This report contains the results of four separate flood-frequency analyses designated A, B, C, and D. Analysis A is for the portion of Wyoming east of the Continental Divide. Analysis B applies to the portion of Wyoming in Part 9, as designated in streamflow reports entitled \"Surface Water Supply of the United Stated\" published by the U.S. Geological Survey, and was extracted fro.m an unpublished study by W. P. Somers in 1959. Analysis C applies to Part 10 and was extracted from Circutar 457 (Berwick, 1962). Analysis D applies to Part 13 and was extracted from a report by C. A. Thomas, H. C. Broom, and J. E. Cummans (1963).
Methods described in this report can be used to estimate the magnitude of a flood of any selected recurrence interval between 1.1 and 50 years for any unregulated stream in Wyoming, gaged or ungaged, within the scope of the data. Flood-frequency relations are not defined for a large part of the North Platte River basin in south-central Wyoming because of insufficient data.

Principles of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of subsurface waters are well established and readily applicable. In many interpretations in geologic literature, geohydrologic principles have been employed realistically, but in many others these principles have been either ignored or violated.
Explanations of genesis of underclays and associated deposits afford some examples wherein principles of movement and activity of vadose and ground water have been ignored and others in which they have been used advantageously. Postulates stating that waters percolate downward from swamp areas do not allow for the usual movement of subsurface water in such environments. The idea that sediments were leached by vadose water after uplift satisfies the geohydrologic requirements.
Weathering and solution form porous and permeable zones subjacent to unconformities in dense rocks such as carbonates and granites; this illustrates the geohydrologic and economic significance of unconformities. Examples are Mohawkian carbonate aquifers of northern Illinois and oil-bearing limestones of Mississippian age of eastern Montana.
The flushing effects of meteoric water and other hydrodynamic factors active during erosion periods are important elements in the genesis and concentration of brines. Explanation of the origin and occurrence of brines must include consideration of the geohydrologic environments throughout their geologic history.

The project, known as Project Gnome, is an element of the Plowshare program--a study of peacetime applications of nuclear fission. The location of the proposed underground shot is in a sparsely-populated area in southeastern Eddy County, N. Mex., east of the Pecos River and about 25 miles southeast of the city of Carlsbad. The area is arid to Semiarid and ground water is a vital factor in the economic utilization of the land, which is primarily used for stock raising. An investigation of the Project Gnome site and surrounding area for the purposes of evaluating the ground-water resources and the possible effect upon them from the detonation of the nuclear shot was desired by the Commission. This report describes work done by the U.S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Commission and presents results of the investigation of the ground-water resources and geology of the area. \r\n\r\nThe most intensive investigations were made within a 15-mile radius of the site of Project Gnome and mainly on the east side of the Pecos River. The total area of study of over 1,200 square miles includes parts of Eddy and Lea Counties, N. Mex. \r\n\r\nThe Project Gnome site is in the sedimentary Delaware Basin. It is underlain by about 18,000 feet of sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Ordovician to Recent. Upper Permian evaporitic rocks, which contain the principal source of potash available in the United States, are worked in nearby mines. The potash minerals are found in a massive salt bed about 1,400 feet thick in the Salado Formation of Permian age. The land surface of the area is covered mostly by a wind-blown sand and caliche; however, rocks of the Rustler Formation of Permian age and younger rocks of Permian, Triassic, Pleistocene(?) and Recent age crop out at several localities. Solution by ground water of salt at the top of the Salado Formation and of anhydrite within the Rustler Formation has removed thick sections of these rocks. A subsequent lowering of the land surface and differential collapse of the Rustler has formed many sinkholes and has created a karst topography over much of the western part of the area. \r\n\r\nGround water is obtained from rocks of Permian, Triassic, Tertiary, and Quaternary age in the general region. However, the only aquifer at the Gnome site is the Culebra Dolomite Member of the Rustler Formation of Permian age. The aquifer is about 500 feet beneath the surface at the site and is about 30 feet thick. An aquifer, immediately above the top of the salt, contains a brine solution in Nash Draw, a few miles west of the Gnome site. This aquifer discharges into the Pecos River and is a major source of contamination of the river water. No potable water is known to be present in the area below the top of the salt of the Salado Formation. \r\n\r\nThe ground water in the area is generally under artesian pressure. The general direction of ground-water movement is toward the Pecos River both east and west of the river. At the Gnome site the artesian head of the water in the Culebra Dolomite Member is about 7.5 feet. The water moves westward through the aquifer at a rate of about ? foot per day. The most widespread utilization of ground water east of the river is for stock use. Irrigation usage west of the Pecos River accounts for the largest withdrawal of water.

