Summary
The Humboldt Mountain Quadrangle is located at the north edge of the Phoenix metropolitan area northeast of and adjacent to the town of Cave Creek, Arizona. The quadrangle straddles the hydrographic divide between the New River and Verde River basins. The quadrangle includes the upper Cave Creek drainage in the New River drainage basin, and the upper Camp Creek, lower Lime Creek, and upper Willow Springs Creek portions of the Verde River drainage basin. Geologic mapping of the Humboldt Mountain Quadrangle is one of a series of geologic maps covering the northeastern part of the Phoenix metropolitan area (Ferguson and others, 1998a, b; Leighty and others, 1997; Skotnicki, 1996a, b; and Skotnicki and others, 1997).
