Summary
These datasets provide remotely mapped lineaments and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico, based on 1-m lidar and satellite imagery data. Some lineaments are interpreted to be Quaternary-active faults, whereas others are interpreted to be older bedrock faults with no evidence for Quaternary movement. Simplified fault traces for interpreted Quaternary-active faults are provided for seismic hazard studies. These datasets are associated with the publication: Thompson Jobe, J.A. and Chupik, C.M., in press, Low-rate faulting on the margin of the Colorado Plateau and Rio Grande Rift in north-central New Mexico: Tectonics.

Purpose
These data were collected to document landscape evidence of possible recent faulting in the region and assess Quaternary fault activity for seismic hazard assessments.
