Excerpt from Glaciation of the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains The Uinta Mountains are located in the northeastern portion of Utah and consist of a single range of peaks extending in a general east-west direction. If the crest line of this range were continued westward it would cross the Wasatch Range nearly at a right angle and reach the great Bonneville basin a few miles south of Salt Lake City. These two mountain ranges therefore stand nearly at right angles to each other, and yet are separated by a distance of not more than 10 miles. (see fig.

That the higher valleys of the Wasatch Mountains ere occupied by Pleistocene glaciers has long been known. King, Hague, and Emmons, geologists of the Fortieth Parallel Survey, the first to undertake a systematic study of any part of the Wasatch Mountains, recognized this fact and their report includes a map which shows 1n a rough ay the extent of the glaciated areas in the Central Wasatch (II) In 1909 Atwood (1) made a detailed study of the glacial features of the Central Wasatch in connection with his study of glaciation in the Uinta Mountains. He mapped the deposits of 2 distinct glacial ages, but did not consider any part of the range north of Salt Lake County. Recently Bradley(8) has discovered the deposits of a third and older glacial age in the Uinta mountains, thus indicating the possibility of a similar discovery in the Wasatch Mountains. Blackwelder (6) had previously recognized 3 glacial ages in the Wind River Mountains in western Wyoming and had made preliminary observations on glaciation in the Stansbury and Oquirrh ranges, Utah (7). While these studied have been completed tor the central part of the Wasatch Range and for surrounding regions, no description of the glacial geology of the Northern Wasatch has ever appeared.
