Diagram illustrating the inferred mode of formation of the more important minor structural features of the Humboldt Lake range as a simple modification of figure 2. The valleys are repre- sented filled with alluvium and Quaternary, which hide any basalt that may exist on the sunken blocks. The effect of erosion on the fault-scarps and the existence of alluvial cones is not repre- sented, but the transition is easy from this diagram to the detailed section (plate 21) of the Humboldt Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Geological Society of America.
