“…The structural geology of the area is complex. Outcrop patterns of en echelon appearing folds and faults along the front of the Nacimiento uplift gave rise to the transpressive margin hypothesis of Baltz (1967) , using citations from several authors, recount a complex history for the Nacimiento uplift involving initial strike slip and later compression to form a slight overhang. Regardless, several folds and faults are observable along the west flank of the Archuleta uplift immediately to the east of the reservation ( Figure 9).…”

“…Rainfall is rare in the early summer and winter; most precipitation is received in July and Deposition of organic material was influenced by the strandline as shown by both the continuity of the coal beds parallel to the northwest-southeast strandline and their discontinuity perpendicular to it to the northeast. (Baltz, 1967). Reeside (1924) stated that the rocks in the area are "nearly horizontal".…”

“…Both are intermittent streams draining northwest into the San Juan River. The mesas were once part of broad plains graded to the former level of Canon Largo (Baltz, 1967). Tributary streams subsequently incised the plains, carving the resultant steep-walled canyons and mesas.…”
