Donald R. Currey spent over two decades researching and exploring relics of ancient Lake Bonneville in the eastern Great Basin. Shoreline and deepwater deposits of Lake Bonneville document coastal processes, lake chemistry, and environmental change during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. This field guide summarizes findings at many of the classic localities researched by Currey and colleagues that contributed to the current understanding of this impressive pluvial lake and its interglacial successor, Great Salt Lake. Subjects include coastal processes at Antelope Island and the Stockton Bar; lake history, chemistry and environmental change at Stansbury Island, the Public Shooting Grounds and Hansel Valley; deltaic depositional processes at Big Cottonwood Canyon, American Fork Canyon and Brigham City; and the relative chronology of glacial and lacustrine deposition at Little Cottonwood Canyon and Bells Canyon.
