Abstract
Several noteworthy examples of magnetic evidence of strike-slip faults have been published in recent years, including examples in the Pacific Ocean (Vacquier et al. 1961) and the western Atlantic Ocean (Drake and Woodward, 1963). Aeromagnetic data indicate vertical and horizontal movement along the southern edge of the Hueco Mountains, El Paso and Hudspeth Counties, Texas. The amount of slip is small compared to the published examples, but displacement is of interest because it occurs at the junction of two large, vastly different geologic provinces, the Basin and Range province to the north and the thrust belt of northern Mexico to the south.
