OPEN FILE REPORT 2016-6Jackson 1:100,000-scaleSurficial Geologic Map

Quaternary faults— Faults which show surface offset of Quaternary-aged units

East Gros Ventre fault— T he East Gros Ventre fault is primarily concealed by late Pliestocene–Holocene alluvium north and northeast of Jack son Hole along the southeastern base of East Gros Ventre Butte. T he ~20 km (12 mi) scarp potentially offsets a portion of the Flat Creek alluvial fan in a normal sense, however it has also been argued that the surface is related to fluvial undercutting of Bull Lak e aged outwash deposits. T he fault is considered as a Class B fault due to the uncertain origin of the mapped scarp. Locations are approximate. (Machette and Pierce, 2001) The mapped fault trace has been compiled from Love and Taylor (1962) and, due to its poor surface expression and uncertain orig in, is included solely in the name of completeness as well as to be consistent with the U.S. Geolog ical Survey’s Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States.

Grand Valley fault (Star Valley section)— T he Grand Valley fault system, comprised of four sections, is considered to be a Quaternary/late Cenozoic to Holocene normal fault, downthrown to the west, and extends 135 km (84 mi) from eastern Idaho into western W yoming along the base of the S nak e and S alt R iver R anges. T he Star Valley section is a Pleistocene-Holocene normal fault, downthrown to the west, that extends roughly 52 km (32 mi) and strik es north-south. Dip along the fault is considered to be 10–70 degrees to the west, but an exact angle is unknown. T he scarps are extensive and displacement generally ranges from 5–15 m (16–49 ft) in alluvium. T he recurrence interval is variable, and may range from 4–7 k a. T he most recent surface-rupturing earthquak e occurred at about 5,540±70 14C yr BP, based on paleoseismology investigations. T he S tar Valley section fault is considered a Class A fault by the USGS, denoting confirmed Quaternary displacement. Locations are approximate (McCalpin et al., 2001).

Greys River fault— T he Greys R iver fault is a Pleistocene-Holocene normal fault, downthrown to the west and bounds the west side of the W yoming R ange. T he fault extends approximately 50 km (31 mi) along a N 3° W strik e. Dip along the fault is considered to be 10–70 degrees to the west, but an exact angle is unknown. Complex fault scarps within the densely forested terrain are present at the base of the steep range front and can be traced along much of the length of the fault. Fault scarp displacement generally ranges from 3–11 m (10–36 ft) in alluvium. T he recurrence interval is variable, and may range from 2.0–5.2 k a. T he most recent event occurred 1,910–2,100 yr BP, based on radiocarbon ages. Average slip rate is believed to range between 0.2 mm (0.008 in) and 1.0 mm (0.04 in)/yr, with considerably faster rates over short intervals. T he Greys R iver fault is considered a Class A fault by the USGS, denoting confirmed Quaternary displacement. Locations are approximate (McCalpin, 1994).

Hoback Fault— T he largely concealed Hoback normal fault was primarily active during Miocene time, although evidence exists for potential early Quaternary offset in the northern section of the fault north of Game Creek ; the offset may instead be related to localized landslides. T he fault is ~18 km (11 mi) long and dips steeply to the west. T he fault is considered Class B due to little evidence of Quaternary offset and the possibility of an aseismic source for Quaternary scarps. The mapped fault trace has been compiled from Schroeder (1974) and Love and Albee (1977), and due to its poor surface expression and uncertain orig in, is included solely in the name of completeness as well as to be consistent with the U.S. Geolog ical Survey’s Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States. Phillips Valley fault (southern section)— T he southern section of the Phillips Valley fault is primarily projected from known offsets in the middle section of the fault, which due to steep terrain scarps are difficult to identify. T he section mak es up ~3 km (2 mi) of the 8 km (5 mi) total length of the fault. The mapped fault trace has been compiled from Oriel and Moore (1985) and, due to indefinite proof of Quaternary offset, is included solely in the name of completeness as well as to be consistent with the U.S. Geolog ical Surveys Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States.

Alluvium— Unconsolidated detrital material deposited during recent geologic time by a stream or other body of running water, as a sorted or semi-sorted sediment in the bed of a stream or on its floodplain or delta, or as a cone or fan at the base of a mountain slope; stream and river deposits. Does not include subaqueous deposits in seas, estuaries, lak es, or ponds Alluvium (a) Alluvium and alluvial fan deposits with minor components of slopewash (afs) Alluvium and slopewash (as) Alluvium and terrace deposits (at)

Old alluvial plain— A broad, relatively flat deposit formed by the regional erosion of coalescing alluvium and associated alluvial deposits Dissected old alluvial plain (Ad)

Terrace deposits— R elict alluvial deposits on relatively flat, horizontal, or gently inclined surfaces which are bounded by a steeper ascending slope on one side, and a steeper descending slope on the opposite side T errace deposits (t) T errace deposits and alluvium (ta) T errace deposits and glacial outwash (to) T errace deposits and slopewash (ts) Dissected terrace deposits (td) with minor components of alluvium (tda)

Alluvial fan deposits— Fan-shaped deposits made by streams or debris flows, where they have run out into a level (or nearly level) plain Alluvial fan deposits (f) Dissected alluvial fan deposits with minor components of alluvium (fda), sloperwash, (fds), or slopewash and alluvium (fdsa) Alluvial fan deposits and alluvium (fa) with minor components of slopewash (fas) Alluvial fan and slopewash deposits (fs) with minor components of alluvium (fsa)

Bench deposit— A long, narrow, comparatively level area bounded by steeper slopes above and below Bench deposit (b)

Landslide deposits— Soil and rock material that has moved downslope, usually en masse, under gravitational influence; earth and rock which become loosened from a hillside, and slide, flow, or fall down the slope Landslide deposits (l)

Glacial deposits— Deposits that have been formed through glacial action, such as till and moraine; at higher elevations deposits may also include rock glaciers Glacial deposits (g) Glacial deposits and alluvium (ga) Glacial deposits and colluvium (gc), at higher elevations these deposits may include rock glaciers Glacial deposits and eolian deposits (ge) Glacial deposits and outwash deposits with minor components of alluvium (goa) Glacial deposits and glaciated bedrock outcrops (gG) with minor components of alluvium (gGa), residium (gGr), or slopewash and residuum (gGsr) Glacial deposits and residuum with minor components of bedrock outcrops (grR), glaciated bedrock outcrops (grG), or slopewash (grs) Glacial deposits and slopewash (gs) with minor components of glaciated bedrock outcrops (gsG), or residuum (gsr)
