The volcanic rocks of the Ohanapecosh episode of the Cascade Magmatic Arc (Tcao) were intruded by a small ~10 m.y. old pluton, the quartz monzodiorite of Redoubt Creek (Cascade Pass family, QTcp, of the Cascade Magmatic arc). Qag, young alpine glacial moraine. Contacts (thin lines) and fault (heavy line) dashed where approximately located and dotted where concealed. View image with annotation