In the district, important deposits of talc and zinc and minor deposits of lead are mined from a northeast trending belt of marble. Deposits of pyrite that were prospected and mined during and before World War I occur in schists in the vicinity of Pyrites and Antwerp villages. Fifteen to 50 miles east-southeast is the St. Lawrence County magnetite district, which contains commercially important magnetite deposits.
The asbestos deposits in the United States (exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii) are shown on the accompanying map. The principal mineralogic types of asbestos (chrysotile and amphibole) are indicated by the shape of symbols, and the relative importance of the deposit is indicated by the size of symbols.
The text lists localities by State by numbers that are keyed to the map. Localities are distinguished by name of mine, prospect, or geographic area; their coordinates are given to the nearest minute of latitude and longitude. Geologic relations of each occurrence, if known, are characterized briefly. The text and map were compiled from published and unpublished information, and at least one reference is given for each locality if reports on it have been published.
Chrysotile asbestos, a variety of serpentine, occurs chiefly in serpentinized peridotite and is distributed in the United States in two principal belts, the eastern extending from Maine to Alabama, and the western extending from Washington to California, where numerous masses of ultramafic rocks were intruded in Paleozoic and Mesozoic time, respectively. Domestic production from deposits of this type has not been large compared with that of Canada from the extensively developed deposits in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. The principal mine in the United States is located at Belvidere Mountain, Vt. Minor amounts of asbestos have been produced from other deposits in these belts and from scattered occurrences of chrysotile elsewhe,re in a number of States between them. Increased exploration and development activity for short-fiber chrysotile has recently been reported in California.
Chrysotile also occurs in bedded limestone, metamorphosed close to intrusions of diabase. The principal occurrences of this type are in Arizona, where small quantities of long-fiber, low-iron chrysotile have been mined from numerous small deposits.
Several species of amphibole occur in fibrous forms; in the United States only anthophyllite and tremolite are known to have commercial importance. As both the anthophyllite and tremolite occur in ultramafic rocks, associated greenstone, and amphibolite, the overall distribution of amphibole asbestos in the United States is like that of chrysotile. The deposits are generally small and erratic in distribution.

Numerous furnaces were erected int the region, especially in and near Birmingham, Ala., which is still the principal iron and steel-making center of the area. Locally mined iron ores formed the principal feed of the furnaces, and much of the ore was mined from red beds of Silurian age. These red beds are an abundant resource of iron ore, and they account for a large part of the total production in the Southeastern United States. Exhaustion of near-surface ores, which was easily mined and the best grade, combined with improved transportation and economies of large-scale operations elsewhere, forced most of the furnaces to shut down (Edpt. of the Interior, 1959, production statistics and tables 4-9).
\nGeological studies have determined the lithology and approximate extent of the red iron ores of Silurian age in the Southeast. Detailed investigations have been made by private companies and government agencies. Most of this work has been in the Birmingham, Ala., district, and the remainder of the region has relatively little study in recent years.

