Geologic map of the Hurricane quadrangle, Washington County, Utah (M-187)

By: R. F. Biek

The Hurricane quadrangle lies in the transition zone between the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range physiographic provinces. About 8,200 feet of sedimentary rock ranging in age from the Early Permian Queantoweap Sandstone to the Late Cretaceous Iron Springs Formation is exposed in the quadrangle. Eight Quaternary basaltic flows or groups of flows, five cinder cone complexes, and a variety of Quaternary deposits are also present. The strata have been affected by both the Late Cretaceous Sevier orogeny and late Cenozoic extension.
