Scenes of the plateau lands and how they came to be
(Book)

Wm Lee Stokes has written a book on the geology of the Plateau Lands of the American West. It's center is Four Corners and it stretches beyond the Colorado Plateau to the Great American Desert to the Southwest to the Rocky Mountains (page 3). Stokes describes hard rock and soft rock. He describes large rock and small rock, fractured rock and what makes it (most are found broken and lying on the ground due subsurface pressures that cause joints), the colors of rock, cliffs, mesas and buttes, canyons, arroyos, washes, and gullies, monuments, etc.
