  • Southern Oquirrh Mountains Fault Zone
    2399, SOUTHERN OQUIRRH MOUNTAINS FAULT ZONE Structure number: 2399. Comments: Structure name: Southern Oquirrh Mountains fault zone. Comments: As defined by Olig and others (1999), the fault zone includes the Mercur (Hecker's [1993] fault number 7-14), West Eagle Hill, Soldier Canyon, and Lakes of Kilarney faults. Synopsis: Late Quaternary normal faults bounding the west flank of the southern Oquirrh Mountains. Date of compilation: 8/01. Compiler and affiliation: Bill D. Black, Greg N. McDonald, and Mike Hylland (Utah Geological Survey), and Suzanne Hecker (U.S. Geological Survey). State: Utah. County: Tooele. 1° x 2° sheet: Tooele. Province: Basin and Range. Reliability of location: Good. Comments: Mapped or discussed by Everitt and Kaliser (1980), Barnhard and Dodge (1988), and Olig and others (2000, 2001). Mapping from Olig and others (1999). Geologic setting: En-echelon down-to-the-west normal faults bounding the western flank of the southern Oquirrh Mountains. The Oquirrh Mountains are the easternmost and highest of three distinctive north-south mountain ranges in the Basin and Range west of the high central part of the Wasatch Range. Late Quaternary sedimentation along the southwestern side of the Oquirrh Mountains (which are mainly Pennsylvanian- Permian Oquirrh Formation) is dominated by alluvial-fan sediments and deposits of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. Sense of movement: N. Comments: Dip: No data. Comments: Dip direction: W. Geomorphic expression: The Mercur and West Eagle Hill faults comprise 17 kilometers of the total along-strike length of 25 kilometers for the Southern Oquirrh Mountain fault zone, and show repeated Quaternary movement and displacement in late Pleistocene alluvial fans and terraces (Olig and others, 1999).

  • The University of Utah Campus Master Plan
    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.
