This data release presents geologic map data for the surficial geology of the Aztec 1-degree by 2-degree quadrangle. The map area lies within two physiographic provinces of Fenneman (1928): the Southern Rocky Mountains province, and the Colorado Plateau province, Navajo section. Geologic mapping is mostly compiled from published geologic map data sources ranging from 1:24,000 to 1:250,000 scale, with limited new interpretive contributions. Gaps in map compilation are related to a lack of published geologic mapping at the time of compilation, and not necessarily a lack of surficial deposits. Much of the geology incorporated from published geologic maps is adjusted based on digital elevation model and natural-color image data sources to improve spatial resolution of the data. Spatial adjustments and new interpretations also eliminate mismatches at source map boundaries. This data set represents only the surficial geology, defined as generally unconsolidated to moderately consolidated sedimentary deposits that are Quaternary or partly Quaternary in age, and faults that have documented Quaternary offset. Bedrock and sedimentary material directly deposited as a result of volcanic activity are not included in this database, nor are faults that are not known to have moved during the Quaternary. Map units in the Aztec quadrangle include alluvium, glacial, eolian, mass-wasting, colluvium, and alluvium/colluvium deposit types. Alluvium map units, present throughout the map area, range in age from Quaternary-Tertiary to Holocene and form stream-channel, floodplain, terrace, alluvial-fan, and pediment deposits. Along glaciated drainages terraces are commonly made up of glacial outwash. Glacial map units are concentrated in the northeast corner of the map area and are mostly undifferentiated till deposited in mountain valleys during Pleistocene glaciations. Eolian map units are mostly middle Pleistocene to Holocene eolian sand deposits forming sand sheets and dunes. Mass-wasting map units are concentrated in the eastern part of the map area, and include deposits formed primarily by slide, slump, earthflow, and rock-fall processes. Colluvium and alluvium/colluvium map units form hillslope and undifferentiated valley floor/hillslope deposits, respectively. The detail of geologic mapping varies from about 1:50,000- to 1:250,000-scale depending on the scale of published geologic maps available at the time of compilation, and for new mapping, the resolution of geologic features on available basemap data. Map units are organized within geologic provinces as described by the Seamless Integrated Geologic Mapping (SIGMa) (Turner and others, 2022) extension to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) (USGS, 2020). For this data release, first order geologic provinces are the physiographic provinces of Fenneman (1928), which reflect the major geomorphological setting affecting depositional processes. Second order provinces are physiographic sections of Fenneman (1928) if present. Third and fourth order provinces are defined by deposit type. Attributes derived from published source maps are recorded in the map unit polygons to preserve detail and allow database users the flexibility to create derivative map units. Map units constructed by the authors are based on geologic province, general deposit type and generalized groupings of minimum and maximum age to create a number of units typical for geologic maps of this scale. Polygons representing map units were assigned a host of attributes to make that geology easily searchable. Each polygon contains a general depositional process (‘DepositGeneral’) as well as three fields that describe more detailed depositional processes responsible for some deposition in that polygon (‘LocalGeneticType1’ – ‘LocalGeneticType3’). Three fields describe the materials that make up the deposit (‘LocalMaterial1’ – ‘LocalMaterial3’) and the minimum and maximum chronostratigraphic age of a deposit is stored in the ‘LocalAgeMin’ and ‘LocalAgeMax’ fields, respectively. Where a polygon is associated with a prominent landform or a formal stratigraphic name the ‘LocalLandform’ and ‘LocalStratName’ fields are populated. The field ‘LocalThickness’ provides a textual summary of how thick a source publication described a deposit to be. Where three fields are used to describe the contents of a deposit, we attempt to place descriptors in a relative ordering such that the first field is most prominent, however for remotely interpreted deposits and some sources that provide generalized descriptions this was not possible. Values within these searchable fields are generally taken directly from source maps, however we do perform some conservative adjustments of values based on observations from the landscape and/or adjacent source maps. Where new features were interpreted from remote observations, we derive polygon attributes based on a conservative correlation to neighboring maps. Detail provided at the polygon level is simplified into a map unit by matching its values to the DescriptionOfMapUnits_Surficial table. Specifically, we construct map units within each province based on values of ‘DepositGeneral’ and a set of chronostratigraphic age bins that attempt to capture important aspects of Quaternary landscape evolution. Polygons are assigned to the mapunit with a corresponding ‘DepositGeneral’ and the narrowest chronostratigraphic age bin that entirely contains the ‘LocalAgeMin’ and ‘LocalAgeMax’ values of that polygon. Therefore, users may notice some mismatch between the age range of a polygon and the age range of the assigned map unit, where ‘LocalAgeMin’ and ‘LocalAgeMax’ (e.g., Holocene – Holocene) may define a shorter temporal range than suggested by the map unit (e.g., Holocene – late Pleistocene). This apparent discrepancy allows for detailed information to be preserved in the polygons, while also allowing for an integrated suite of map units that facilitate visualization over a large region.

