Quaternary deposits in the Mount Terrill, UT 7.5 minute quadrangle were mapped during the summer of 2008 as part of an EDMAP project. The quadrangle is located in south-central Utah and is located within the Fishlake National Forest. Field mapping accompanied by aerial photograph, DEM, and satellite image interpretation were used to identify and map the different surficial deposits. Major Quaternary features within this quadrangle include glacial deposits from the Fish Lake Hightop Plateau, glacial deposits in the western fork of upper U.M. Creek, various styles of mass movement deposits on the flanks of Mt. Marvine and Mt. Terrill, and alluvial and terrace deposits associated with Sevenmile Creek.
