Ogden Tweto

Ogden Tweto (1912 - 1983) created the now-classic Geologic Map of Colorado[1] which is held as one of the finest examples of a state geologic map.[2]

Tweto received awards including the Distinguished Service Award of the Department of the Interior (1970) and the Scientist of the Year Award by the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists (1978).[2] While working in Leadville, Colorado, he discovered features dating to the Proterozoic.[2] He is also known for his work involving the Arapahoe Formation,[3] the Leadville Mining District,[4] and the Colorado Mineral Belt.[5]
