No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: One of a very few photos of the Rio Grande rift showing the interaction between faults of the rift valley, which head northward from El Paso, and faults of the Border Corridor transform zone, which head southeastward to Big Bend National Park. The Franklin Mountains, within El Paso, trend north and are typical of the rift ranges throughout New Mexico and into Colorado. Sierra Samalayuca (SE of Sierra Juarez near El Paso) trends southeast, as do most ranges within the transform zone. Volcanoes commonly mark such corners where major rift structures change trend; the Potrillo Mountains (dark area west of El Paso) are volcanic peaks in that setting.
