    Description

    SCARCE ITEM!! RARE IN HARD COVER!!
    This is USGS Professional Paper 257-A, “
    Lake Bonneville: Geology of Northern Utah Valley, Utah
    .” Published in 1953, this is a scarce and interesting work, seldom seen on Ebay. This report consists of the 99 page hard cover book and all three of the color maps and a large chart of the formations. These were only issued in soft covers, but this was hard bound by a mining company. The gilt lettering on the spine is still bright.
    This report examines the formations laid down by lake Bonneville in the area around the north end of Utah Lake. This ares is right around Provo which is in the bottom right of the map area. American Fork and Lehi are also on the map. The maps are pretty cool looking and would look great framed.
    The development and evolution of Lake Bonneville into Utah Lake and other lakes over time is an interesting story, and the color maps help make it clear. The cross-section diagram of the formations pieces it all together. It's amazing what's underfoot that we don't even know about, but this report pieces it all together. This would be of interest to local residents or anyone interested in Utah geology. It is a scarce item.
    Here is a great opportunity to own an old interesting publication in a rare, well-preserved hard-bound copy.
    Shipping weight is two pounds. Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping afford
