GEOLOGIC MAP of the LAME DEER 30. X 60. QUADRANGLE
PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE NEZ PERCE PASS 30' x 60' QUADRANGLE, WESTERN MONTANA Compiled and mapped by Richard B. Berg and Jeffrey D. Lonn Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report MBMG 339 1996 This report has been reviewed for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical and editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geology Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey under contract Number 1434-94-A-91368. PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE NEZ PERCE PASS 30' X 60' QUADRANGLE, MONTANA Compiled and Mapped by Richard B. Berg and Jeffrey D Lonn DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS Qls LANDSLIDE DEPOSITS (HOLOCENE) Unsorted and unstratified mixtures of locally derived material transported down adjacent steep slopes and characterized by irregular hummocky surfaces. Occurs most often as earthflow movement on slopes underlain by Tertiary sedimentary (Tgc) and volcanic (Tv) rocks with high clay content. Qal ALLUVIAL DEPOSITS OF THE PRESENT FLOOD PLAIN (HOLOCENE) Fresh, well-sorted, well-rounded gravel and sand with a minor amount of silt and clay. Beneath modern flood plains and streams. Well logs show an average thickness of 40 feet (McMurtrey and others, 1972). Qat RIVER TERRACE DEPOSIT (LATE PLEISTOCENE?) Not exposed in outcrop, but the surfaces consist of unweathered, well-rounded, mostly granitic cobbles. These surfaces stand 15-25 feet above the present flood plain. Well logs indicate a thickness of 60-70 feet of sand, gravel, and cobbles. At least two terraces have been recognized (Uthman, 1988), but they are cannot be distinguished everywhere.

Level IV Ecoregions of Montana
DRAFT 2 15. Northern Rockies Ecoregion 15 is mountainous and rugged. Climate, trees, and understory species are characteristically maritime-influenced. Douglas-fir, subalpine fir, Englemann spruce, western larch, lodgepole pine, and ponderosa pine as well as Pacific indicators such as western redcedar, western hemlock, mountain Ecoregions of Montana hemlock, and grand fir occur. Pacific tree species are more numerous than in the Idaho Batholith (16) Second Edition and are never dominant in the Middle Rockies (17). Alpine areas occur but, as a whole, the region has lower elevations, less perennial snow and ice, and fewer glacial lakes than the adjacent Canadian Rockies (41). Metasedimentary rocks are common; granitic rocks and associated management problems are less extensive than in the Idaho Batholith (16).

Nez Perce in Yellowstone, 1877
NEZ PERCE IN YELLOWSTONE, 1877 Introduction/Explanation ... This is a work in progress, by no means a finished product.. It attempts to give a brief time-line of happenings in and around Yellowstone during the Nez Perce retreat ... .. The main participants are indicated by letters (S, R, H, etc.) and titles (S. G. Fisher, Helena Party, etc.) to make it easier to follow a particular person or group from day to day ... Sometimes different paragraphs retell almost the same story, but usually there are additional facts and/or emphasis. Sometimes different dates are given for the same incident; readers should decide which date/time makes more sense to them ... When choosing selections I included some comments/perspectives about incidents not mentioned in this paper. I just hope readers are familiar with the basic story and won' t be too confused by this ... Entries are often abbreviated, but I tried to leave in everything pertinent to exact locations in Yellowstone. I have left some things in even though they may not be totally relevant to the main story, I just found them interesting. I hope you do too .. .. I didn' t say much about atrocities at Big Hole- they are well covered elsewhere, and it depresses me to dwell on them ... ... A lot of interesting people show up in these pages- many of them I'd like to be able to drink a Rainier Ale with while listening to their story. I am especially envious of Lucullus McWhorter for the time he was able to spend with Yellow Wolf and his companions ..
