Abstract

Quaternary geology was mapped for three 7.5 minute quadrangles in the Safford Basin, Graham County, AZ: Artesia, Safford, and Thatcher. The geologic mapping is original but informed by previous work in the Gila River Valley (e.g., Gootee, 2012, Houser, 1990, and Houser et al., 1985, among others). Holocene geomorphic boundaries of the Gila River are based on work by Klawon et al. (2004). The bedrock geology was derived from Thorman and Naruk (1987). Quaternary faults stem from the AZGS Quaternary fault database developed by P.A. Pearthree and from Menges and Pearthree (1983).
