The quadrangle is underlain by poorly consolidated sedimentary rocks of the Santa Fe Group. These rocks are best exposed in the southwestern part of the quadrangle in the Rincones de Zia, a badland topography cut by northward-flowing tributary arroyos of the Jemez River. The Jemez River flows through the northern half of the quadrangle; extensive fluvial and eolian deposits cover bedrock units along the river. The structural fabric of the quadrangle is dominated by dozens of generally north striking, east and west-dipping normal faults and minor folds associated with the Neogene Rio Grande rift. Purpose: The geology of the Bernalillo NW quadrangle was mapped as part of the USGS Middle Rio Grande Basin project to explore the geologic framework of water resources in the region.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: SunOS, 5.7, sun4d UNIX ARC/INFO version 8.1 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Original data were drawn on two 1:24,000-scale mylar greenlines by the authors. D.J. Koning was responsible for mapping bedrock and surficial deposits south of the Jemez River; S.F. Personius was responsible for mapping bedrock and surficial deposits north of the Jemez River, surficial deposits adjacent to the Jemez River, and geologic compilation of the quadrangle. Attributes have been checked by both the author and reviewers for accuracy and completeness. Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon and chain-node topology present. Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon attributes, and other errors. Automated (ARC/INFO) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. The map was reviewed by other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards. Completeness_Report: Some areas of the southeastern part of the map on lands of Santo Ana Pueblo were not visited or field checked. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Lines and point locations were primarily mapped by photo-interpretation of field-marked 1:20,000-scale black and white, 1:36,000 color, and 1:40,000-scale color-infrared aerial photographs using a PG-2 photogrammetric plotter that rectified the position and transferred locations to a 1:24,000-scale base map.

Process_Date: 19990501 Process_Step: Process_Description: Compilation with stereo aerial photography on PG-2 plotter by the authors. Process_Date: 19991001 Process_Step: Process_Description: Cole combined the geologic features mapped separately by Personius and Koning and created punch-registered mylar sheets at 1:24,000-scale to facilitate digitization. One mylar sheet contained all geologic contact lines (traced from the geologists' original greenlines), a second contained all fault features, and a third contained all fold axes, tephra beds, and related linear features that do not affect polygons. Registration marks were positioned on the mylar sheets by inspection at 2.5-minute intervals to facilitate geo-registering and combining the scanned/digitized files for the map database. Process_Date: 2001 Process_Step: Process_Description: Polygons, lines, and points representing geologic features and data points were digitized from scale-stable compilation materials using 'heads up digitizing' in ArcInfo to create geology, line, and point coverages. Polygon topology was built in the geology coverage. Process_Date: 2001 Process_Step: Process_Description: Text map unit descriptors were added to the .AAT and .PAT database files for each coverage. Process_Date: 2001 Process_Step: Process_Description: Draft check plots of the geologic map and explanation were created and submitted for peer review. Geologists reviewed the plots for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Revisions were made to the geospatial database as needed.

Process_Date: 2002 Process_Step: Process_Description: The database files, metadata, and check plots were edited by the USGS Central Publications Group, and revisions made to the geospatial database as needed. Process_Date: 2002 Process_Step: Process_Description: Final preparation of the geospatial database for distribution, and preparation of map-on-demand files and metadata.
