Description:
Abstract:
This quadrangle lies 6.4 km (4 mi) northeast of Bozeman, Mont., in
southwestern Montana. Metamorphic, sedimentary, and volcanic rocks
of Precambrian to Tertiary age are exposed in the Bridger Range and
southwestern margin of the Crazy Mountains Basin in a crustal cross
section and a structural triangle zone. Surface geology records
Precambrian extension, Late Paleocene east-vergent contraction,
including backthrusts, and Holocene basin-range extension.
Purpose:
The geology of the Sedan quadrangle was mapped as part of a regional
study of the western Crazy Mountains Basin. It was digitized for ease
of production of the printed version and for greater distribution for
analytical use.
Supplemental_Information:
A preliminary map was published as a U.S. Geological Survey Open-File
Report in 1971. The geologic data was interpreted 1965-93, the
interpretation being informed by data from two wells in addition to the
original field work. The digital files for the map were released in
November 1998. The map-on-demand edition, released in January 2000,
includes supplemental figures,three cross sections, and interpretive
text.
Users should be aware that of the many faults mapped, the only active
one is the range front fault on the west side of the Bridger Range.
The dataset for the Sedan quadrangle consists of 10 coverages: geo_net,
geo_pnt, stru_net, stru_pnt, data_net, data_pnt, pnt_sym, pnt_graphic,
stpnt_graphic, and dvalues. The three coverages pnt_graphic,
stpnt_graphic, and dvalues are not "true" ARC/INFO coverages. They
contain the graphic representations of symbols used on the geologic map:
pnt_sym = pnt_graphic,
stru_pnt and geo_pnt = stpnt_graphic, and
dvalues = annotation for stru_pnt and geo_pnt.
