Mansfield2 in southeastern Idaho and a general section of the I. Devonian made in Green Canyon, Bear River Range, Utah by Kinctl:le. 3 I Due to the lack of any detailed work of this nature being done in the Bear River Range, suggested the matter of making a section and describing the I .Devonian System of thi-s Fan.ge, because, probably less is known of this system than of any other one. I Stratigraphic relations were studied in several II seetions where outcrops were good. Conditions for the study of these outcrops are very favorable, because, I within a very short distance of 6 or 7 miles there are 6 canyons cutting the range at approximately right an- I gles to the general trend of the structure, giving satisfactory sections of the greater part of the Paleo- I zo·ic Era.

I Because of easy aceess and good exposures, this aan- yon-was chosen for a graphic section. Another sec- I tion was made in Logan Canyon as a matter of compar- ison. .........-.•-, I A - A is a general graphic section of the front ridge of the Bear River Range, showing the structure I on the north side of Logan Canyon, situated almost (Plate II) I directly east of the city of Logan, Utah./ B - B is a general graphic section of the front ridge showing I the structure on the north side of Blacksmith Fork Canyon. These graphic sections constitute the gen- ~ -~) · - ----~---/ eral lithological character of that portion of the I Paleozoic Era which makes up this part of the Bear River Range. The eastern portion of the range is a I faulted anticline and is capped, uncomformably, by I Tertiary deposits. I I ti l I ' .. I I - "t- I I PHYSIOGRAPHY I The Bear River Range is a relatively rugged mass with the exception of the eastern portion which consti- I tutes a more or less plateau-like topography. The range is continuous with the Wasatch Range proper, and I is really a branch of the northern extremity of that I range. Geologically and ph·y Biographically that portion of the Wasatch Range from a position in the vicinity I of Huntsville, Utah, about latitude 4f 15' ~ and runs in an almost true north-south direction along the east I side of ·Cache Valley and terminates at Sheep Rock just south of the sharp bend of Bear River near Alexander, Idaho, is termed the Bear River Range (Plate I and I-A). I The other main branch of the Wasatch which forks off from about the same latitude and runs in the same I direction, but borders the west side of Cache Valley, I and terminates in a low, rolling topography at the point where Bear River passes through a gorge from I Cache Valley on it's way to Great Salt Lake, is the . Wellsville Range (Plate III.). This range has a very .. I sharp crest line which is almost impassable in places. The east slope of the range is almost a dip slope. / / ' I The Bear River Range as described above, has a I length of about 95 miles and varies in wid.th from 2 to ~~ )- ·· ---- ___ 22 mifes_;___ tb.e - maxT mum -wrcfEn- bei ng -aT ong--fJie--ri n e o e-=- ----- --'---- 1 -5- I ----) I· /'' I tween Tps 15 and 16 So. in southern Idaho. North of North of this line it grows narrower and terminates I at Sheep Rock. The range consists of two roughly I parallel ridges; the more rugged on the west called the Bear River front ridge, the lower plateau-like I mass to the east, the Wasatch Range. These ridges merge to the south in the Wasatch Range proper. I The Bear River front ridge is formed from a broad, I shallow, syncline with the highest portion along the axis of the syncline. The lower plateau-like Wasatch I Range to the east is a badly faulted anticline which is in part unconformably overlain with Tertiary con- I ) glomerate, sandstone and limestone. I The front ridge takes on a rugged topography with serrate crest line, steep ·slopes, gorge-like can- I yons, glaci~ted valley heads and pre£ents a steep and rugged front toward Cache Valley. I The highest peaks in the range are from north to I south; Paris Peak 9,572 feet, Sherman Peak 9,669 feet, in southern Idaho; Naomi Peak 9,980 feet, Logan Peak I 9,713 feet, in northern Utah. I I 1-----------------) -- ---~--- - -- -- --------------- ---- - I I - 6- I ( ·-'\ ) I STRUCTURE Over the immediate vicinity of the Bear River I Range with which thi~ paper is concerned, the rock I outcrops of the P aleozoic are very abundant and well defined. This condition is due partly to the Bear I River Range gravity fault and subsequent erosion, which has exposed the strata ranging from Cambriati to Penn- I sylvanian. I One very interesting feature which comes to the attention of the observer and which arouses his curio- I sity is the structure of the strata on the west limb of the broad shallow syncline, which makes up the front t~- - / ) ridge of the range. The strata have an average dip of I 18-20 degrees. At the mouth of Logan and Dry G.anyons, the gentle easterly dip of the strata is abruptly chang­ I ed, being sharply bent to a vertical and partially over- turned position, making the Ordovician and Silurian beds I occur in a reverse order (Plate IV a and b). Not only I is this spectacle of natural architecture of great inter- est, but associated with it is a zone in which the rocks I have lost their original form and are very badly brec:- .::, ciated and fractured. This impressive feature, together I with the finer observations of local folding and. buckl- ing of the thin-bedded incompetent formations bring a- I • I- - )--- -------- -- ----- - -- --- ------------ ----- - --- --- - - I -7- I I -·I' \ : I bout a conclusion that this area was subject to in- I tense compression, which obviously came before the brea.ki ng of the Bear River Range gravity fau 1 t. This I zone of fracture and folding extends up Logan c·anyon approximately 1000 feet. I Another impressive feature.of the range is the I clean-cut gorges which the major streams have made througjh the front ridge, exposing on both sides bare rock ledges I of which form a great part of the Paleozoic -Era. These continuous outcrops, layer upon layer, gently folded to I form the broad end shallow syncline, interrupted here and there where local faulting has occured, reveals to one l _) the great phenomena of mountain bu ilding and architecture. I Most of the streims in this portion of the Bear River Range have their source in the lower, eastern section and I flow west through the hi gher front ridge at a lmost right I angles to it's trend. A considerable amount of up-lift- ing of the range must have occured after the strea~s had I their courses pretty well defined. This condition is explained by the entrenched meanders occuring in the left I fork of Logan Canyon, in the vicinity of Temple Fork and I the superimposed appearance of the front ridge.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1566-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF MOUNT NAOMI ROADLESS AREA, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH, AND FRANKLIN COUNTY, IDAHO By James H. Dover, U.S. Geological Survey and Philip R. Bigsby, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (04758), Wasatch and Caribou National Forests, Cache County, Utah, and Franklin County, Idaho. Mount Naomi Roadless Area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n)i by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT Geological, geophysical, and geochemical investigations have been conducted to assess the mineral resource potential of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (hereafter referred to as "study area"), northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho.
