Gravity, magnetic, and generalized geologic map of the Van Horn -- Sierra Blanca Region, Trans-Pecos Texas Gravity, magnetic, and generalized geologic map of the Van Horn -- Sierra Blanca Region, Trans-Pecos Texas 1972

The Van Horn-Sierra Blanca region lies athwart part of the boundary between two contrasting geologic provinces. The contrast between these two provinces, splendidly displayed by Holocene landforms in the present map area, has a history that dates back to at least Late Precambrian time.
