Thus, this <br /> <br />fault poses a real (although certainly small) earthquake threat to the <br /> <br />proposed Cross Mountain Dam. <br /> <br />3. East Fault -- This fault, located at the east end of Cross Moun- <br /> <br />tain Canyon, although of much lesser magnitude than the Cross Mountain Fault, <br />is nonetheless interesting, because it is easy to see and interpret. It is <br />a west-dipping reverse fault, along which the Cambrian Lodore Formation on <br />the west side is in contact with the Mississippian Madison Limestone on the <br /> <br />east side. <br /> <br />4. Faults at the ~ end of Juni per Canyon -- These two faults, <br /> <br />which can be seen easily from the top of the south wall of Juniper Canyon <br /> <br />near its east end, are east-dipping, low-angle reverse faults which cause <br /> <br />repetition of parts of the Pennsylvanian Morgan Formation on both sides of <br /> <br />the canyon. The faults appear to be imbricate in nature. <br /> <br />5. Entrenched Meanders -- The entrenched meanders previously dis- <br /> <br />cussed (See page <br /> <br />5) are certainly among the best examples of this <br /> <br />feature to be found anywhere in Colorado - especially the double loop in <br /> <br />the vicinity of Signal Butte and the southwest-projecting spur just south- <br /> <br /> <br />east of Horse Gulch (T6N, R93W, Sections 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33). <br /> <br />6. Round Bottom -- This area (T5N, R92W, Section 3 and T6N, R92W, <br /> <br />Section 34), besides being a fine hay meadow, is an excellent example of <br /> <br />a modern floodplain within an entrenched meander system. <br /> <br />7. Juniper Hot Springs -- Although several areas of geothermal ac- <br /> <br />tivity are located within the state of Colorado, such phenomena are <br />
