By: T. L. Tilton

The Alton quadrangle is located in north-central Kane County and covers the southwestern part of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The approximately 4,000-foot-thick section of exposed sedimentary rock in the quadrangle ranges in age from Jurassic to Oligocene. Quaternary alluvium, mass-movement debris, pediment alluvium, and landslides cover these rocks. An igneous dike of Quaternary basalt is exposed near the center of the Alton quadrangle.
