Pilot Range from: Utah Place Names PILOT RANGE (Utah-Nevada border) received its name from its highest peak, The Pilot, north of Wendover*. See Pilot Peak below. PILOT PEAK (state of Nevada). Even though Pilot Peak is in Nevada, it is close to the Utah border and is included because it was so important in Utah history. It is north of Wendover* and was a landmark to all immigrant parties moving west in this part of the country, especially the Donner-Reed party. Various explorers, mountain men, trappers, and Indians also used the peak as their guide. It could be seen from great distances as migrating parties crossed the Great Salt Lake Desert. It was named by J. C. Fremont as quoted by Creer (1947), "To the friendly mountain, I gave the name of Pilot Peak." >S8,T36N,R70E (in Nevada); 10,716' (3,266m).

An asterisk (*) following a place name indicates past or present inhabitation. 2. When a series of letters and numbers are present towards the end of an entry after the ">" symbol, the first group indicates section/township/range as closely as can be pinpointed (i.e., S12,T3S,R4W,SLM, or USM). A section equals approximately one square mile, reflecting U.S. Geological Survey topographic map sections. Because Utah is not completely mapped, some entries are incomplete. In this case, whatever information is available will be provided. The second group, when present, is altitude in feet followed by meters in parentheses [i.e., 6,000' (1,829m)]. Altitude is not included with canyons or deserts with varying altitudes. _____________________________________________________________________ SOURCE... Utah Place Names.

The Influence of Hydrology and Climate on the Isotope Geochemistry
Sedimentology (2007) doi: 10.1111/j.1365-3091.2007.00932.x The influence of hydrology and climate on the isotope geochemistry of playa carbonates: a study from Pilot Valley, NV, USA CYNTHIA M. LIUTKUS* and JAMES D. WRIGHT *Department of Geology, Appalachian State University, ASU Box 32067, Boone, NC 28608, USA (E-mail: [email protected]) Department of Geological Sciences, Rutgers University, 610 Taylor Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA ABSTRACT Carbonates often accompany lake and lake-margin deposits in both modern and ancient geological settings. If these carbonates are formed in standing water, their stable isotope values reflect the aquatic chemistry at the time of precipitation and may provide a proxy for determining regional hydrologic conditions. Carbonate rhizoliths and water samples were collected from a playa lake in eastern Nevada. Pilot Valley (43°N) is a closed-basin, remnant playa from the Quaternary desiccation of palaeo-Lake Bonneville. Water is added to the playa margin by free convection of dense brines to the east and forced convection of freshwater off the alluvial fan to the west. Both freshwater and saline springs dot the playa margin at the base of an alluvial fan. Water samples collected from seven springs show a range from )16 to )0Æ2& (Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water), and are consistent with published values. The 18 ) ) d Ocalcite values from rhizolith samples range from 18Æ3to 6Æ7& (Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite), and the average is )12& V-PDB (1 ) r SD 2&). With the 18 exception of samples from Little Salt Spring, the range in the d Ocalcite values collected from the rhizoliths confirms that they form in equilibrium with ambient water conditions on the playa.

Although no p'otash has been pro duced from these brines in the last few years, a continued interest in the area has been shown by a large number of filings, in different parts of the desert, under the potash law of October 2, 1917 (40 Stat. 297), and the regulations issued under that law by the Department of the Interior on March 21, 1918, in Circular 594 (46 L.

Statement of Tom Fulton Deputy Assistant Secretary
Statement of Tom Fulton Deputy Assistant Secretary– Land and Minerals Management Department of the Interior House Resources Committee Subcommittee on National Parks, Recreation and Public Lands on H.R. 2488, Pilot Range Wilderness July 26, 2001 Thank you for the opportunity to testify regarding H.R. 2488. The Department appreciates Chairman Hansen's efforts in continuing to address wilderness in Utah. The Department of the Interior supports H.R. 2488, which designates over 37,000 acres of land in western Utah as wilderness. We would like the opportunity to work with the Committee on clarifying and technical amendments to the legislation before the Committee completes its consideration of this bill. The proposed Pilot Range Wilderness Area lies in Box Elder County, Utah. Rising to over 10,761 feet, Pilot Peak served as a beacon for travelers headed to California in the 1840s and, for some, a beacon of false hope. Travelers who had completed the hot, dry trek across the Great Salt Lake Desert found water in the springs along the eastern base of the range. Located approximately 115 miles northwest of Salt Lake City, along the Utah and Nevada state line, the Pilots are a north-south trending mountain range, with canyons draining east to a large alkali flat, and west to a broad valley that extends into Nevada. The rugged terrain (ridges, side canyons and valley bottoms) meets the requirements of the Wilderness Act. Diverse vegetation complements the topography by providing screening from human activity. Opportunities for hunting, camping, hiking, and photography are outstanding. Horseback riding and pack trips are abundant throughout the area.

Pilot Creek Valley (Updated 2014)
Site Description Pilot Creek Valley (Updated 2014) Geologic setting: The Pilot Creek Valley is located near the border of Nevada and Utah approximately 30 kilometers northwest of West Wendover, Nevada. Pilot Creek Valley also lies between the Toano Range towards the west and the Pilot Range towards the east. The Pilot Range is composed of slate, argillite, phyllite, metasiltstone, quartzite, and conglomerate and is exposed throughout the range (Woodward, 1967). The Pilot Range is a north trending mountain range located west of the Nevada-Utah border. The range is composed of metamorphosed Cambrian and Proterozoic strata with Mesozoic igneous rocks that are overlain by Quaternary sedimentary rocks and other unconsolidated material. Multiple faults and folds are prominent throughout the range including bedding plane faults, low angle faults, and high angle Tertiary strike-slip and normal faults. These normal faults are range bounding faults parallel to the range fronts (Miller and Lush, 1981). The southern Toano range is composed primarily of Cambrian and Ordovician carbonate and shale units that have been deformed into northeast plunging folds. Metamorphism has occurred in this region resulting in bleached and marbleized limestone with shale units being converted to slate and phyllite with some minor muscovite schist. These units make up the Silver Zone terrane which was intruded by the Middle Jurassic Silver Zone Pass pluton (Ketner et al, 1998). Geothermal features: A warm spring on the western side of Pilot Creek Valley (T36N, R68E, Sec. 34?) was sampled by NBMG in 2008. The spring had been converted into a tractor tire cattle trough. Samplers reported “Water flows upward through a pipe, with algae and white salt deposits visible inside the tube.

Fike CULTURAL RESOURCE SERIES No. 8 Special Edition Reprint 1994 Special Edition Reprint 1994 The original Bureau of Land Management publication on the route of this historic railroad between Lucin and Promontory Point in Utah, Rails East to Promontory, the Utah Stations, first appeared in 1981 as Number 8 in the Utah Cultural Resource Series. High public demand for the volume resulted in its becoming out-of-print. The year 1994 marked the 125th anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. Celebration of the placement of the famous Golden Spike was widely publicized and attended by thousands. The year 1994 also marked the advent of the theme "Trails West," in the Bureau of Land Management's Adventures in the Past program. This theme explored historic transportation routes and the relationship of these routes to westward expansion. The work by the authors, Raymond and Fike, has stood the test of time. Please note that the volume has been reprinted as it appeared in 1981 with some modifications. A few minor notes offered as errata for this reprint, follow: * The map on page 26 has two errors. The site of Metataurus was spelled incorrectly, and the locations of Metataurus and Centre were apparently transposed. * The site of Ombey, as noted on page 27 (second paragraph) is not synonymous with Gravel Pit. Om bey and Gravel Pit are separate locations, as correctly described on page 62 of the text.
