Abstract
This publication features a 1 : 100,000-scale geologic map of the Rawlins 30' x 60' quadrangle, in Carbon and Sweetwater counties, Wyoming. The map offers a comprehensive update of the area's bedrock geology, combining existing studies with new information from aerial photos, lidar, and fieldwork. It highlights various geological features, such as the Rawlins Uplift, Haystack Mountains, the eastern edge of the Great Divide and Washakie basins, and Miller Hill. The rock layers, ranging from the Precambrian (Mesoarchean) to the Quaternary, illustrate a complex geological history, with a wide range of rock formations found in Wyoming represented within the map area.
