This paper presents a study of the drainage, topography, geomorphology, stratigraphy, structure and geologic history of the valley along with the geologic map and a series of topographic profiles Several periods of orogenic activity are indicated by angular unconformities at the top of the Cutler and Moenkopi formations, and by folding and faulting of the remaining formations which occurred primarily during the Laramide Revolution. The Paradox salt series has moved intermittently since the close of the Permian continuing almost to the recent.application/pdfengGeology -- Utah -- Castle Creek ValleyThesis
