Excerpt from A Geophysical Characterization of the Soda Butte Creek Drainage: Yellowstone National Park
Geophysical techniques were used to help characterize the subsurface of the Soda Butte Creek drainage. Both seismic refraction surveys and vertical electrical soundings (ves) were performed in an attempt to better understand the characteristics of the local aquifer. The study site is located near the northeastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, and it is approximately three miles from the community of Cooke City, Montana. Soda Butte Creek is a major tributary of the Lamar River, which in turn is a major tributary of the Yellowstone River; thus, this investigation will assist the National Park Service in decisions concerning future development along the Park's northeastern boundary.
Three seismic refraction surveys and seven soundings have been used to define the following parameters associated with the valley's subsurface.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geophysical characteristics of the Soda Butte Creek drainage in #ellowstone National Park. The author uses seismic refraction and electrical resistivity measurements to obtain knowledge about the area's subsurface, including the thickness and composition of the valley fill, the thickness of the local aquifer, and the identification of bedrock. The findings indicate that the valley fill is primarily composed of sands and gravels, with an aquifer thickness of approximately 100 ft, suggesting high permeability. The underlying bedrock is likely the Flathead Sandstone, which exhibits higher porosity due to fractures, allowing for groundwater flow through both the valley fill and bedrock. The study's insights contribute to the understanding of the area's hydrogeology and provide valuable information for future development decisions, ensuring the preservation of this environmentally sensitive location.
