Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Uravan Area, Colorado (open access)

Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Uravan Area, Colorado

From introduction: Geophysical surveys have been made in the Uravan area, in southwest Colorado, with the aim of providing information on regional geology, especially on those aspects that may not be apparent from surface evidence alone. Aeromagnetic surveys were made in 1952, and regional gravity surveys were made during the summers of 1953 and 1954. Figure 1 shows the area covered. Information on surface geology was obtained from publications, from geologists working on the Colorado Plateau, and from personal observations.

Tectonic Map of Northern Colorado and Northeastern Utah, Showing the Distribution of Uranium Deposits (open access)

Tectonic Map of Northern Colorado and Northeastern Utah, Showing the Distribution of Uranium Deposits

From introduction: The compilation of the tectonic map of northern Colorado and northeastern Utah (area h, fig. 2) was done by the U. S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Structures shown on the map have been obtained from published geologic maps, and from unpublished data supplied by government agencies, private companies, and independent geologists. The various structures of the Foreland can be divided into three large classes to show the relation of uranium deposits to the structural pattern.
