The northwestern corner of the quad is in Vance County. US Highway 401/NC Highway 39 enters the quad from the south, splits at the crossroads of Ingleside, with US 401 continuing NNE toward Warrenton and NC 39 NNW toward Henderson. NC Highway 561 traverses the extreme southeastern corner of the quad, running between Louisburg and Centerville. Aside from Ingleside itself, the quad contains the communities of Epsom (Vance County), and Kearney, Rocky Ford and Moulton (Franklin County), but no incorporated towns. The Tar River cuts across the southwestern portion of the quad, draining toward the southeast. A large portion of the quad is deeply dissected by south-flowing tributaries that empty into the Tar River. These are Gills Little Mill Creek, Eaves Creek, Lynch Creek, Tooles Creek, Giles Creek, Bear Swamp Creek, and Fox Creek. Sandy Creek cuts across the extreme northeastern corner of the quad, and the northeastern quarter of the quad is drained by Flatrock Creek and Devils Cradle Creek, themselves tributaries to Sandy Creek. The western portion of the quad features unusually rugged topography for this part of the eastern Piedmont, with local relief of up to 150 feet. Total relief in the quad is just over 300 feet, with elevations above sea level ranging from about 490 feet just northwest of Epsom to approximately 187 feet where the Tar River leaves the southern edge of the quad. The Ingleside quadrangle is dominantly underlain by granitoid rocks belonging to the late Paleozoic (Alleghanian) Rolesville batholith. The granites are intrusive into gneisses and schists of the Raleigh terrane, interpreted as an infrastructural component of a Neoproterozoic volcanic arc (Hibbard and others, 2002). Just to the east of the map area, in the Gold Sand quad (Fuemmeler, 2004; Stoddard and others, 2009) the Macon fault separates the Raleigh terrane from the suprastructural Spring Hope terrane to the east. In addition, Jurassic dikes of olivine diabase are common in the area, most striking north-northwest, as are linear zones of siliceous breccia, mostly northeast-trending, which are thought to represent brittle faulting of Mesozoic age (cf. Heller and others, 1998). Prior to this investigation, little geologic mapping had been undertaken in the quadrangle, although it has been included in a number of regional and reconnaissance studies. Parker (1968) defined the structural framework of the region. McDaniel (1980) mapped a multi-county region, including Franklin and Vance Counties, at a scale of 1:100,000. Farrar (1985a, b) mapped the entire eastern Piedmont of North Carolina, defined map units for the region, and proposed a model for the tectonic evolution of the region. As part of a regional radon assessment, Speer (unpublished) undertook reconnaissance mapping of the Rolesville batholith. He (Speer, 1994) also presented a map showing some granitoid plutons of the batholith, and describing some of their constituent facies. Sacks (1996a, b, c, d) mapped a strip of four 7.5-minute quadrangles along the Virginia-North Carolina border, along strike to the north-northeast. Adjacent to the field area, 1:24,000-scale mapping has been done for the Gold Sand quadrangle to the east (Fuemmeler, 2004; Stoddard and others, 2009), for the Kittrell quadrangle to the west (Stoddard and others, 2003), and for the Louisburg quadrangle to the south (Bechtel and others, 2010). DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS HYDROTHERMAL UNIT qrx - quartz rock and quartz breccia: Sizable accumulations of massive, milky quartz, commonly with vuggy crystals of clear, milky, or smoky quartz ranging from 1 mm to 5 cm. Locally includes brecciated and silicified granitoid rock having networks of thin quartz veins. Likely the result of quartz mineralization along brittle fracture zones or faults. Probable fault-surface features, including slickenlines, observed rarely in float. On the basis of such quartz occurrences, several fault segments are inferred and are depicted on the map as linear quartz breccia zones with trends typically E-W or NE-SW. At one outcrop (IN1470) an in situ fault surface strikes N11E and dips 72 NW (right-hand rule: 191, 72). Another significant fault zone crosses the Tar River (at station IN2439) in the south- western corner of the quad, striking NE. An excellent exposure of qrx, along an E-W fault segment, holds up an isolated hill due west of Moulton (station IN1980). The trace of another E-W fault, located due west of Ingleside, is well exposed in fairly rugged terrain. At one location (IN1672) where its trend intersects that of a diabase dike (Jd), no offset of the dike was seen, and though brecciated granitic rock is present, no diabase is brecciated. Thus the fault is inferred to pre-date the dike intrusion. Because the opposite relationship has been documented in the Middleburg quad to the northwest, it appears that diabase intrusion and brittle faulting in the eastern Piedmont were more or less contemporaneous in the Jurassic. On the map, yellow diamonds not associated with mapped faults indicate isolated outcrops or major float occurrences of qrx. INTRUSIVE UNITS Jp – Porphyry: Olive drab porphyritic rock with a very fine-grained (almost glassy) groundmass and phenocrysts of quartz having beta morphology and of plagioclase, with or without alkali feldspar. May belong to an unmapped dike. Observed at a single location northwest of Ingleside (IN1707). Jd – diabase: Fine to medium-grained, equigranular to locally plagioclase porphyritic diabase, typically olivine-bearing. Commonly weathers to black to tan-gray, spheroidal boulders and cobbles. Occurs in vertical to steeply dipping dikes. The traces of the larger dikes correlate with and may be partly inferred on the basis of linear magnetic highs. In the Ingleside quad, nearly all diabase dikes trend NW to NNW; one dike in the northwest corner of the quad trends N60E. Red dots indicates isolated outcrops or float occurrences. Granitoid rocks of the Rolesville batholith The Rolesville batholith is a large, composite granitoid intrusive complex in the Piedmont of North Carolina. It is elongate parallel to the typical north-northeast regional strike, and generally lies along the axial trace of the Wake – Warren anticlinorium, which passes approximately through the center of the Ingleside quad. Field evidence indicates that the Rolesville plutons intruded during or after the peak of regional metamorphism, and very limited radiometric age-dates indicate that they crystallized and cooled during the Pennsylvanian and Permian periods (Fullagar and Butler, 1979; Horton and Stern, 1994; Schneider and Samson, 2001). Previous studies dealing with the Rolesville batholith in the area covered by this map include those of Parker (1968), Becker and Farrar (1977), Farrar (1985a, b), Speer (1994), Speer and others (1994), and Speer and Hoff (1997). Granitoid rocks of the Rolesville batholith underlie most of the Ingleside quad, except for its eastern edge, and the northeastern quarter of the quad, where gneisses and schists of the Raleigh terrane occur. Leucogranite occurs as mapped bodies (PPge) and as unmapped smaller pods in the metamorphic terrane, especially associated with sillimanite-muscovite schist (CZsms). The leucogranite and five other granitoid facies are mapped in the Ingleside quadrangle, as detailed below. The dominant facies, PPgd, underlies most of the map. Granitic pegmatite bodies are associated with all of the mapped granitoids. PPge – granitoid facies e: Fine to medium-grained, non-porphyritic, locally foliated muscovite +/- garnet +/- biotite leucogranite. CI less than 5. Occurs primarily in the eastern Ingleside quadrangle and the northeastern Louisburg quadrangle, as well as the adjacent Gold Sand and Justice quadrangles. Typically intermingled with CZsms north of Moulton. PPgk – granitoid facies k: Medium-grained, generally equigranular white, pink, orange or buff biotite +/- muscovite leucogranite and granite, locally with garnet. CI = 2 - 8. Occurs in the east-central portion of the Ingleside quad in the upper portion of the Bear Swamp Creek drainage basin; associated with and contains xenoliths of gneiss and schist just south of Ingleside. Commonly cut by pegmatite dikes locally having smoky quartz. Intrudes and contains autoliths of fine-to-medium grained biotite granite PPgi at stations IN1818- 1823. PPgd – granitoid facies d: Fine to coarse-grained, but primarily medium-grained equigranular to moderately porphyritic (very rarely megacrystic), rarely foliated, pink or salmon and white biotite monzo- granite. Commonly has an almost idiomorphic fabric with well-formed alkali feldspar and plagioclase grains. CI = 5 - 12. Contains common biotite schlieren and local biotite crystal clots. Pegmatite dikes and pods are extremely common; locally, isolated xenocrysts of alkali feldspar 1 - 4 cm in length also occur. Unit also contains relatively common xenoliths of Raleigh terrane country rocks. Less commonly contains autoliths of fine granodiorite or tonalite and may display igneous layering between biotite-rich and biotite-poor phases. Weathered surfaces are commonly nubbly, friable and/or cavernous. Chemical analysis from station 01-LBG-1F from the west-central Louisburg quad has 70.55 wt percent SiO 2 , normative Q:A:P of 28:29:43 and normative 20.1 percent An. Likely equivalent to the Rolesville main phase of Speer (1994) but generally lacks muscovite. PPgi – granitoid facies i: Fine-grained to medium-grained white, light gray, or tan, equigranular to weakly porphyritic biotite +/- muscovite granite, locally with pink alkali feldspar. CI = 5 – 12. Locally contains alkali feldspar xenocrysts up to 8 mm in length, but does not contain schlieren or xenoliths and contains fewer pegmatite dikes than most other granitoid phases. Extends from north-central Louisburg quad into south-central Ingleside quad; cut by leucogranite east of SR 1237 (Beasley Road) at stations IN1818-19. Also mapped in a separate pod in the southwestern part of the quad north of the Tar River (IN 2442). PPgj – granitoid facies j: Heterogeneous granitoid unit consisting of streaky, gneissic, or layered biotite granitoid and biotite granitoid gneiss. Includes granite, leucogranite, and granodiorite and their gneissic counterparts. Generally medium grained but ranges from fine to coarse. Locally has alkali feldspar xenocrysts up to 3 