Interim Geologic Map of the Ogden 30'x60' Quadrangle, Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Morgan, Rich, and Summit Counties, Utah, and Uinta County, Wyoming (OFR-653dm)

By: James C. Coogan and Jon K. King

The Ogden 30'x60' quadrangle covers the populous Wasatch Front near Ogden, Utah, and the adjacent Wasatch Range, and extends eastward into Wyoming near Evanston, Wyoming. It covers parts of the Ogden, Weber, and upper and lower Bear River drainages. The Ogden quadrangle is economically important because of the gas and oil fields on the east margin of the map area, the cement plant near Devils Slide, numerous sand and gravel operations, water resources, and recreational interests.

Contains geographic information system (GIS) files in shapefile format. (Shapefile folder). are three plates-the colored geologic map at 1:62,000 scale (plate 1) and explanation plates used in making the colors on the map (plate 2) and geologic map symbols (plate 3). This colored geologic map is also on the DVD as a georeferenced tiff with accompanying files (.prj, .tif.aux.xml, .tif.ovr) (Plate 1 GeoTiff folder). The 147-page booklet (in PDF format) contains descriptions of map units, an index to geologic mapping used to create the map, supporting figures and tables, lithologic columns, bedrock and surficial deposit correlation charts, and separate appendices of palynological data and wells used for subsurface thicknesses. The latest version of Adobe Reader is required to view the PDF files. Specialized software is required to use the GIS files.
