Gravity survey of Ogden Valley, Weber County, Utah
Samuel Woods Stewart
1956, Open-File Report 56-112
Ogden Valley is a northwest trending valley within the Wasatch Mountains of north-central Utah. On the basis of geological evidence Ogden Valley is believed to be structurally controlled by normal faults along both the east and west margins. Gravity measurements in the valley definitely indicate a fault with at least...
