Coincident gravity, magnetotelluric (MT), and seismic reflection‐refraction surveys were conducted along a line traversing the boundary between the volcanic‐covered Eastern Snake River plain, Idaho, and the sediment‐covered Western overthrust belt, One‐dimensional MT and seismic refraction analysis away from the immediate boundary between sediments and volcanics successfully maps the depths to units of igneous and sedimentary—or metasedimentary—rock. Substantially different models of the volcanic‐covered terrain and of the sediment‐covered terrain are linked by a gravity anomaly and by an elongation and rotation of MT anisotropy ellipses which indicate a fault. Fault dip, depth extent, and motion are constrained by marked changes in the first‐arrival apparent velocities and by an electrical marker layer. The analysis shows that metasediments extend laterally at least 16 km beneath the volcanic cover. The two terrains are connected by a boundary zone which is a major normal fault.
