2 Breach of highway embankment on East Bench in Salt Lake City caused extensive damage to residential neighborhood downslope.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n006
3 Pavement of Big Cottonwood Canyon Road, east of Salt Lake City, torn up by cloudburst flood in August 1969.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n007
4 Damage to newly laid curb and gutter on Salt Lake City's East Bench, resulting from August 1969 cloudburst.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n008
5 Damage to the Salt Lake City Cemetery from a flood channeled in Perry's Hollow, a normally dry drainage course.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n009
6 Mud-flow debris cleared from residence after storm on Salt Lake City's East Bench.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n019
7 Engineering plan for a proposed reservoir in Salt Lake City. Note the anomalous contour spacing under the arrow. This indicates that the hillside has slid in the past. Construction of a reservoir here would inundate the toe of an ancient landslide and destroy the balance and stability of the weak landslide mass.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n025
8 Slide of fill material in high, steep fill slope on Salt Lake City's North Bench.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n060
9 Closer view of slide cracks in high fill in Salt Lake City subdivision. Note housing density downslope.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n061
10 Groundwater, boiling up sand, at depth of a few feet in Sugarhouse, Salt Lake City, revealed by foundation excavation. Water probably arises along East Bench branch of the Wasatch Fault.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n065
11 Damage to a house in Salt Lake City results from an unsatisfactory foundation. Note in particular the dropping of the arch over the doorway.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n079
12 Damage to a major edifice in Salt Lake City resulted from differential settling of the two portions of the building. Arrow points to zone of distress which extends to foundation level. Note that window frames are askew.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n083

17 Map of portion of the Wasatch Front showing the Wasatch Fault Zone in relation to the Salt Lake City aqueduct system (with water system facilities as projected into the 20th Century). Map illustrates severity of the earthquake problem in urban Utah.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n095
18 Branch of the Wasatch Fault exposed in utility trench excavation in Salt Lake City. Hammer and field book are at the same stratigraphic horizon, indicating a displacement of 2 1/2 feet in late mudflow deposits, just below the ground surface.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n096
19 Landslide along a scarp of the East Bench Fault in Salt Lake City. No earth tremor is known to have triggered this slide, but an earthquake could trigger similar slides, given similar geologic conditions.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n099
