Geology of Selected Areas, Sawmill Canyon Fault Zone, Northeast Santa Cruz County, Arizona

In 1991, with the encouragement of the U.S. Forest Service, I and a number of members of Escabrosa Grotto (a chapter of the National Speleological Society) began mapping a large cave, Cave Of The Bells in northeastern Santa Cruz county, Arizona. While entering the cave on 20 February 1994, I noted faulting in the entrance rock. On the same day, I decided to begin a survey of the surface geology. The survey was aided by a geologic study published by the U.S. Geological Survey: The structural Geology of the Santa Rita Mountains, Southeast of Tucson, Arizona (1972), by Harald Drewes.Documents in the AZGS Document Repository collection are made available by the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) and the University Libraries at the University of Arizona.