The data defines the locations of the various types of zoning districts as described in the Town's Zoning by-Laws, as approved at Special Town Meeting 2024.Where any uncertainty exists with respect to the boundary of any district as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules apply:1. Where a boundary is indicated as a street, railroad, watercourse or other body of water, it shall be construed to be the centerline or middle thereof, or where such boundary approximates a town boundary, then to the limits of the town boundary.2. Where a boundary is indicated as following approximately or parallel to a street, railroad, watercourse, or other body of water, it shall be construed to be parallel thereto and at such distance there from as dimensioned on the Zoning Map. If no dimension is given, such distance shall be determined by use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.3. Where a dimensioned boundary coincides within ten (10) feet or less with a lot line, the boundary established by records as of March 1973 shall be construed to be the lot line.4. Where a boundary is indicated as intersecting the centerline of a street, railroad, watercourse or other water body, it shall be construed to intersect at right angles to said centerline, or in the case of a curved centerline, at right angle to the tangent to the curve at the point of intersection.5. Whenever any dispute arises on district boundaries as to the exact location of a district boundary line, the location of such line shall be determined by the Planning and Zoning Board.

New multidisciplinary data collected as part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) Program has changed our understanding of the basement geology of the East Tennant region in the Northern Territory, and its potential to host mineralisation. To ensure this understanding is accurately reflected in geological maps, we undertake a multidisciplinary interpretation of the basement geology in East Tennant. For the purposes of this product, basement comprises polydeformed and variably metamorphosed rocks of the pre-1800 Ma Warramunga Province, which are exposed in outcrop around Tennant Creek, to the west. In the East Tennant region, these rocks are entirely covered by younger flat-lying strata of the Georgina Basin, and locally covered by the Kalkarindji Suite, and South Nicholson Basin (Ahmad 2000).

The data from this solid geology map are designed to be included in mineral potential models and future updates to Geoscience Australia’s chronostratigraphic solid geology maps.

This interpretation comprises a Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset containing basement geology polygons, faults and contacts. Geological units are consistent with the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database and faults utilise existing conventions followed by Geoscience Australia’s chronostratigraphic solid geology products (Stewart et al. 2020). To aid in understanding the data, we have added a three-stage fault hierarchy. Basement geology was interpreted at 1:100000 scale (but is intended for display at 1:250000 scale) using geophysical imagery, namely total magnetic intensity and vertical derivatives of these data, and gravity. The interpretation makes use of numerous new datasets collected as part of the EFTF program. These include a new 2-km spaced gravity grid over most of East Tennant, drill-core lithology from new boreholes drilled as part of the MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative, airborne electromagnetic data collected under the AusAEM program, new active seismic data, and geochronology from legacy boreholes. These data are available to view and download from the Geoscience Australia portal (https://portal.ga.gov.au).

We interpret that basement in the East Tennant region does represent the eastern continuation of the Warramunga Province. There is no obvious geophysical or geological boundary between Tennant Creek and East Tennant. However, the East Tennant region mostly lacks stratigraphy equivalent to the Ooradidgee Group, which overlies and postdates mineralisation in turbiditic rocks of the Warramunga Formation at Tennant Creek. Instead, East Tennant is underlain by a widespread succession of clastic metapelitic rocks that bear many lithological and geochronological similarities to the Warramunga Formation (Cross et al. 2020). Other important outcomes of this work include the documentation of significant regional faults and shear zones and abundant intrusive rocks at East Tennant. Geophysical and geochronological data suggest that this deformation and magmatism is the eastern continuation of ~1850 Ma tectonism preserved at Tennant Creek (e.g. Cross et al. 2020).

