Description:
Abstract:
The Geology of Caballo and Apache Gap quadrangles, Sierra County, New Mexico, are available only as a georeferenced file. This map is part of a larger study of the Caballo Mountains that includes providing complete map coverage at a scale of 1:24,000; six maps have been published in print. As a supplement to the quadrangle maps, Memoir 49, Geology of the Caballo Mountains, New Mexico, was released in 2003.
Purpose:
To provide an understanding of the geology of Caballo and Apache Gap quadrangles.

This map graphically displays information on the geology of Caballo and Apache Gap quadrangles mapped at a scale of 1:24,000. Units are separated by geologic contacts, which are irregular surfaces that form boundaries between these units. Locations of contacts are not surveyed, but are plotted by interpretation of the position of a given contact onto USGS 1:24,000 topographic base maps. The accuracy of contact locations depends upon interpretations of the geologists and may vary significantly. Any enlargement or reduction of this map could cause misunderstanding in the detail of mapping and may result in erroneous interpretations. The information on this map cannot be substituted for site-specific geologic, hydrogeologic, or geotechnical investigations. The use of this map to locate buildings, etc. relative to the geologic framework is not recommended without site-specific studies conducted by qualified earth science professionals. The interpretations contained in this map are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied of the governments of the United States and the State of New Mexico.
