Abstract | The region discussed in this paper comprises south-central New Mexico and adjacent parts of Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico (Fig. 1). Emphasis is on Quaternary events and alluvial deposits in the Dona Ana County area of the Mexican Highlands section, Basin and Range province. Many of the local features mentioned herein are described in the road-log section of this guidebook, particularly at Day 2 and 3 tour stops. Aspects of Quaternary research in the area are also discussed in companion guidebook papers by Dick-Peddie, Hawley, Hoffer, Fox, Stone and Brown, and King and Hawley. |
