The geologic map included with this report represents a compilation of current and recent
New Mexico NMBGMR STATEMAP and EDMAP work in the southern Española Basin.
Work in the basin is ongoing such that these maps/GIS data are subject to revision as new
data and interpretations emerge.

This work was done in cooperation with the
New Mexico Office of the State Engineer
Most of the detailed geologic mapping work this compilation is based on was performed under the
STATEMAP component of the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. The U.S.
Geological Survey and the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (a division of New
Mexico Tech) provided funding for geological mapping. The New Mexico Office of the State Engineer
provided funding for the compilation effort as well as an ongoing hydrogeologic investigation.
Data depicted on this geologic map are based on reconnaissance field geologic mapping, compilation of
published and unpublished work, and photogeologic interpretation. Locations of contacts are not surveyed,
but are plotted by interpretation of the position of a given contact onto a topographic base map; therefore,
the accuracy of contact locations depends on the scale of mapping and the interpretation of the geologists
involved.
The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be
interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the State of New
Mexico, or the U.S. Government. Cross-sections are constructed based upon the interpretations of the
authors made from geologic mapping, and available geophysical (regional gravity and aeromagnetic
surveys), and subsurface (drillhole) data. Cross-sections should be used as an aid to understanding the
general geologic framework of the map area, and not be the sole source of information for use in locating
or designing wells, buildings, roads, or other man-made structures.