cm. Locally exhibits strong compositional banding, elsewhere vague phase layering, boudinage of darker phases, biotite schlieren, or xenoliths of biotite gneiss. Additionally may contain feldspar or biotite foliation. Planar fabric elements may be contorted and possibly transposed. Pegmatite and aplite dikes are abundant and locally deformed. Occurs in northwestern and southwestern Ingleside quad. Always appears to be associated with granitoid of the Rolesville main phase PPgd. Well-exposed at station IN2536, in an east-flowing tributary to Lynch Creek just north of a sharp bend in SR 1003 (Sims Bridge Rd.), and in a large pavement exposure (station IN2367) along upper Lynch Creek west of its confluence with Gills Little Mill Creek in the northwestern Ingleside quad. PPgl – granitoid facies l: Medium grained (typically 3 - 5 mm), hypidiomorphic granular to weakly porphyritic biotite granodiorite. Contains titanite, apatite and opaque minerals. CI=15 - 20. Occurs in three small mapped pods in west-central Ingleside quad. Chemical analysis from station 01-ING-02 shows 61 wt% SiO 2 and normative Q:A:P of 28:16:56, with normative An 32.6%. METAMORPHIC ROCKS OF THE RALEIGH TERRANE In the Ingleside quad, metamorphic rocks of the Raleigh terrane include biotite gneiss and schist (CZbgs), felsic gneiss, hornblende gneiss (CZhg), and sillimanite-muscovite schist (CZsms). The CZsms extends eastward into the Gold Sand quad, where it is inferred to be the uppermost in a homoclinally west-dipping sequence of units (Stoddard and others, 2009), and biotite gneiss (CZbgs) lies to the east, presumably beneath the schist. In the east-central part of the Ingleside quad, foliations depart drastically from the typical N-S or NNE trends of the region, locally striking roughly east-west and dipping gently or moderately northward. Furthermore, in the central and western portions of the quad, large mapped blocks of CZbgs, CZsms, and perhaps CZhg, plus smaller xenoliths (depicted on the map by point symbols within mapped granitoid rocks), suggest a ghost stratigraphy of Raleigh terrane country rocks within the batholith. Taken together, these observations suggest the presence of a tight synformal, complex but locally north-plunging fold of metamorphic rocks, having an axial trace trending south-southwest. The axial trace of the Wake-Warren anticlinorium is inferred to lie to the west of the synform, running through the Ingleside quad. CZsms - muscovite-biotite sillimanite schist: Bluish green to gray to golden or white, fine to coarse-grained, moderately to well foliated muscovite schist. Locally may be strongly and chaotically crenulated and/or rusty or maroon weathering. Locally carries sillimanite, kyanite, garnet, pyrite and/or very rare staurolite. Includes quartz-muscovite schist and poorly foliated maroon-weathering muscovite schist, as well as local kyanite-quartz rock or sillimanite-quartz rock. Commonly associated with pegmatite and/or leucogranite. Occurs in abundance north and northwest of Moulton, between SR 1002 (Trinity Church Rd.) and SR 1413 (Sutton Rd.) and in the northeastern corner of the map in the Sandy Creek drainage. Just northeast of Ingleside, two separate pods of CZsms, surrounded by granitoid rocks, are also mapped. CZbgs - biotite gneiss and schist: Medium to dark gray, fine to medium grained, moderately to well foliated biotite-quartz-plagioclase+/-alkali feldspar gneiss and schist. Varies from non-banded biotite granitoid gneiss to variably banded biotite gneiss to schistose biotite gneiss and biotite schist. Rarely includes zones of hornblende-biotite schist, hornblende gneiss, or quartzofeldspathic gneiss with or without biotite and/or muscovite. Locally carries garnet, epidote, or sulfide minerals. Locally associated with dikes and/or sills of pegmatite and/or leucogranite. Also occurs as xenoliths within granitoid bodies. Excellent exposures in east-flowing tributary of Devil’s Cradle Creek in the east-central part of the quad, east of Highway 401 (stations IN1935-1948), and in the headwaters of Fox Creek south of Moulton. Other good examples may be found in the headwaters to Giles Creek, just north of Ingleside, between US Highway 401 and NC Highway 39. An excellent exposure of banded biotite gneiss in contact with granite lies along Flatrock Creek about 100 meters south of SR 1404 (Lake View Rd.) west of Kearney. CZfg - felsic gneiss: Light tan to pinkish gray, fine to medium grained, well foliated, massive to fissile, quartz-plagioclase-K-feldspar-muscovite-biotite orthogneiss. Mapped as a single pod surrounded by CZbgs in the southeastern corner of the quad. Similar (unmapped) lithologies occur rarely within CZbgs. CZhg - hornblende gneiss: Dark gray to black, medium grained, poorly to moderately foliated hornblende-plagioclase gneiss and amphibolite. May contain biotite or epidote. Where biotite content is high may be somewhat schistose. Occurs in the western half of the quad as xenoliths within granitoid bodies. The larger bodies are mapped as pods while the smaller xenoliths are indicated by point symbols within granitoid rock. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Data were contributed by Stephen Fuemmeler.
