Abstract
Probable Late Cenozoic Capture of the Sevier River into the Sevier Desert Basin, Utah
Abstract
The modern course of the Sevier River through Leamington Canyon to the Sevier Desert may have been established in late Tertiary or early Quaternary time as the result of a stream capture northeast of the Canyon Range in central Utah. Prior to the capture the river apparently flowed eastward from Mills Valley through Mills Gap into Juab Valley, then northward through Juab Valley and Currant Creek Canyon to Utah Valley. Evidence for the capture includes dissected pediments northeast of the Canyon Range and the two major antecedent or superimposed canyons, Mills Gap and Currant Creek Canyon, which are now occupied by underfit streams.
