	History of The Oquirr Mountains, Utah
		The name Oquirrh (pronounced O-Ker) was taken from the Goshute Indian word meaning "wooded mountain." Early visits to these mountains were undertaken by the Indians, mountain men, government explorers, and Mormon pioneers.
		For the next decade, the Oquirrhs continued to be used as a grazing ground as well as a valuable source of timber for the Mormons.
		Lode mining received its biggest boost with the arrival at the Oquirrhs of the Bingham and Camp Floyd branch of the Utah Central Railroad in 1873.

	Geology of Utah
		Generations of geologists have chosen to study geology in Utah because erosion and climate have exposed an extraordinary diversity of rocks and geologic structures.
		Utah's landscape exposes a variety of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, more than 500 mineral species, and fossils of widely diverse lifeforms including worms, trilobites, shellfish, corals, fish, dinosaur footprints and bones, and plant and animal remains, including ice-age mammoths.
		Utah's varied geologic history endowed Utah with a remarkable array of geologic resources, and uplift and erosion have made locating and exploiting them relatively easy in some areas.

	Camp Williams, Utah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Traverse Mountains, though very small (17 miles maximum length and 5.5 miles maximum width) maintain an importance out of proportion with their size because they separate the Great Basin geologic and physiographic province from the Western Rocky Mountains province and because of their unusual east-west orientation (Marsell, 1932).
		The Utah Lake drains into the Great Salt Lake through the Jordan River maintaining a wide flood plain over its entire course except along the narrow water gap called the Jordan Narrows where the river splits the Traverse Mountains into an eastern and western section (Marsell, 1932).
		The Camp is stratified by predominantly east-west drainages on the eastern half of the camp and north-south drainages on the western half of the camp revealing vegetation patterns that are strongly tied to slope and aspect.
