Description: The Precambrian structure contour map is based primarily on the subsea elevation (and therefore depth) of 1114 wells drilled throughout the state. In each of these wells, depth to top of Precambrian was obtained from the published basinal studies listed above or, in areas outside of those basins, was correlated on geophysical well logs or sample logs for this study. These are high quality data. Tops were obtained from scout cards for ess than 100 wells and these Precambrian tops represent lower-quality data. Faults were mapped as indicated by the above-cited studies or as indicated on the surface geologic map of the state (New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, 2003).

Description: A structure contour map on top of the Precambrian was prepared by the author as part of a report on the statewide distribution of natural CO2 gases in the subsurface (Broadhead et al., 2009). An understanding of the structure of the Precambrian and the structural relief on top of the Precambrian is necessary to understanding the locations and boundaries of basins and uplifts in the state. Many of the uplifts and basins are largely buried beneath strata that post-date the structural formation of the basins. Distribution and structure of basins and uplifts controls the distribution and thickness of stratigraphic units and is also integral to understanding the distributions and trends of major tectonic elements in the state. It also controls depth to mineralization in Precambrian rocks.

Description: This feature class represents point locations of volcanic vents. At larger scales, these vents would be represented as polygons, but at the scale of this map are shown as point locations.

Description: Geologic map of New Mexico. This feature class represents dikes, both volcanic and plutonic, that do not have sufficient area to be mapped as polygons. Features that are not linear and don't occupy enough area to be mapped as polygons are recorded as Feature_points.

Description: This feature class represents contacts between geologic units which may be either lithostratigraphic (stratiform) and lithodemic (do not conform to law of superposition). Lithologic Contacts are used to build polygons (Lithologic Units) and are topologically related to these polygons. Fault contacts (faults) are duplicated here since they bound geologic units, however, no details of the nature of the fault are attributed, which simplifies building polygon topology.

Description: Originally compiled in 1998 by USGS personnel (Machette et al., 1998), the map of Quaternary faults and folds in New Mexico has undergone significant revision through studies employing a combination of field mapping, geochronology, and remote sensing techniques. This geodatabase represents a synthesis of these studies and remapping of Quaternary structures in order to present an updated version of the 1998 map.
