An even lower runoff forecast is avoided only by the presence of above normal snow accumulations in the high mountains. Another milestone was reached lost month in the uti lization of water of the Colorado River in the Upper Basin . On Thursday night, Moy 29, 1969, water stored in Lake Powell reached elevation 3570 feet, which is "roted head" for the powerplont located at the toe of Glen Canyon Dom . "Roted head" is the lowest level at which water flowing through the turbines con drive the generators at their nameplate capacity. With normal rai nfall, it is expected that Lake Powell 's water surface should reach on all-time high in July at about elevation 3580 feet with a live storage of about 10,290,000 acre-feet. Planned releases from Lake Powell for water year 1969 ore about 8 . 8 million ocre­ feet. For the next 3 years thereafter annual releases should be near this amount in order to deliver Colorado River Compact requirements to the Lower Basin. The entire release wi 11 be used to generate power for power customers in both the Upper and Lower Bosi ns.

  • Geochronology, Geology, and Listric Normal Faulting of the Vulture Mountains, Maricopa County, Arizona
    Arizona Geological Society Digest, Volume XII, 1980 89 Geochronology, Geology, and Listric Normal Faulting of the Vulture Mountains, Maricopa County, Arizona by WA. Rehrigi, M. Shafiqullah2, and P.E. Damon2 Abstract Geologic mapping and geochronologic studies in the Vulture Mountains near Wickenburg, Arizona, have led to the recognition of a large, northeast-trending batholith of 68.4-m.y. age that intrudes complex gneissic and granitic rocks of probably Precambrian age. Over- lying the denuded crystalline terrane is a sequence of late Oligocene to Miocene ( .'26 to 16 m.y.) volcanic rocks (vitrophyres, ash-flow tuffs, welded tuffs, breccias, agglomerates, and lava flows) that vary locally. Nearby source areas are suggested. A swarm of north- to north-northwest-trending porphyritic dikes intrudes the volcanics and crystalline basement. Overlying this volcanic sequence in angular unconformity is a thin section of basal conglom- erate and basalt lava flows dated at 13.5 m.y. B.P. The older, tuffaceous sequence is generally calc-alkalic but with a high proportion of rhyolites that are exceptionally rich in potassium and silica. These silicic units are peral- kaline or nearly so, and those with K20/Na2O >3 are ultrapotassic. Initial strontium ratios average 0.7081, whereas an initial ratio for the younger basalt sequence is significantly lower at 0.7054. The silicic volcanics have been severely tilted on multiple, low-angle listric normal faults. The youngest basalt flows are relatively flat lying and postdate this deformation. By geo- logic and radiometric criteria, the transition from tilted silicic volcanics to untilted basalts occurred between about 16 and 14 m.y.

Miller Open-File Report 94-15 ARIZONA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TUCSON, ARIZONA NOVEIVIBER, 1994 This report is preliminary and lias not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION The principal geologic feature of the Big Hom and Belmont Mountains is a complexly faulted and tilted series of mostly Miocene volcanic rock that record a period of Middle Tertiary magmatism and extension. These volcanic rocks vary widely in composition, but basaltic and rhyolitic rocks are most abundant (Figure 1). Intrusive equivalents of these volcanics exposed in the Belmont Mountains are dominantly granitic. Despite the large volume of rhyolite erupted, small, coalescing flow and dome complexes were formed in preference to large- MIocene and Oligocene sandstone and conglomerate Hot Rock basalt Burnt Mountain volcanics Big Horn volcanics Intrusive rocks pre-Tertiary rocks I~ ,:- ; ~ _I Big Horn granodiorite (Cretaceous) ~ Igneous and metamorpchic rocks ~ (Proterozoic through Mesozoic) Figure 1.

These rocks lie in the upper plate ofthe regional Whipple-Buckskin-Bullard detachment fault [Rehrig and Reynolds, 1980], at its southeastern tip [Richard et aI, 1990a]. A regional boundary between major tilts domains in Tertiary strata follows an irregular course from northwest to southeast through the range [Rehrig et aI., 1980].

Xeroriparian Systems Used by Desert Mule Deer in Texas And Arizona1 Paul R. Krausman2 , Kurt R. Rautenstrauch3 and Bruce D. Leopold4 Abstract.--We examined desert mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus crooki) occurrance in xeroriparian systems in Arizona and Texas. Most deer in Arizona were located in washes. Most deer in Texas were located between washes. Xeroriparian areas are important habitat components for desert mule deer when they provide forage, thermal cover and travel lanes.

Their range was evaluated on the northeastern edge of their extends from southwest Texas to western Arizona range in Big Bend National Park (BBNP), southwest and south into central Mexico (Wallmo 1981).