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Sanctuary Program, has conducted seabed mapping and related research in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region since 1993. The area is approximately 3,700 square kilometers (km2) and is subdivided into 18 quadrangles. Seven maps, at a scale of 1:25,000, of quadrangle 6 (211 km2) depict seabed topography, backscatter, ruggedness, geology, substrate mobility, mud content, and areas dominated by fine-grained or coarse-grained sand. Interpretations of bathymetric and seabed backscatter imagery, photographs, video, and grain-size analyses were used to create the geology-based maps. In all, data from 420 stations were analyzed, including sediment samples from 325 locations. The seabed geology map shows the distribution of 10 substrate types ranging from boulder ridges to immobile, muddy sand to mobile, rippled sand. Substrate types are defined on the basis of sediment grain-size composition, surficial morphology, sediment layering, and the mobility or immobility of substrate surfaces. This map series is intended to portray the major geological elements (substrates, features, processes) of environments within quadrangle 6. Additionally, these maps will be the basis for the study of the ecological requirements of invertebrate and vertebrate species that utilize these substrates and guide seabed management in the region.

Field Review: Stephen Castor, NBMG; Larry Garside, NBMG; Kyle House, NBMG; Alan Ramelli, NBMG; Marith Reheis, U.S. Geological Survey. Geologic mapping was supported by the U.S. Geological Survey State Map Program (Agreements No. 00-HQ-AG-0048 and No. 01-HQ-AG-0037). The Dogskin Mountain Quadrangle (DMQ) lies about 40 km (25 miles) north of the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area. The DMQ encompasses most of Dogskin Mountain and the western part of the Virginia Mountains, two northwest-trending ranges that are separated by Winnemucca Valley. Geologic mapping of the DMQ was undertaken for several applied and scientific reasons and is part of a broader investigation of the northern Walker Lane, a northwest trending belt of active, right-lateral strike-slip faults. We thank Steve Castor, John Dilles, Larry Garside, Kyle House, Alan Ramelli, and Marith Reheis for thorough constructive reviews. 40Ar/39Ar ages were determined at the New Mexico Geochronology Research Laboratory under the guidance of Bill McIntosh and Matt Heizler. All ages reported here are calculated relative to a monitor age of 28.02 Ma on sanidine from Fish Canyon Tuff (Renne and others, 1998). These ages are slightly greater than those reported in Garside and others (2003), which used a monitor age of 27.84 Ma.

description: New 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping along the Interstate-70 urban corridor in western Colorado, in support of the State/ USGS Cooperative Geologic Mapping Project, is contributing to a more complete understanding of the stratigraphy, structure, tectonic evolution, and hazard potential of this rapidly developing region. The 1:24,000-scale Vail East quadrangle straddles the Gore fault system, the western structural boundary of the Gore Range. The Gore fault system is a contractional structure that has been recurrently active since at least the early Paleozoic and marks the approximate eastern boundary of the Central Colorado trough, a thick late Paleozoic depocenter into which thousands of meters of clastic sediment were deposited from several uplifts, including the ancestral Front Range. The Gore fault was active during both the late Paleozoic and Upper Cretaceous-lower Tertiary (Laramide) deformations. In addition, numerous north-northwest faults that cut the crystalline rocks of the Gore Range were active during at least 5 periods, the last of which was related to Neogene uplift of the Gore Range and formation of the northern Rio Grande rift. Early Proterozoic crystalline rocks underlie the high Gore Range, north and east of the Gore fault system. These rocks consist predominantly of migmatitic biotite gneiss intruded by mostly granitic rocks of the 1.667-1.750 Ma Cross Creek batholith, part of the 1,667-1,750 Ma Routt Plutonic Suite ( Tweto, 1987). Southwest of the Gore fault, a mostly gently south-dipping sequence of Pennsylvanian Mimturn Formation, as thick as 1,900 m, and the Permian and Pennsylvanian Maroon Formation (only the basal several hundred meters are exposed in the quadrangle)were shed from the ancestral Front Range and overlie a thin sequence of Devonian and Cambrian rocks. The Minturn Formation is a sequence of interlayered pink, maroon, and gray conglomerate, sandstone, shale, and marine limestone. The Maroon Formation is mostly reddish conglomerate and sandstone. Glacial till of both the middle Pleistocene Bull Lake and late Pleistocene Pinedale glaciations are well exposed along parts of the Gore Creek valley and its tributaries, although human development has profoundly altered the outcrop patterns along the Gore Creek valley bottom. Landslides, some of which are currently active, are also mapped.; abstract: New 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping along the Interstate-70 urban corridor in western Colorado, in support of the State/ USGS Cooperative Geologic Mapping Project, is contributing to a more complete understanding of the stratigraphy, structure, tectonic evolution, and hazard potential of this rapidly developing region.
