AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MARK H. BAILEY for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on June 7, 1979 Title: BEDROCK GEOLOGY OF WESTERN TAYLOR PARK, GUNNISON COUNTY, COLORADO Signature redacted for privacy. Abstract approved: I ._&V_j - Dr. Robert D. Lawrence The western Taylor Park area covers about 65 square miles on the western flank of the Sawatch Range. It is underlain chiefly by Precambrian rocks, partiallycovered on the east by glacial debris andoverlapped on the west and south by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. The Precambrian rocks include a group ofmetasedimen- tary rocks of an undetermined age greaterthan 1700 m.y. The metasedimentary rocks include five mineralogicallydis- tinct units, quartzite, quartz-muscovite schist, quartz- epidote schist, quartz-plagioclase-biotite schist,and quartz-biotite-microcline-sillimaflite schist. The higher grade sillimanite-bearing biotite schists arerestricted to the western half of the map area and closelyassociated with the Forest Hill granitic rocks. The metasedimentary rocks were intruded twiceduring Precambrian time. The oldest intrusive event resulted in syntectonic emplacement of granodiorite and biotite tona- lite rocks. These rocks correlate with the 1700 m.y.old Denny Creek granodiorite gneiss and Kroenkegranodiorite which are mapped and informally named in the adjoining Mount Harvard quadrangle. The second, post-tectonic, igneous eventproduced granitic rocks that are dated at 1030 m.y. byRb-Sr meth- ods. These rocks include two comagmatic graniticphases, the Forest Hill porphyritic granite and the ForestHill cataclastic granite. A third phase, the Forest Hill horn- blende granodiorite, intrudes the porphyritic graniteand, therefore, is younger than the granitic phases. The 1030 m.y. -

City of Manitou Springs Historic District Design Guidelines CHAPTER 2 Historic Context • Historic District and Map • Historic Subdistricts and Maps • Architectural Styles Chapter 2: Historic Context City of Manitou Springs Historic District Design Guidelines Chapter 2: Historic Context City of Manitou Springs Historic District Design Guidelines Chapter 2: Historical Context This section describes the historical context of Manitou Springs as refl ected in its historic structures. A communi- ty history can be documented in a collection of names and dates carefully recorded in history books seldom read, or it can be seen everyday in the architecture of the past. Protecting and preserving that architectural heritage is one way we can celebrate the people and events that shaped our community and enhance the foundation for our future growth and development. Background Large Queen Anne Victorian hotels such as the Bark- er House and the Cliff House are visible reminders of Manitou’s heyday as a health resort. These grand buildings, although altered signifi cantly through ear- ly renovations, date back to the 1870s when Manitou Springs was founded by Dr. William Bell, an Eng- lish physician and business partner of General Wil- liam Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. Dr. Bell envi- sioned a European-style health resort built around the natural mineral springs with public parks, gardens, villas and elegant hotels. With this plan in mind, Manitou Springs’ fi rst hotel, the Manitou House, was constructed in 1872. Development during the 1870s -1880s was rapid and consisted primarily of frame construction. Although Manitou’s growth did not faithfully adhere to Dr. -
Fountain Creek, Colorado, 2007–2008, by Using Multiple Lines of Evidence
Evaluation of Fecal Contamination by Human and Ruminant Sources in Upper Fountain Creek, Colorado, 2007–2008, By Using Multiple Lines of Evidence In May 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Pikes Fountain Creek is a high-gradient stream on the Front Range of the Rocky Peak Area Council of Governments, Mountains in Colorado (fig. 1). The headwaters of Fountain Creek drain Pikes Colorado Department of Public Health Peak, a major destination for tourism. Fountain Creek is a drinking-water source and the Environment, Colorado Springs for the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and is used for irrigation, recreation, Engineering, and Colorado Springs and other purposes between Colorado Springs and the confluence with the Utilities, began a study to document the Arkansas River at Pueblo, Colorado. In 2008, Fountain Creek was placed on the locations, magnitude, and sources of fecal Colorado 303(d) list of impaired streams because of fecal contamination. Colorado contamination to upper Fountain Creek, uses a 30-day geometric mean standard of 126 E. coli per 100 milliliters as its Colorado (fig. 1).

Fountain Creek Measured densities of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Fountain Creek were more than 126 per 100 milliliters (the Colorado criterion for recreational uses; Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 2005) at several sites in the study area. Exceedances occurred during warm-weather months (warm season, June 15 through September 15) in Ruxton Creek (site 9), Fountain Creek downstream from Ruxton Creek (site 10), and Fountain Creek below 8th Street in Colorado Springs (site 15). -

This system was originally recognized by aprons of coarse, arkosic sandstone and conglomerate within the Paradox, Eagle, and Denver Basins, which surround the Front Range and Uncompahgre basement uplifts. However, substantial portions of Ancestral Rocky Mountain–adjacent basins are filled with carbonate or fine-grained quartzose material that is distinct from proximal arkosic rocks, and detrital zircon data from basins adjacent to the Ancestral Rocky Moun- tains have been interpreted to indicate that a substantial proportion of their clastic sediment was sourced from the Appalachian and/or Arctic orogenic belts and transported over long distances across Laurentia into Ancestral Rocky Mountain basins. In this study, we pres- ent new U-Pb detrital zircon data from 72 samples from strata within the Denver Basin, Eagle Basin, Paradox Basin, northern Arizona shelf, Pedregosa Basin, and Keeler–Lone Pine Basin spanning ~50 m.y. -
