scale to produce a geologic map of the Quemado sheet. The digital printout of this geologic map, an explanatory lettering sheet, and the 1:100,000 USGS topographic base have been photographically combined to make the geologic map presented here.
