The Organ Mountains fault occurs along
the easternside of the Organ and SanAndres
Mountains in Dofra Ana Countv, New Mexico. The fault is one of the youngestin New
Mexico and is of particular local interest and
significancebecause(1) episodesof faulting
are accompanied by severe earthquake activity, (2) major centers of population are
nearby, and (3) the fault is very close to the
headquarters of White Sands Missile Range
(WSMR).This report presentsa study of soils,
geomorphology, and evidence of both late
Holocene and pre-Holocene displacements
along the fault.
