Geologic mapping of the Isleta Reservation and contiguous areas, Bernalillo, Valencia, and western Torrance Counties, New Mexico, has revised our understanding of the stratigraphy, structure, and geomorphic evolution of the Albuquerque Basin.
Instead, we interpret an older (late Oligocene-Miocene) northwest-trending structure that we call the Mountainview fault zone between the southwestern margin of the northwest-trending Mountainview prong and the Isleta Pueblo graben, a northwest-trending, fault-bounded depression.
The northwest-trending prong and depression were subsequently cut by younger, generally north-trending faults as the Albuquerque Basin widened during late(?) Miocene and Pliocene time.
