Abstract: 
The Stress Map of North America , constructed on four 42 inch by 55 inch sheets, plots modern maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) orientations for North America inferred from a variety of geophysical and geologic data. These data are described and discussed in the companion DNAG volume Neotectonics of North America. A brief description of the various stress indicators is given in the legend.

Epeirogeny in the Southern Rocky Mountains region: Evidence and origin

Gordon P. Eaton
- 01 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: The Southern Rockies are unique in that their eastern piedmont slope is quite unlike that of other prominent orogenic mountain ranges around the globe owing to the presence of this supporting swell as mentioned in this paper.
