Rose Creek Subdistrict2

The Rose Creek Subdistrict lies along the Rose Creek Fault, which underlies and aligns parallel with Rose Creek (Figure 10). This area is complex, with several faults apparently coming together (Baxter et al. 1967)[1]. Denny and Seid (2014)[2] mapped the area slightly differently, but this particular area is very complex, and more data are needed to map the area properly. Burmeister (1952)[3] indicated that several boreholes were drilled through the main fault that intersects a mineralized fault striking N 50° E and dipping 80° SE. Burmeister (1952)[4] also stated that the Waltersburg Sandstone was present at the collar of the Knox Mine and that the fault was normal, with a displacement of 380 feet. Weller et al. (1952)[5] traced the Rose Creek Fault in both directions for a distance of several miles.
