Show PART III IRRIGATION POTENTIAL some extent "by glaciation. Such action has given rise to an assemblage of land forms of variable sizes, shapes, and topographic positions. Except for the mountain ranges of igneous rocks, the basin is gener- ally underlain by sandstone, mudstone, and shale composing the parent rock from which the soil-forming material has been derived. Four general types of soil are found: (l) alluvial soils of stream-deposited materi- als, (2) glacial soils in the form of terraces or outwash plains derived partly from granites and other igneous materials of the higher mountains, (3) residual soils formed in place by the weathering of surface rocks but altered in places through deposition from higher residual lands, and (h) aeolian or wind-deposited soils.2/ Most; lands suitable for irrigation in the upper valleys of the re- gion are composed of alluvial soils confined to the bottom lands, ter- races, and valley fills. Those that are not presently irrigated have the highest potential for development as they are generally located in a po- sition where water supply is or can be made available at costs presently conducive to development. A portion of these lands occurs within irriga- tion projects that either have been authorized or have been found feasible for construction of project works for delivery of water. Potentially irrigable land within an authorized Federal project in the Green River Subregion. This rangeland is to be de- veloped for irrigation. 1/ Refer to Appendix VI for detail on soils. 58 |
