USGS EdMap 2022 Swales Mountain Map

The dataset attached includes all the field notes taken while mapping the Swales Mountain area for a 2021-2022 USGS EdMap funded project. This dataset is compatible with an updated geologic map of Swales Mountain, NV (7.5’ quadrangle at 1:5,000 scale). Swales Mountain hosts a shallow to mid-crustal Eocene magmatic system. The goal of this project was to remap the various subvolcanic and plutonic igneous units in greater detail. The seven different units which range from rhyolite to andesite. The newly presented information from the Swales Mountain geologic map can aid in better understanding the evolution of modern and ancient arc magmatic systems alike.
