The Abiquiu region includes some of the most spectacular and
diverse geology in the state of New Mexico. A triple junction of
geologic provinces, including the Colorado Plateau, the Rio Grande
Rift, and the Jemez Volcanic Field, coincide to tell a fascinating
story of landscape evolution in constant change. Abiquiu: The
Geologic History of O'Keeffe Country presents the
three-hundred-million-year history told by the rocks of the Abiquiu
area. With stunning photographs, timelines, and a regional geologic
map, noted geologist Kirt Kempter explains the geologic story and
landscape evolution of the region for travelers, hikers, and
armchair geologists. With large-scale aerial photographs showing
major geologic features, explanations of volcanic activity related
to the Rio Grande Rift, and detailed descriptions of geologic
strata that make up O'Keeffe's beloved Cerro Pedernal, Abiquiu
tells the many chapters of changing environments and landscapes
from Abiquiu's geologic past.
