Summary

This geologic database is a digitized version of the 1:24,000-scale original analog geologic map titled "Geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. The map area straddles the Arizona-California border and includes the community of Parker, AZ, and the southeastern part of the Whipple Mountains, where the prominent Whipple Mountains Detachment Fault separates lower plate Cretaceous and older gneisses from upper plate crystalline, volcanic, and sedimentary rocks. The Whipple Mountains are surrounded by numerous Neogene sedimentary units that record the arrival and subsequent fluctuations of the [...]

Purpose

This product was made to digitally document the published large-scale geologic mapping of the area near Parker, AZ and the Whipple Mountains, CA. The database is a product of the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program’s (NCGMP) U.S. GeoFramework Initiative (USGI), which aims to seamlessly map the geology of the United States at an intermediate scale (~1:100,000). The database can be queried or plotted and will be used for further compilation efforts focusing on geologic mapping in the Lower Colorado River region of the southwestern United States.
