Bedrock Aquifers In The Northern San Rafael Swell Area, Utah, With Special Emphasis On The Navajo Sandstone, United States Geological Survey Jan 1982

Bedrock Aquifers In The Northern San Rafael Swell Area, Utah, With Special Emphasis On The Navajo Sandstone, United States Geological Survey

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The northern San Rafael Swell area in southeastern Utah includes about 2,880 square miles (7,460 square kilometers) and ranges in altitude from about 3,290 to 7,921 feet (1,195 to 2,414 meters). Precipitation, the main source of water in the area, ranges from slightly less than 6 inches (152 millimeters) to slightly more than 12 inches (305 millimeters). Rocks that underlie the area range from Precambrian to Holocene in age. The thickness of sedimentary rocks ranges from 4,083 feet (1,244 meters) to about 30,000 feet (9,140 meters). The Entrada, Navajo, Wingate, and Coconino Sandstones and rocks of Mississippian age are considered …

Quaternary Geomorphic Features Of The Bear River Range, North-Central Utah, Jerome Vernon Degraff May 1976

Quaternary Geomorphic Features Of The Bear River Range, North-Central Utah, Jerome Vernon Degraff

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Bear River Range, in north-central Utah, contains a variety of geomorphic elements influenced by the geologic setting and events. Controlling factors of the geologic setting include: (1) a syncline (west) and an anticline with a crestal graben (east) within the part of the mountain range studied, and an adjacent graben valley along the west side of the range; and (2) bedrock of Precambrian and Paleozoic age in the core of the range, predominantly of shallow-marine carbonates and covered in the graben by shaly and conglomeratic rocks of early Cenozoic age, with fanglomerates and lake deposits of later Cenozoic age. …
