The type of map represented in the picture is a geological map. Geological maps show features such as soil and rock type and structural features such as faults. There are numerous faults represented on the map The main type observed are thrust faults. The area around Salt Lake is approximately between Quaternary to late Tertiary based on the map. The main geologic unit in this area is composed of alluvial, glacial and lake sediments. Middle Tertiary volcanic rocks can be found south of Richfield. Pre-Cambrian metamorphic (narrow outcrop east of the Great Salt Lake) and igneous rocks are the oldest represented on the map. The youngest rocks are Quaternary salt flats found mainly south-west of the Salt Lake. Intrusive rock outcrops can be found in different areas on the map. Outcrops can be observed southeast of Richfield, south-east of Ceder Clay and North of Lake Powell. Coal is the fossil fuel type present in the Green River and Price area.
