Analytical results, mineralogical data, and sample locality map of stream-sediment, heavy-mineral-concentrate, and rock samples, from the Fremont Gorge (UT-050-221) and Fiddler Butte (UT-050-241) Wilderness Study Areas, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah
This report presents the results of a geochemical and mineralogical survey of the Fremont Gorge and Fiddler Butte Wilderness Study Areas, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah. The Fremont Gorge and Fiddler Butte Wilderness Study Areas comprise about 265 mi/sup 2/ in Wayne and Garfield counties, Utah. The study areas are located along the Dirty Devil River just north of Utah State Highway 95 and along Sulphur Creek five miles east of Torrey, Utah. The area is comprised of flat lying sediments of the Henry Basin section which are Triassic to Holocene in age. The topographic relief in the study area is about 3000 ft (915 m) with a maximum elevation of 6900 ft (2100 m). The ground surface is a flat lying plateau which has been eroded to steep walled canyons by intermittent streams and one third order river. The climate is arid. 4 refs.
