Petroglyphs along Potash-Lower Colorado River Scenic Byway, Moab, Utah. Rock art was produced by a number of prehistoric and historic peoples over thousands of years. A big game hunting people, known as Paleo-Indians, are considered to be the first human users in the area. Their game included now extinct Pleistocene fauna such as mammoths and mastodons. A later culture called Archaic, probably used central base camps during their seasonal round of activities based on harvesting wild plants and animals. Like those who first created rock art history near Moab, we begin the written history of the Association of Engineering Geologists..

Richard,
It would be a good addition to this soiurce, if you could add a paper on the basic Geology of the area, how the Potash was formed and the geologic conditions for its preservation over time.
Also is it being mined commercialy now? How much is left, if any, etc.
