| Description | The Uinta Mountains, Utah-Colorado, are an east-trending range in a dominately north-trending structural province. The western part of the Uintas impinges upon the Sevier orogenic belt, and, in part, rose synkinematically with late-stage tectonism within the overthrust belt, Thus, in part, the structural evolution of the Uinta Mountains is related to the structural evolution of the Sevier overthrust belt. The Rockport Lake region, in northcentral Utah, is an area where the interaction between the Uinta arch and the Sevier overthrust belt can be studied. In this area, several imbricates of the Absaroka thrust are exposed: the Crandall Canyon, Dry Canyon. Rockport, and (perhaps) the Cherry Canyon Thrusts: |
