  • Geologic Map of Ruby Dam Area Southwestern Montana
    Geologic Map of Ruby Dam Area Southwestern Montana Compiled and Mapped by Zachary C. St. Jean and Deirdre R. Teeter Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report MBMG 488 2004 This report has had preliminary reviews for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the EDMAP component of the National Cooperative Geological Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey under Contract Number 01HQAG0157. Introduction This project was funded by the EDMAP program of the U. S. Geological Survey. Field studies, including geologic mapping and a gravity and magnetic survey, were conducted during the 2001 field season. These studies were undertaken to gain a better understanding of the geologic structure of the Ruby basin in the area of Ruby Dam in southwest Montana (Figures 1 and 2). Ruby Dam, which impounds Ruby Reservoir, lies within a seismically active region known as the Intermountain Seismic Belt. Delineation and detailed mapping of the Tertiary and Quaternary sediments has helped to understand better the occurrence of Quaternary faulting in the basin. No new faults of Quaternary age were recognized within the field area. However, a fault that offsets Quaternary deposits was newly mapped by the authors in a gravel pit two miles north of the north map boundary. This fault may change previously calculated ground acceleration values at the dam site, and may indicate a greater susceptibility of the dam to seismic activity than previously thought. The geologic map in this report combines previous work that focused on the bedrock of the area with new mapping of the Tertiary and Quaternary deposits by the present authors.
