One 52" x 33" sheet. From text: The accompanying 250-km cross section and strip map span most of the width of the southern Great Basin. They extend from the Sierra Nevada batholith on the west. across a Mesozoic-early Cenozoic(?) north-trending anticlinorium, to the Mesozoic foreland thrust and fold belt on the east. Available seismic and gravity data indicate a westward crustal thickening from about 34 km beneath Las Vegas Valley to about 50 km beneath the Sierra Nevada.
