#### Abstract

The area lies in west-central Nevada near the western border of the Basin and 
Range province. Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks the chief subject of this report 
occur in isolated mountain ranges separated by stretches of Tertiary and 
Quaternary volcanic rocks, lacustrine deposits and alluvium. The report is 
concerned principally with the geology of the pre-Tertiary rocks and attempt is 
made to unravel the complex diastrophisni that occurred in the area during the 
Jurassic.