The outcropping rocks are the Idavada Volcanics of Pliocene age, and the Idaho Group of Pliocene and Plieistocene age, consisting of the Banbury Basalt of middle Pliocene age and overlying predominantly sedimentary deposits of middle Pliocene through middle Pleistocene age. These rocks dip gently northward. The volcanic rocks are the best aquifers, but the yield of water from the sedimentary deposits is adequate for domestic and stock use. About 6,000 acre-feet of water is withdrawn annually from the Idavada Volcanics by 9 irrigation wells to irrigate about 3,000 acres. Only a few tends of acre-feet of water withdrawn from the other formations. The regional dip of the rocks induces weak artesian conditions in the volcanic rocks and somewhat higher artesian head in the sedimentary rocks. Estimated depth to water ranges from less than 250 feet to more than 750 feet, as shown in an accompanying map. The eastern part of the area appears to be more favorable for the development of ground water for irrigation than the western part because of better aquifers at shallower depth.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr6234","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management","usgsCitation":"Crosthwaite, E., 1962, Ground-water reconnaissance of the Sailor Creek area, Owyhee, Elmore, and Twin Falls Counties, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 62-34, Report: ii, 53 p.; 3 Plates: 32.94 x 21.57 inches and smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr6234.","productDescription":"Report: ii, 53 p.; 3 Plates: 32.94 x 21.57 inches and smaller","numberOfPages":"56","costCenters":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":155706,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0034/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":52232,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0034/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52233,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0034/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52234,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0034/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52235,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0034/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","county":"Elmore County;Owyhee County;Twin Falls County","otherGeospatial":"Sailor Creek Area","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -116.4626,42.0584 ], [ -116.4626,44.1361 ], [ -112.07,44.1361 ], [ -112.07,42.0584 ], [ -116.4626,42.0584 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a81e4b07f02db64a0c5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Crosthwaite, E.

Other aquifers include dolomite of Ordovician age and sand. and gravel of Quaternary age. Crystalline rocks of Precambrian age, which underlie all the water-bearing formations, form a practically impermeable basement complex and yield little or no water to wells. Ground water is the source of all public and most private and industrial water supplies in the county. The municipalities and industries obtain water chiefly from wells that penetrate the sandstones of Cambrian and Ordorician age. The Platteville formation and Galena dolomite of Ordovician age and the Niagara dolomite of Silurian age supply water to most domestic and stock wells and to a few industrial wells. Several buried valleys in the bedrock surface contain water-bearing deposits of sand and gravel. The source of the ground water in Fond du Lac County is local precipitation. Recharge to the water-bearing beds occurs in most of the county but is greatest where the bedrock formations are near the surface. Ground water is discharged by seeps and springs, by evaporation and transpiration, and by wells. Ground-water levels in wells fluctuate in response to recharge and to natural discharge and pumping. In areas not affected by pumping, water levels generally decline through the summer months because of natural discharge and lack of recharge, recover slightly in the fall after the first killing frost, decline during the winter, and recover in the spring when recharge is greatest. In areas of heavy pumping, the water levels are lowest in late summer and highest in late winter. Water levels in wells in the Fond du Lac area were about 5 to 50 feet above the land surface in 1885, but they had declined to as low as 185 feet below the land surface by 1957. Coefficients of transmissibility and storage of the sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age were determined by making controlled aquifer tests at Fond du Lac. The coefficients were verified by comparing computed water-level declines with actual declines. The computed values were within about 30 percent of the actual values, a reasonable agreement for coefficients of this type. Probable declines of water levels by 1966 were computed, using the same coefficients of transmissibility and storage. If the distribution of wells and the rate of pumping remain the same in 1957-66 as they were in 1956, the water levels will decline about 5 feet more by 1966. If, however, the distribution of pumped wells remains the same but the pumping by the city of Fond du Lac increases at a uniform rate from the 3 mgd (million gallons per day) pumped in 1956 to 5 mgd in 1966, the water levels in 1966 will be at least 60 feet below those of 1956. Dispersal of wells to the northwest toward the recharge area would reduce the water-level declines. The results of pumping tests, of test holes tapping the Niagara dolomite indicate that wells producing at least 200 gpm (gallons per minute) could be developed east of the Niagara escarpment. The ground water in Fond do Lac County is, in general, a hard calcium and magnesium bicarbonate water, which contains excessive iron in some areas.

