Abstract
The transition between the Uinta basin and the Uinta uplift is masked by Tertiary and Quaternary sediments, so that both the position and the structural style of the boundary are unclear. Seismic data and recently drilled wells help to clarify the character of the boundary as having upthrust geometry, which is typical of the Rocky Mountain foreland. The structural configuration thus interpreted is significant to petroleum entrapment in a zone paralleling the entire south flank of the Uinta Mountains.
