Technical Report · Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 EDT 1979

OSTI ID:5966556

Between September 26 and November 9, 1978, Aero Service Division Western Geophysical Company of America conducted a high sensitivity airborne gamma-ray spectrometer and magnetometer survey over the 2/sup 0/ x 1/sup 0/ NTMS quadrangle of Durango, Colorado. The survey area is bounded by the 106/sup 0/W and 108/sup 0/W meridians and the 37/sup 0/N and 38/sup 0/N parallels. The area contains rocks of the Colorado Plateau suite in the southwestern part. The remainder of the area, with the exception of the eastern margin, is underlain by intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and volcano-clastic sediments of Tertiary age. The eastern margin of the map is formed by the Quaternary alluvium of the San Juan Valley. The major river in the area is the Rio Grande, which drains the San Juan mountains to the east of the continental divide. The southwestern part of the San Juan mountains is drained by the San Juan river, a tributary of the Colorado River.
