This geologic map was produced to compile and reinterpret published geologic information, and present the result of new geologic mapping in the Ray-Superior area. This data set serves as the basis for ongoing efforts to better understand the geologic history of this area, particularly with respect to the distribution and origin of mineral deposits.

The Picketpost Mountain and Iron Mountain 7.5' quadrangles are located east of the Phoenix metropolitan area and are within the Basin and Range physiographic and tectonic province of southwestern North America.
