The geology of the Bernalillo NW quadrangle was mapped as part of the USGS Middle Rio Grande Basin project to explore the geologic framework of water resources in the region.

Original data were drawn on two 1:24,000-scale mylar greenlines by the authors. D.J. Koning was responsible for mapping bedrock and surficial deposits south of the Jemez River; S.F. Personius was responsible for mapping bedrock and surficial deposits north of the Jemez River, surficial deposits adjacent to the Jemez River, and geologic compilation of the quadrangle.
Attributes have been checked by both the author and reviewers for accuracy and completeness.
Lines and point locations were primarily mapped by photo-interpretation of field-marked 1:20,000-scale black and white, 1:36,000 color, and 1:40,000-scale color-infrared aerial photographs using a PG-2 photogrammetric plotter that rectified the position and transferred locations to a 1:24,000-scale base map.
Some areas of the southeastern part of the map on lands of Santo Ana Pueblo were not visited or field checked.
Polygon and chain-node topology present.
Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon attributes, and other errors. Automated (ARC/INFO) routines were also used
to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information.
The map was reviewed by other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards.
