Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This report includes a 1:24,000 scale geologic map of a portion of the central Gila Bend Mountains. The map covers portions of the Fourth of July Butte, Gillespie, and Quail Springs Wash 7.5' quadrangles and was produced as part of the U. S. Geological Survey - Arizona Geological Survey Cooperative Geologic Mapping (COGEOMAP) Program. The goal of this ongoing program is to map areas for which inadequate geologic information exists. The central part of the Gila Bend Mountains was chosen because it had previously been mapped only at reconnaissance scale, and has been recently explored for its metallic mineral resources.
