Geological Society of America Field Guide 6 2005 From cirques to canyon cutting: New Quaternary research in the Uinta Mountains Jeffrey S.

Pederson Geology Department, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322, USA Eric C. Carson Geology Department, San Jacinto College, Houston, Texas 77049, USA ABSTRACT The Quaternary record of the Uinta Mountains of northeastern Utah has been studied extensively over the past decade, improving our understanding of the Pleisto- cene glacial record and fl uvial system evolution in a previously understudied part of the Rocky Mountains. Glacial geomorphology throughout the Uintas has been mapped in detail and interpreted with reference to other well-studied localities in the region. In addition, studies in Browns Park and Little Hole in the northeastern part of the range have provided information about paleofl ooding, canyon cutting, and integration of the Green River over the Uinta Mountain uplift. Notable contributions of these studies include (1) constraints on the timing of the local last glacial maximum in the southwest- ern Uintas based on cosmogenic surface exposure dating, (2) insight into the relationship between ice dynamics and bedrock structure on the northern side of the range, and (3) quantifi cation of Quaternary incision rates along the Green River. This guide describes a circumnavigation of the Uintas, visiting particularly well-documented sites on the north and south fl anks of the range and along the Green River at the eastern end. Keywords: Uinta Mountains, Colorado Plateau, Last Glacial Maximum, Quaternary. INTRODUCTION on aspects of these records in the range.

  • Fort Davy Crockett: Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge (Colorado)
    U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE: REGION 6 - CULTURAL RECOURSE PROGRAM Fort Davy Crockett?: An Archaeological Mystery Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge – Northwest Colorado Summarized from: A Report on the Results of Limited Subsurface Testing at 5MF5478, a Proposed Site of Historic Fort Davy Crockett, Moffat County, Colorado Kristen D. Kent and Mona C. Charles, Department of Anthropology, Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado December 2004 Introduction The follow excerpts are from a 2004 report documenting archaeological testing at the possible location of Fort Davy Crocket on the Brown’s Park National Wildlife Refuge. Many studies and much research has been conducted over the years to try and determine if the remains found on a bluff overlooking the Green River on the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge are indeed those of the Fort. This research adds additional insight into the mystery. Fort Davy Crockett In 1837 three fur trappers, Prewett Sinclair, Philip Thompson, and William Criag, formed a partnership and reportedly built Fort Davy Crockett that same year. The Fort was named after the famous Tennessee frontiersman who died at the Battle of the Alamo in Texas the previous year. Kit Carson, another famous frontiersman, trapper and scout is reported to have been employed by the owners of Fort Davy Crockett. In 1839 members of the Peoria Party on their way to Oregon reported staying at the Fort. A description of the Fort was provided in the recordings of Thomas Jefferson Farnham, leader of the Peoria Party. He described the Fort thus: The fort, as it is called, peered up in the centre, upon the winding banks of the Sheetskadee.

  • A Forage Capacity and Stocking Rate Determination for the High Uintas
    A FORAGE CAPACITY AND STOCKING RATE DETERMINATION FOR THE HIGH UINTAS WILDERNESS DOMESTIC SHEEP ANALYSIS Analysis completed by Emanuel Vasquez1, John Carter2, and Allison Jones1 1 Wild Utah Project, 824 S. 400 W., Ste B-117. Salt Lake City, UT 84101 2Keisha’s preserve and Yellowstone to Uintas Connection, P.O. Box 363 Paris, Idaho 83261 Analysis presented to the Ashley and Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forests September, 2018 1 INTRODUCTION In May 2014, the Uinta Wasatch Cache and Ashley NFs initiated scoping for the High Uintas Domestic Sheep Analysis.1 The purpose of this project as described in the scoping notice is to reauthorize grazing of domestic sheep on five allotments in each of the NFs totaling 157,000 acres within the Uinta Wilderness, while continuing to permit up to 40,000 ewes and lambs to graze for two to three months, depending upon the allotment. Prior work in the Uinta Wilderness by Dr. John Carter identified issues of soil and stream bank erosion, severe use in uplands, and trailing damage across the passes leading from the UWCNF into the Ashley NF allotments and on steep slopes. These conditions were documented in a report by Dr. Carter that illustrated that non- capable lands were being severely grazed (Carter 2007).2 In the example of the adjacent West Fork Black’s Fork allotment, which the Forest Service has excluded from this analysis, Carter’s 2007 analysis demonstrated overstocking of the allotment, in which only 854 acres of the 14,786 acres were capable to support grazing. Of those 854 acres, 609 were wet meadows, areas not preferred by sheep.

