The pamphlet provides direct or indirect age constraints for many of the geologic units, including new IRSL ages for glacial and nonglacial deposits (Appendix A). See Morrison (1991) for Pleistocene age constraints on the glacial and nonglacial intervals. Tabor and others (1993) indicate that the Western mélange belt meta-intrusive rocks (unit KJigbw) are ~150–170 Ma and are about the same age or older than the Kimmeridgian to Valanginian (157–134 Ma) metasedimentary rocks of the belt. However, detrital zircon U-Pb ages for unit KJmsw (Dragovich and others, 2014) indicate that the metasandstone in this unit is locally as young as 74 Ma.

MAJOR FINDINGS
• The Explorer Falls basin preserves a thick sequence of weathered Pleistocene Pilchuck River provenance alluvium that has been locally inverted due to on-going regional north-south compression.
• We suggest that the Pilchuck River anticline is a mid-to late-Pleistocene growth fold in the northern part of the Explorer Falls basin—this fold is directly south of the locally active Carpenter Creek fault (CCF) and generally above the Carpenter Creek earthquake cluster (CCEC).
• The northwest-trending right-lateral to oblique-slip Granite Falls fault zone (GFFZ) forms the eastern edge of the Bosworth Lake basin, which is a small, eastern arm of the greater Everett basin.
• The Granite Falls stock is the source for numerous dikes and the sub-volcanic magmatic rhyolites in the map area. The stock is thought to have intruded into a “pull-apart” or extensional structure during regional Eocene transtension.
• Widespread ultramafite within and west of the GFFZ may mark the lowermost thrust of the Eastern mélange belt (EMB) over the Western mélange belt (WMB). Additionally, stratigraphically coherent low-grade metasediments of the WMB were locally mapped east of the GFFZ in the quadrangle.
• Our array of portable seismic instruments deployed around the CCEC has detected micro and minor earthquakes along an east-northeast-trending band that we correlated broadly with the CCF. However, they likely include smaller strains along conjugate faults to the CCF that were generated by earlier larger CCF seismic events.
DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS(see pamphlet for detailed map unit descriptions and Table 1 for sand provenance information) Quaternary Sedimentary Deposits
HOLOCENE NONGLACIAL DEPOSITS
Peat—Loose or soft peat, muck, and organic silt and clay, locally with diatomite and thin beds of Mazama ash (Rigg, 1958). Peat is found in abandoned river-channel depressions where it is interstratified with alluvial deposits (for example, in the South Fork Stillaguamish River valley) or deposited in upland depressions and kettles over low-permeability glacial deposits such as till or poorly sorted ice-contact deposits.
Alluvium—Sand, silt, gravelly sand, and sandy pebble gravel; locally includes peat and organic sediment and (or) cobble gravel; clasts subrounded to rounded; well stratified and sorted; sand is planar bedded; woody debris and detrital wood are common.
Landslide deposits (Holocene to latest Pleistocene)—Diamicton (unsorted mixture of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and wood debris) or boulder gravel, and local, minor, amounts of sand or gravel. Only large landslides are shown; absence of a mapped landslide does not imply absence of hazard.
Alluvial fan deposits (Holocene to latest Pleistocene)—Diamicton, alluvial gravel, boulder gravel, and sand; poorly to moderately sorted; moderately stratified to massive; locally contain significant debris flow deposits.
PLEISTOCENE GLACIAL AND NONGLACIAL DEPOSITSDeposits of the Vashon Stade of the Fraser GlaciationVashon Recessional Deposits

Vashon outwash sand—Sand and pebbly sand with some interbeds of silty sand, silt, or gravel; loose or soft; unstratified to weakly stratified to planar bedded, laminated, and rarely crossbedded.
Vashon deltaic outwash and kame deltas—Sandy cobble gravel, gravel, pebbly sand; loose; moderately to well sorted; thin to very thickly bedded; well stratified with conspicuous high-amplitude foreset beds.
Vashon fluvial outwash deposits—Cobble and boulder gravel, gravel, pebbly sand, and interbeds of sand and rare silt; loose; moderately to well stratified; commonly contains medium to very thick subhorizontal beds with bar or ripple crossbedding, imbricated gravel, scour structures, and rip-up clasts.
Vashon ice-contact deposits—Cobble to boulder gravel and gravel, locally containing diamicton, silty pebble gravel, sand, pebbly sand, and silt; loose or soft; moderately stratified and medium to very thickly bedded; abrupt grain-size changes common. Locally subdivided into:
Vashon ice-contact kames—Cobble and boulder gravel, gravel, sand, and pebbly sand, with lenses of diamicton; loose; crossbedded, with localized oversteepened or slumped strata; cut-and-fill structures and rip-up clasts of till or silt common.
Vashon outwash gravel deposits, undivided—Poorly exposed boulder–pebble gravel to pebbly sand; loose; massive to crudely bedded; largely ice-contact deposits; may include any of the gravelly Vashon recessional facies.
Vashon Advance Proglacial and Subglacial Deposits
Vashon lodgment till—Diamicton (unsorted mixture of clay, silt, sand, and gravel); matrix-supported; dense; accreted at the base of the Vashon ice; typically displays a friable shear fabric.
Vashon advance outwash deposits—Sand and pebble gravel, sand and cobble gravel, and local silt; dense; well sorted and stratified; thinly to thickly bedded; deltaic and bar foreset beds, cut-and-fill structures, and silt rip-up clasts common.
Vashon advance glaciolacustrine deposits—Silt, clayey silt, pebbly silt, and diamicton; stiff to hard, or dense to very dense; locally contains very thin to thick beds of sand, scattered dropstones, and iceberg melt-out or flow till; stratification and sorting vary; massive to thinly bedded, laminated, or varved.
Pre-Fraser Glacial and Nonglacial Deposits
Pre-Fraser continental nonglacial deposits, ancient Pilchuck River facies, undivided (Pleistocene)—Sand, silt, or clay, locally with some organic matter and peat, and less sand and gravel; deposited prior to the Fraser glaciation; sand is typically weathered to a yellow-brown-gray; dense; laminated to very thickly bedded and mostly well stratified; may contain charcoal, logs, sticks, disseminated organic matter, trough-and-ripple crossbedding, and graded beds.
