DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1830 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE LYNNDAL 30- BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WEST-CENTRAL UTAH By Earl H. Pampeyan INTRODUCTION techniques, and topographic base maps will benefit future interpretations. The Lynndyl 30- by 60-minute 1: 100,000-scale Map units selected for use on this map correspond as quadrangle is located in west-central Utah at the eastern nearly as possible to a division of geologic periods into edge of the Great Basin (fig. 1). The Sevier River, which epochs. The map-unit boundaries, in most cases, match drains part of the western Colorado Plateaus province, epoch boundaries, but where a formation boundary flows through the southeast corner of the quadrangle and straddles a time boundary the formation is arbitrarily terminates at Sevier Lake. The rocks and sediments included tn one or the other adjacent unit, and owing to exposed in the quadrangle represent a fairly complete map scale and thickness of map units, the map pattern is sequence ranging in age from Middle Proterozoic to not noticeably different than if the formation had been Holocene excluding most of the Mesozoic, which is included in the other adjacent map unit. An attempt at present to the east in the Colorado Plateaus. The consistency in usage is made, but differences in mapping presence of major ore deposits in the East Tintic style and interpretation in the source materials Mountains stimulated geologic interest in this region, and inadvertantly may cause some misidentifications or early stratigraphic work was concentrated around the misassignments. -

A History of Millard County, Utah Centennial County History Series
A HISTORY OF MUfard County Edward Leo Lyman Linda King Newell UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF Mittard County Edward Leo Lyman Linda King Newell Fillmore in Millard County was designated as the site of the first territorial capitol of Utah. One wing of the capitol building was built in the early 1850s before the seat of government was returned to Salt Lake City. The eastern part of the large county was settled first, as Pahvant Utes under their leader Kanosh wel comed pioneers to their homeland. Relations were generally peaceful between the two groups as towns and farms began to grow and prosper in the county. Development in the county initially cen tered on the east side; later, the diversion of water from the Sevier River transformed west ern Millard County into a rich farming area. However, the turbulent river and irrigation brought serious problems to homesteaders in the form of flooding and alkali ("Mormon snow") coming to the surface, making agri cultural development a great challenge. During World War II, a Japanese-Ameri can relocation camp was located at Topaz in the desert interior of the county. This vast region later housed the hu^e Intermountain Power Plant—a generator of electricity for Utah and southern California. The result of this has been a shift of population and politi cal power from the east side to the west side of Millard County in recent years.
