Abstract
At the suggestion of Dr. Bulwalda of the Institute Staff, the mapping and investigation of this hitherto little known section of the Mojave Desert was undertaken. It had been known for some time that there were marine beds lying in the extreme western corner of the desert, their age relation however, had been but tentatively determined and their areal extend and structural relations were unknown. U.S. Geol. Survey Water Supply Paper 278 by Harry R. Johnson is the only paper known to the writer which deals with this area.
In the present study, an effort is made to map the areal geology as carefully as possible in the short time available and to determine the age and structural relations of the marine formation.
