Geology Of The Summer Ranch And North Promontory Mountains, Utah, O. Clair Adams

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Summer Ranch and North Promontory Mountains have not been studied in detail geologically, although the surrounding mountains have been extensively investigated. Within the limits of this area, sedimentary rocks of Mississippian through Permian crop out. Sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age are also exposed. Extensive Lake Bonneville deposits underlie the valleys and overlap the foothills.
