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. They are called the "petrifying springs" by the settlers, from the abundance of calcareous tufa which exists in the basins. Some of them are 6 feet in depth, and contain large masses of plants coated with a calcareous material, which retains perfectly the form of the leaf and stem. Caribou County, Idaho. 1871.

The Castle Rock in Boulder Canyon. The canyon is about 17 miles in length, cutting deep down through the metamorphic rocks of the foothills, so that in some places the sides of the canyon rise up nearly 3,000 feet above its bed. Boulder County, Colorado. 1873.

(Panorama with photograph 175, jwh00175) Henrys Lake, a shallow body of water, about 3 by 2 miles in diameter, and full of small, scattered islands, and the source of Henrys Fork. It is well stocked with most excellent trout. At this point are four remarkable passes through the range, Tyghee and Red Rock, on the east and west; Raynolds, or the Madison, on the north; and Henrys Lake, on the south. Elevation of lake, 6,492 feet; Tyghee Pass, 7,063 feet; Red Rock Pass, 7,271 feet; Raynolds, 7,911 feet. The view is taken from the north, looking south, over Sawtell's ranch.

Scene in Monument Park, along Monument Creek, and the small tributaries that flow into it from the west, some of the most singular and unique monument formations to be met with in the whole country, and the view we have noted gives but a faint conception of their beauty. View is upon a small tributary of Monument Creek, about 9 miles above Colorado City. The stream has cut a little valley through a coarse material with layers of irregular deposition, hardened into a compact sandstone. Then comes a thin layer of ironstone, or impure limonite, with now and then this seams of marl or clay, but the whole is a quartzite material, and rather coarse. The light colored sandstones below are weathered into most singular columnaror...

Gothic Mountain, East River, picturesque mountain form, as well as a most instructive geological picture. The bast of the mountain is Cretaceous; then comes a broad, deep band of eruptive rock, covered with the Cretaceous, which is again surmounted with the volcanic material forming its summit. Elevation 12,498 feet. Gunnison County, Colorado. 1873. (Photo same as no. 403)

Album caption: Devils Gate Bridge. The most attractive feature of the canyon is the roar of the waters of the Weber as they roll over the immense masses of rock in its bed, with the rush and tumult of a mountain torrent. For 4 miles we are enclosed with nearly perpendicular walls of gneiss, 2,000 feet in height, forming the central portion of the Wasatch Mountains; the river rushing through it at right angles. The rocks are beautifully banded everywhere. There are also coarse aggregations of quartz and feldspar all along the sides of this channel; and high up on the steep mountain flanks are vast deposits of boulders and fine sand. Weber County, Utah. 1869. Handwritten notes on album caption: None Index card:...
