EXPLANATION
This map presents a landslide inventory for the Ferron Creek area, Sanpete and Emery Counties, Utah, at a scale of 1:24,000. The purpose of the map and accompanying geodatabase are to show and characterize historical and prehistoric landslides larger than about 50 feet across their shortest dimension, and to provide information useful for managing landslide problems. The map and accompanying geodatabase were prepared by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) as a cooperative project for the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The map covers 109 square miles on the east side of the Wasatch Plateau in the Ferron Creek watershed (Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center, 2015). We used geographic information system (GIS) software to capture, store, and display the data for each mapped landslide.
