This large gravel barrier is a transgressive barrier that is at an elevation in between the Stansbury and Provo levels of the ancient lake. There are multiple large features around the region that may have been deposited at the same time as this barrier. The longshore transport of the gravels was primarily to the north and the clasts are primarily from the Oquirrh Formation. However, large basalt clasts can also be found from a series of basalt flows to the northwest. There are tufa mounds and tufa encrusted gravels (beachrock) near the top of the barrier. The road is the old railroad bed for the transcontinental railroad.
