Riding on the leading edge of the moving North American plate, Oregon reflects the underlying mecha- nism of the plate collision boundary in virtually all aspects of its geology. In the seven years since the fourth edition was written, an irregular but continuing drumbeat of earthquakes reminds us of the forces beneath our feet and the need to prepare for catastrophic changes be they quakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, or massive earth movements. Most profound is the discovery of irrefutable evidence that these catastrophes have been visited on the state quite regularly over the past few thousands of years as well as the absolute surety that similar disasters will oc- cur in the near and distant future. -

DOGAMI Bulletin 35, Geology of the Dallas and Valsetz Quadrangles, Oregon
STATE OF OREGON DEPARTM ENT OF GEOLOGY AN D MINERAL INDUSTRIES 1069 State Office Building Portland Oregon - 97201 BULLETI N 35 {Revised Edition) 1964 GEOLOGY OF THE DALLAS AND VALSETZ QUADRANGLES, OREGON By EWART M. BALDWIN Professor of Geolog y University of Oregon Governi ng Bo ard Frank C. McColloch, Chairman Portland Fayette I. Bristol Grants Pass Harold Banta Baker Hollis M. Dole State Geologist FOREWORD TO THE FIRST EDITION The rec onnaissance geologic maps of the adjoining Dallas and Valsetz 15-minute quadrangles, together with the descriptive text in this bu lletin, are the results of work undertaken by the State geological su r vey . This important survey work was discontinued during the war and resumed in 1 946 . The two quad rangles are located in northwestern Oregon, mainly in Polk County, and cover a section of the summit and eastern slope o(the Coast Range and a portion of the western part of the Willamette Valley. The selection of the Dallas-Valsetz area for geological survey work stemmed primarily from the De partment's efforts to find limestone deposits of better quality than those now known in the area . Such de posits are badly needed both for industry and agricultural stone . The survey was not successfu l in finding commercial deposits of high-grade stone bu t information was obtained which indicates the favorable geo logical horizon where limestone deposits could probably be found and where further prospecting should be done. This stu dy of the area allows a clea rer understanding of stratigraphy, struc ture, and geologic history of the Coast Range . -
