Olympus Cove area is largely the result of concerns of Salt Lake County as expressed by the chairman of the County Commission and reiterated by the County Planning Commission, County Intergovernmental Relations Office, and the County Offices of Planning and Zoning, Surveyor, BUilding Inspection, and Flood Control. These concerns were shared by an ad hoc body constituted by the County Office of Intergovernmental Relations and consisting of technical representatives from the various county offices, Utah Geological and Mineral Survey, Utah Division of Forestry, Utah State Water Laboratory, U. S. Forest Service, U. S. Soil Conservation Service, and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Meetings of the ad hoc committee led to the awarding of two contracts: the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey was to study all aspects of the terrain that might have some bearing upon the future course of development of the study area, and the Utah State Water Laboratory was to evaluate the surface water hydrology of the study area. The two contractors were charged with acquiring all available data before development of original information relevant to their responsibilities. It was intended that the report of each contractor should complement the report of the other for the purpose of establishing an overall development plan for the Mt. Olympus Cove area.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128085131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight magnetic profiles were taken over the Milford Flat intrusive body, and provided the basis for interpreting the intrusive structure under the alluvium. Gridded magnetic data were obtained in the vicinity of the Wild Bill mine. No extensive zones of contact mineralization are apparent in this data; an anomaly in the south-central portion of the grid is attributed to an upward protrusion of the local intrusive body. Along the southeastern contact of the Shauntie intrusive body, magnetic data show four areas of appreciable magnetite mineralization ranging from eight to twenty-five feet thick. Data collected south of the exposed Shauntie intrusive show an anomaly of uncertain origin that probably reflects the buried southeastern contact zone.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"512 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123570337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Relict Patterned Ground, Bear River Range, North-Central Utah","authors":"J. Degraff","doi":"10.34191/ug-3-2_111","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34191/ug-3-2_111","url":null,"abstract":"In the Bear River Range, northcentral Utah, thirty-nine widely distributed localities of three acres or larger show a morphology resembling periglacial patterned ground. In the total of 2,359 acres (954 ha) under study, aerial photographs reveal an arrangement of mounds by an alternately dark and light pattern. The mounds are evenly distributed on slopes of less than 10 percent and aligned in beaded stripes on slopes of more than 10 percent. The mounds range from 13 to 66 feet (4 to 20 m) across; the average mound diameter is about 40 feet (12 m). Only regolith is affected by the patterned morphology. The regolith in and between the mounds is derived from the same source, but the parent material varies among different localities. The location of patterned areas appears to be controlled by temperature and soil. Temperature is the primary factor. Slope aspect, potential insolation, average elevation, and amount of terrain affected correlate for different localities. These factors interact to produce approximately the same average annual, summer, and winter temperatures in patterned ground areas. The patterned ground is located where the controlling temperature coincides with the appropriate soil. Twenty-two areas of patterned ground are within the boundaries of a recent soil survey. An analysis of the soils suggests that patterned ground genesis is facilitated by soils with significant silt and clay components. Some soils affected by patterned morphology have large amounts of stones and cobbles. The evidence of erosion subsequent to formation indicates that patterned areas did not originate under present climatic conditions. During Pleistocene glacial periods, the calculated average annual temperature at these localities was 32°F. Differential frost heaving during the cooler periods of the Pleistocene is suggested as the process responsible for the creation of patterned morphology in the Bear River Range.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133086489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
