1930 W. M. Davis in Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer. XLI. 299 It seems to me highly appropriate that the lava sheets, which were thus spread unconformably on the Powell surface of the worn-down King mountains, and which now cover the back slopes of the tilted Gilbert blocks, should be called Louderbacks, after their discoverer.
1965 W. D. Thornbury Regional Geomorphol. U.S. xxiv. 473/2 Some of the range have lava caps, called by Davis (1930) louderbacks.
1968 R. W. Fairbridge Encycl. Geomorphol. 679/1 Since the original [lava] flow would normally have filled a valley, the louderback is usually also a form of inverted topography.
