Lake Lahontan : geology of southern Carson Desert, Nevada / by R. B. Morrison. - Washington: United States Government Printing Office, 1964. - v, 156 p. : ill., maps ; 29 cm. +8 maps + 4 diagr. - 401 .
Conduct map 1: map of Carson river channels and highest lake levels of fallon time. Conduct map 2: geologic map of saddle at western end of Wyemaha valley. Conduct map 3: geologic map of the eastern part of the soda lake quadrangle, Nevada. Conduct map 4: geology map of the fallon quadrangle, Nevada. Conduct map 5: geologic map of the stillwater quadrangle, Nevada. Conduct map 6: geologic map of the Carson lake quadrangle, and adjacent areas, Nevada. Conduct map 7: topographic map of southern Carson desert area showing portion geologically mapped, traces of lake maxima and locations of entries in appendices a and b and of chief wells yielding natural gas. Conduct map 8: shaded relief map of the Carson desert area, Nevada. Conduct diagr. 1: correlation of the late quaternary successions of the lake Lahontan, lake Bonneville, and sierra Nevada areas, showing the age relations of deposits and soils, inferred lake and glacial fluctuations, and relative degree of soil development in each area. Conduct diagr. 2: relative time of soil formation and tufa deposition, in relation to fluctuations of lake Lahontan and younger lakes. Conduct diagr. 3: altitudes and time relations of prominent shorelines of lake Lahontan and younger lakes in the Carson lake quadrangle, where apparently undeformed. Conduct diagr. 4: cross section through saddle at western end of Wyemaha valley the type area of the Wyemaha and sehoo formations.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 151-153) and index (p. 155-156).
A stratigraphic study of the Cenozoic geology of part of the basin of Lake Lahontan, one of the great late Pleistocene lakes of western United States.
