Peteetneet Creek from: Utah Place Names PETEETNEET CREEK (Utah County) originates northeast of Mount Nebo. It drains down Payson Canyon into Utah Lake. Chief Peteetneet was a friendly Indian who camped on the creek with his people. He died near Camp Floyd in January 1862. See Payson* below. >S14,T20S,R2E,SLM (at head).

An early name was Peteetneet* or Fort Peteetneet* for Chief Peteetneet and his people, who camped on the site at Peteetneet Creek. James Pace, John Courtland, A. J. Stewart, their families, and other Mormon pioneers settled there in 1850 and for a while after March 1851 the settlement was known as Pacen*. Pacen was changed to Payson when the town was incorporated on January 21, 1853, under Utah territorial law. >S8,9,16,17,T9S,R2E,SLM; 4,648' (1,417m). Bibliography: Bancroft, Hubert Howe.

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 early settlement and development of our country occurred along our coasts and water courses. The management of our land and water resources was the catalyst which enabled us to progress from a basically rural and agrarian economy to the urban and industrialized nation we are today. Since the General Survey Act of 1824, the US Army Corps of Engineers has played a vital role in the development and management of our national water resources. At the direction of Presidents and with Congressional authorization and funding, the Corps of Engineers has planned and executed major national programs for navigation, flood control, water supply, hydroelectric power, recreation and water conservation which have been responsive to the changing needs and demands of the American people for 152 years.

Elam Luddington: First Latter-Day Saint Missionary to Thailand
Michael A. Goodman 10 Elam Luddington: First Latter-day Saint Missionary to Thailand I will keep digging till you all say enough, and then if you see fit to call me home, I shall be truly in heaven and happy in the extreme; or if you say “Spend your days in [this part of the world], it shall be even so; not my will but my Heavenly Fathers be done.” Elam Luddington1 lam Luddington, the first Latter-day Saint missionary to Siam (mod- Eern Thailand), faced tremendous hardships in his pioneering proselyt- ing work. Almost killed at sea numerous times, stoned twice, poisoned once, and finally mobbed, he left the Thai people after little more than four months. No further formal missionary work was attempted for over one hundred years in the ancient land of Siam. His sacrifice, however, laid the foundation for the future work of bringing the fullness of the gospel to Thailand. His efforts were not in vain. His legacy of faithfulness would be Michael A.

A. Smith—whether the camp was to role on to the next creek today & encamp there till the morrow or remain here today voted not to move till the morrow. Pres G. A. Smith then said that a guard should be around the cattle through the day as well as the night a request was made by some of the camp for the liberty of having a little dance,3 it being New Years the Pres replied that he would not object provided the Bishops would manage the af fair & have it conducted with a single eye to the honor of their calling as Saints of God; through the day (which was fine) several lame cattle were shod—J.

Cost/Benefit Analysis for the ASVT on Operational Applications of Satellite Snow-Cover Observations
NASA TP ' ?f 1822- 1,'"' v. 7 I c.1 I December 1981 Applications Systems Verification and Transfer Project Volume VII: Cost/Benefit Analysis for the ASVT on Operational Applications of Satellite Snow-Cover Observations P. Castruccio, H. Loats, D. Lloyd, and P. Newnian F 1 i TECH LfSRARY KAFB, NM 1 NASA Technical Paper 1828 1981 Applications Systems Veritication and Transfer Project Volume VII: Cost/Benefit Analysis for the ASVT on Operational Applications of Satellite Snow-Cover Observations P. Castruccio, H. Loats, D. Lloyd, and P. Newman Ecosystems International, Inc. Gambrills, Maryland National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Branch I ABSTRACT The results of the OASSO ASVT's have been used to estimate the benefits accruing from the added infomation available from satellite snowcover area measurement. Estimates of the improvement in runoff prediction due to addition of SATSCAM have been made by the Colorado ASVT personnel. The improvement estimate is 6-10%. Data were applied to subregions covering the Western States snow area amended by information from the ASVT and other watershed experts to exclude areas which are not impacted by snowmelt runoff. Benefit models were developed for irrigation and hydroenergy uses. Results of the benefit estimate for these major uses yielded a yearly aggregate of 36.5M. Cost estimates for the employment of SATSCAM based upon the Colorado ASVT results and expanded to the Western States totalled $505K. The benefit/cost ratio thus formed is 72:l. Since only two major benefit contributors were used and since the forecast improvement estimate does not take into account future satellite capabilities these estimates are considered to be conservative.

Surficial Geologic Map of the Wasatch Fault Zone, Eastern Part of Utah Valley, Utah County and Parts of Salt Lake and Juab Counties, Utah
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SURFICIAL GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE WASATCH FAULT ZONE, EASTERN PART OF UTAH VALLEY, UTAH COUNTY AND PARTS OF SALT LAKE AND JUAB COUNTIES, UTAH By Michael N. Machette Pamphlet to accompany Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map 1-2095 Any use of trade names in this publication is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey INTRODUCTION I I I I The Wasatch Front and, particularly, the Wasatch fault MF-2042 I 1-1979 zone have been the subject of geologic investigations since the reconnaissance studies of G.K. Gilbert (1890, 1928) a L\ century ago (Machette and Scott, 1988). In 1983, the U.S. MF-2107 Geological Survey (USGS) initiated a program to assess the East Cache hazards posed by the fault zone. This map, which is the third Fault Zone in a series funded by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, shows the surficial geology along part of the Wasatch faut zone (see index map) and provides basic I' geologic data needed to make reliable assessments of earth I I quake hazards. I I I I This discussion describes the Quaternary geology along t// II \ the fault zone and at fault-segment boundaries, including Not mapped/\\ I data on the age, size, and distribution of fault scarps, and L:.J summarizes the results of an extensive exploratory trenching Wasatch Fault program conducted by the USGS and UGS (Utah Geological Zone Survey). This information is part of the basis for Machette and others (1987, 1991, 1992) recent assessments of the paleoseismic history of the Wasatch fault zone.

His family made it available to historians just prior to Payson's Centennial year, 1950. MCD 1851 page 4 & 5 More Settlers Arrive Back in December Brigham Young had advised David Crockett and David Fairbanks to head for Peteetneet. They had delayed the trip until spring. On arrival at Peteetneet they were told they could have all the land they wanted, but there was not sufficient water to accommodate additional families. Consequently they turned east and became the first settlers of Pond Town. Among those who joined them were John B. Fairbanks, Henry Nebeker, Elizabeth Wilson and sons, Bradley, 23; and David, 21. After two years' time the settlers at Peteetneet reconsidered the water situation and the families were welcomed back.
