Surficial Geologic Map Of The East Cache Fault Zone, Cache County, Utah, James P. Mccalpin

James P. McCalpin

The 1:50,000-scale map shows surficial geologic deposits and the faults that displace them along the East Cache fault zone in northern Utah. The East Cache fault is a north-trending normal fault that extends about 77 km along the eastern side of Cache Valley (an east-tilted graben) at the base of the Bear River Range. The map includes a description of Quaternary deposits along the fault zone, a description of the fault segments, and estimates of the age, size, and distribution of fault scarps in the fault zone.
