Its base, bordering the old road, is literally covered with names and dates, many of the former well known in the history of the west, and some of them antedating Fremont's time. The Sweetwater flows immediately along the southern end of it, although on the opposite side of the stream another ridge, continuing toward the southwest, was once connected with it. It is a vast and excellent illustration of disintegration, its rounded form resembling an oblong haystack, with layers of rock lapping over the top and sides of the mass. Thin layers have been broken off in part, and huge...

Album caption and index card: Extinct Soda Spring Basin. About 3 miles up the valley of a small tributary of the Bear River we come to a most remarkable formation, consisting of the basins of old springs long extinct.

Notes on album caption: None. Descriptive Catalog of the Photographs of the United States Geological Survey of the Territories, W. H. Jackson, Photographer, Second Edition, Illustrated, 1871...

Upper reaches of Nisaqually and Wilson Glaciers as seen from station 13 on August 30, 1957. Most of exposed bedrock areas marked in photo no. 18 are now covered by Wilson Glacier. Glacier surface at profile 3 is only 3 feet (1 m) higher than in 1949, but near left edge of picture it probably is about 60 feet (18 m) higher because at profile 2 the ice level rose 97 feet (30 m) from 1949 to 1957. The crevassing appears much coarser (rougher) now and extends to the east edge of the glacier. Exposed face of the ice field above the cliff is thicker. The falls at far left are nearly dry (compare with photo no. 18). Note the different layers (ages) of firn exposed in the small area at lower right, which can be differentiated...
