Earthquakes on the Wasatch Fault

Timeline of large earthquakes along the fault.
The boulder at the park entrance is quartz monzonite of the Little Cottonwood stock and was originally from the Temple Quarry in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The drill holes along the left side of the boulder were made in the late 1800s by quarry workers using sledge hammers and hand-held drill bits.

Great Salt Lake is likely best known for its high salinity and large size. Yet this unique lake also supports mineral and brine-shrimp industries, provides a resting place for millions of migratory birds, and reveals varied spectacular sights. Sunsets over distant islands, white beaches, and water colors ranging from blue to pink offer inspiration for artists. Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Utah. Photographer: Carole McCalla

Mining has removed much of the Lake Bonneville deposits and some of the bedrock at Point of the Mountain. The total amount of sand, gravel, and rock removed is unknown, but according to Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining documents, roughly 25 million tons was mined just from 2009 to 2014.

Screen-capture image from Google Earth, showing an oblique, northward view of the west side of the Beaver Dam Mountains. The gravity-slide blocks are visible for us to see and ponder because they are exposed in a structural high known as a relay ramp, which links the Red Hollow and Piedmont faults. Sheared and tectonically thinned strata of the upper plate of the Castle Cliff fault hug the mountain front and are also present at Sheep Horn Knoll just above Welcome Spring. These upper-plate strata, which once covered Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks (Xu) that now form the exposed core of the range, were the source of the gravity-slide blocks.
