Full Title: Geologic Map of the Central Wassuk Range, Western Nevada

FOLDED FORMAT: 1 color plate (approx. 36" x 62") plus 10 p. text

Compiler: B.E. Surpless

The Geologic Map of the Central Wassuk Range, Western Nevada, displays the effects of large magnitude Middle Miocene extension related to Basin and Range deformation. Extension across the map area was primarily accommodated by multiple generations of east-dipping normal faults, which repeat sections of the Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy. The extensional strain rate for this middle Miocene event is comparable to the highest rates of strain documented in the Basin and Range province.
