This digital dataset represents the geology of the unconsolidated deposits in the Hogup Bar quadrangle at 1:24,000 scale. The quadrangle is located in a rural area near the northwestern shores of Great Salt Lake and southeast of Park Valley, Utah. Key geographic features include Hogup Bar, Dove Creek, Big Pass, the northern Hogup Mountains, and northeast part of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The focus of the project was the Lake Bonneville deposits. The quadrangle contains all four major shorelines/shorezones of the Bonneville lake cycle (Stansbury, Bonneville, Provo, Gilbert) that formed between about 26,000 and 11,500 years B.P. (late Pleistocene). The shorelines/shorezones include transgressive-phase, open-basin-phase, and regressive-phase types. The map area also includes giant dessication cracks near the Sinks of Dove Creek. The surficial deposits are from alluvial, lacustrine, eolian, playa, mixed, and human-derived depositional environments. In addition, several stacked units, Tertiary basalt, and undivided bedrock were also mapped.This item is part of a larger digital dataset that contains the additional feature classes, base maps, plates, and other supplementary materials necessary for the user to fully view, evaluate, and utilize the geological spatial data related to this product.
