EXPLANATION OF MAP SYMBOLS[Faults and folds are solid where location is certain; dashed where location is inferred; dotted where location is concealed. Queries added where identity or existence may be questionable]
Contact—Solid where location is certain
FaultsNormal fault—Bar and ball on downthrown side. Showing dip where known
Low-angle normal fault—Half-circles on upper plate
Folds—Showing trace of axial surface and direction of plunge where appropriateAnticline
Syncline
Synform
Strike and dip of bedding and volcanic layeringInclined—Showing dip where known
Horizontal
Strike and dip of foliation—Metamorphic or tectonic foliation in gneiss; compaction foliation in welded tuff
Inclined—Showing dip where known
Horizontal
Vertical
Slickenlines—Showing trend and plunge
Form lines on lithologic layering—Showing dip direction or verticality as interpreted from aerial imagery
Inclined
Vertical
Form line showing general orientation of metamorphic or tectonic foliation in cross section
Drill hole—Approximate location (see table 1)
Fluvial current direction—From imbrication and crossbedding in ancestral Colorado River deposits
