The Central and Eastern Snake River Plain is a bimodal volcanic province formed by migration of the North American Plate westward over the Yellowstone Hot Spot. Volcanic units consist of rhyolitic flows and ash fall deposits with basaltic flows originating from eruptive and volcanic centers mainly known as the Bruneau-Jarbidge, Juniper Mountain-Owyhee, Owyhee-Humboldt, and Twin Falls volcanic centers.

Chapter 1 presents the Central Snake River Plain volcanic province introducing sample locations where zircon populations occur from the Archaen to the Pleistocene periods. Modern stream signatures and drainage development are discussed. Chapter 2 addresses Snake River Plain rhyolites presenting volcanic progression, tectonic associations, and petrology. Chapter 3 presents details on Miocene tuff deposits belonging to the McMullen Creek Tuff.