  • DECISION MEMO Gilbert Peak and Hessie Lake
    DECISION MEMO Gilbert Peak and Hessie Lake - Henrys Fork Livestock Grazing Allotments Summit County, Utah USDA Forest Service Mountain View Ranger District Wasatch-Cache National Forest BACKGROUND The Mountain View Ranger District proposes to reauthorize livestock grazing on 25,200 acres of National Forest System Lands on the Gilbert Peak and Hessie Lake-Henrys Fork Sheep and Goat (S&G) Allotments located within the Mountain View Ranger District of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Livestock grazing would be reauthorized using current Forest Plan standards and guidelines and desired conditions to manage livestock use. It is expected that this by continuing to follow this direction rangelands will be maintained at current desired conditions or continue to move them towards desired conditions. This proposal recognizes the continuing need for forage production from Forest Service administered lands as identified in the Forest Plan. The Gilbert Peak Allotment is approximately 11,100 acres and the Hessie Lake-Henrys Fork Allotment is approximately 14,100 acres of National Forest System land. The allotments occur within Summit County, Utah. The allotments are located in the Smiths Fork, Upper Henrys Fork, and Joulious Creek subwatersheds approximately 25 miles south of Mountain View, Wyoming. These allotments are located in the High Uintas Wilderness. DECISION AND RATIONALE I have decided to reauthorize grazing allotments on the Gilbert Peak and Hessie Lake - Henrys Fork Allotments. The 2006 range Studies Evaluations (Zobell 2006, 2006a) for the Gilbert Peak and Hessie Lake ­ Henrys Fork summarizes long-term trend and monitoring data. The reports conclude that current management is meeting or is satisfactorily moving toward objectives.

ALPINE BIRD COMMUNITIES OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA: IMPLICATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND RESEARcH!/ Clait E. Braun Wildlife Researcher Colorado Division of Wildlife, Research Center, 317 West Prospect Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 ABSTRACT The avifauna of alpine regions of western North America is notably depauperate. Average community size is normally 3 to 4 although 5 species may consistently breed and nest above treeline. Only 1 species is a year around resident and totally dependent upon alpine habitats. Seasonal habitat preferences of the breeding avifauna are identified and the complexity of the processes and factors influencing alpine regions are reviewed. Management problems are discussed and research opportunities are identified. KEYWORDS: alpine ecosystem, habitat, avifauna, management, western North America. INTRODUCTION Alpine ecosystems occur in most of the high mountain cordilleras of western North America. Alpine, as used in this paper, refers to the area above treeline where habitats are characterized by short growing seasons, low temperatures and high winds. The term "tundra" is frequently used to describe these habitats but is more properly used in connection with arctic areas north of the limit of forest growth (Hoffmann and Taber 1967). While use of the terms "alpine tundra" and "arctic tundra" is common in designating above treeline (alpine) and northern lowland areas (arctic), the terminology of Billings (1979) is preferred. Likewise, lumping of alpine and arctic ecosystems into the "tundra biome" (see Kendeigh 1961) is not really feasible because of the extreme differences in radiation, moisture, topography, photo­ period, presence or absence of permafrost, etc.

The Journal of Geology, Vol. 56, No. 4, Jul., 1948 MISSISSIPPIAN-PENNSYLVANIAN BOUNDARY PROBLEMS IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION' JAMES STEELE WILLIAMS United States Geological Survey ABSTRACT A variety of paleontologic and stratigraphic problems are presented by rocks near the Mississippian- Pennsylvanian boundary in the central and northern Rocky Mountains. Stratigraphic sections of these rocks show diverse interpretations of fundamental concepts of stratigraphy and paleontology. In many places where Upper Mississippian rocks directly underlie Pennsylvanian rocks it is difficult to determine the precise location of the boundary between these units. Formations that straddle the boundary are very useful and satisfactory over large areas. Most geologists use various types of lithologic criteria to distinguish forma- tions, but some appear to rely mainly on faunal data, unconformities, or attempts to trace prominent beds. More uniformity in criteria than now exists for the delimitation of formations is desirable.
