Description

Schwerin (1928) described the McWade Fault as branching eastward off the Peters Creek Fault Zone north of Cave in Rock, then turning northward and rejoining the Peters Creek. Currier and Hubbert (1944, p. 28) remapped the area and could not confirm the existence of the McWade Fault. Baxter et al. (1963) again mapped the area and did not mention or indicate the McWade Fault; therefore, the name McWade Fault should not be used.
