This is a general-purpose geologic map of bedrock and surficial deposits in the Raton basin of northern New Mexico. It was compiled to provide a geologic context for regional interpretation of stratigraphic relations and coal resources of the Raton basin. This map was published following the untimely death of the author on August 22, 2003.
