Description

Weller et al. (1952) described the Rose Creek Fault as a normal fault striking east-northeast and dipping south-southeast in Section 11, T11S, R7E. Baxter et al. (1967) remapped the area and did not label or discuss the Rose Creek Fault. Their geologic map shows a complex system of faults extending through Section 11. These faults lie north of the apex of Hicks Dome and are mostly tangential to the dome. The Rose Creek Fault is too poorly defined to warrant continued use of the name.
