  Description:

    Abstract:  The upper Bear River drainage basin is located in 
      the Overthrust Belt at the eastern margin of late Cenozoic 
      basin-and-range faulting. The Bear River has its 
      headwaters in the Uinta Mountains and flows generally 
      north through a broad alluvial valley with few, relatively 
      inactive faults, then jogs abruptly west into Bear Lake 
      Valley, bounded by active faults.  Surficial deposits in 
      the Bear River Valley above the lake consist mainly of 
      Pleistocene glacial outwash and Holocene alluvial 
      deposits; pre-late Pleistocene terrace deposits are mainly 
      preserved just downstream of glacial deposits in the Uinta 
      Mountains.  Extensive areas of thin pediment deposits 
      along the valley margins attest to relative stability of 
      this landscape.  Through most of Holocene time, and at 
      intervals in the Pleistocene, Bear River has flowed past a 
      groundwater-fed Bear Lake; at other times, most recently 
      in the late Pleistocene, the lake has risen and expanded 
      to engulf the river and submerge much of the valley.  
      Consequently, surficial deposits in Bear Lake Valley south 
      of the modern river are dominated by lacustrine and 
      paludal (marsh) deposits of late Pleistocene and Holocene 
      age; from the river north, Bear River alluvium is also 
      abundant.  Older lake and marsh deposits are locally 
      preserved along the footwall block of the East Bear Lake 
      fault zone bounding the east side of the lake.  Moraines 
      of small valley glaciers are preserved along the Bear 
      River Range northwest of the lake.

    Purpose: This map of surficial deposits in the upper Bear 
      River drainage basin was compiled to provide a geologic 
      context for interpretation of paleoclimate and sediment 
      source from cores taken from deposits beneath Bear Lake, 
      which sometimes receives water and sediment from Bear 
      River and sometimes only from the small drainage basin of 
      Bear Lake itself.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      Original data were drawn on 1:24,000-scale topographic maps by the author.  
        Attributes have been checked by both the author and reviewers for 
        accuracy and completeness.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    The map was constructed in two parts that required different approaches and 
      compilation scales.  In the relatively large Bear River drainage basin 
      upstream of Bear Lake, the map (sheet 1) was compiled from several 
      published geologic maps supplemented by interpretation of 1:80,000-scale 
      aerial photographs; interpretations were mostly not checked in the field.  
      Few changes were made in areas where published mapping was sufficiently 
      detailed and reliable.  However, I altered geologic contacts in places, 
      mainly across quadrangle boundaries where map units of previous workers 
      did not match, where two maps of the same area showed units differently, 
      or where I interpreted the geology differently.  In addition, published 
      unit names were revised and unit descriptions modified to achieve 
      consistency across the entire map area.  In areas where published mapping 
      was too generalized, contacts and map units were modified as needed using 
      aerial-photograph interpretation and the author's judgment.  Contacts in 
      these areas are considered less reliable.  In one area, mapping was 
      derived entirely from interpretation of aerial photographs; these contacts 
      may be less reliable than others.
    Surficial deposits in the drainage basin of Bear Lake were mapped in detail.  
      This map (sheet 2) was compiled on 1:24,000-scale topographic maps on a 
      PG-2 stereoplotter by interpretation of 1:40,000-scale aerial photographs 
      coupled with several months of outcrop investigations and hand augering.  
      Deposit types such as river terraces of different ages and channels 
      incised into lake plains were tentatively identified on aerial 
      photographs.  Stereoscopic viewing of the aerial photographs indicated 
      locations where deposits were exposed in road or canal cuts.  These 
      locations were then visited in the field to check the identification.  
      Where no exposures were available, a bucket auger was used to obtain 
      sediment in 10- to 20-cm depth increments.  Auger holes were usually 
      terminated in loose sand or gravel beds that could not be cored by hand.  
      Materials such as shells and organic matter, suitable for radiocarbon 
      dating and for interpretation of hydrologic environments, were collected 
      from both outcrop exposures and auger sediment (Reheis and others, 2005).  
      Thus, the Bear Lake part of the map (sheet 2) contains far more detail 
      than the Bear River part upstream of the lake (sheet 1).  Consequently, 
      the Bear Lake part can be viewed and printed at higher resolution than the 
      overall map.

    Polygon and chain-node topology present.  Map elements were visually checked 
      for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon attributes, and 
      other errors.  Automated (ARC/INFO) routines were used to check the 
      databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, 
      sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection 
      information.  The map was reviewed by other geologists for consistency 
      with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping 
      standards.

      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        Contacts were positioned primarily by photointerpretation of aerial 
          photographs on a PG2 plotter at a scale of 1:40,000 inside the 
          drainage basin and 1:80,000 outside the basin, at +/- 10 meters 
          accuracy, and transferred to 1:24:000-scale base maps.  Please refer 
          to 'Published sources of geologic mapping and relative confidence in 
          the mapping' section in text.