Three others coincide in part with four extensive sedimentary basins--the Parnaiba or Maranhfio basin and the contiguous Sao Francisco basin in the northeast and east, the Amazon basin in the north and northwest, and the Paranfi basin in the south and southwest. In addition, the narrow, discontinuous coastal plain is considered as a province. the occurrence of ground water is discussed briefly, and pertinent data are given on the more important aquifers, together with information on some existing wells. Because of the widespread distribution of crystalline rocks of low permeability, it is difficult in many areas to develop large or even adequate ground-water supplies. In general, satisfactory supplies of water are available in most of the rest of the country. Some problems include the relative deficiency of rainfall in the northeast together with the occurrence, in parts of this region, of mineralized water in the crystalline rocks. Also, there is a potential problem of excessive lowering of water levels and interference among wells in the intensively developed area of the city of Sao Paulo.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1663A","usgsCitation":"Schneider, R., 1962, Ground-water provinces of Brazil: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1663, 14 p. ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1663A.","productDescription":"14 p. ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":138216,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1663a/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":28997,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1663a/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":28998,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1663a/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4aa8e4b07f02db6673f9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schneider, Robert","contributorId":102460,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schneider","given":"Robert","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":145571,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":35472,"text":"b1122F - 1962 - Geology and refractory clay deposits of the Haldeman and Wrigley quadrangles, Kentucky, with a section on coal resources","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2021-12-23T19:56:45.980641","indexId":"b1122F","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1962","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":306,"text":"Bulletin","code":"B","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"1122","chapter":"F","title":"Geology and refractory clay deposits of the Haldeman and Wrigley quadrangles, Kentucky, with a section on coal resources","docAbstract":"The Haldeman and Wrigley 7th-minute quadrangles are near the western edge of the eastern Kentucky coal field and cover an area of approximately 117 square miles in parts of Carter, Rowan, Elliott, and Morgan Counties, Ky. The rocks exposed in the two quadrangles are of Early and Late Mississippian and Early and Middle Pennsylvanian age. The Mississippian rocks are composed of the thick Brodhead formation, which consists of siltstone and shale, and eleven thin marine limestone and shale formations, having an aggregate thickness of about 150 feet. The Lee and Breathitt formations, of Pennsylvanian age, consist of sandstone, siltstone, and shale; they also contain thin beds of coal and several beds of underclay, including the economically important Olive Hill clay bed of Crider, 1913. Pennsylvanian rocks include beds of both continental and marine origin. The eleven thin Mississippian formations and the upper-most part of the thick Brodhead formation are truncated by a prominent unconformity on which rocks of Pennsylvanian age rest. The rocks occupy a region of gentle dips between the Cincinnati arch and the Appalachian Mountains.\r\n\r\nRefractory clay deposits are in the Olive Hill clay bed, which occurs in the \r\nlower part of the Lee formation. The Olive Hill clay bed is discontinuous and \r\nconsists of a series of irregularly shaped lenses. The bed is approximately \r\ntwo-thirds semifiint clay and one-third flint clay, and it contains minor amounts of plastic clay. Some of the flint clay is nearly pure kaolinite, but the semi flint and plastic clay consists of mixtures of kaolinite, illite, and mixed-layer clay minerals. The structure of the kaolinite ranges from highly crystalline to very poorly crystalline 'fireclay' type. The degree of crystallinity of the kaolinite and the hardness of the clay vary inversely with the amount of illite and mixed-layer clay minerals present. The nearly pure kaolinite is believed to have formed by the removal of alkalies and some silica fram mixtures of kaolinite, illite, and mixed-layer clays by leaching in swamps to the deposition of the beds overlying the clay. The refractory properties of the clay vary directly with the purity of the kaolinite, and refractoriness decreases as the proportions of illite and mixed-layer clays increase. Certain nonclay minerals, chiefly siderite, pyrite, and iron oxide-bearing minerals, also act as fiuxes, reducing the refractory properties of the clay. The entire resources of clay in the Olive Hill clay bed are roughly and tentatively estimated to include 105,000,000 tons in the Haldeman quadrangle and 175,000,000 tons in the Wrigley quadrangle. Much of this clay is of poor quality and the amount that is better than the minimum requirements for use in refractories is probably about 30,000,000 tons. Only a fraction of this tonnage is suitable for superheat-duty products.\r\n\r\nLimestone is the only nonmetallic mineral resource other than refractory clay \r\nthat has been developed in the two quadrangles, but 1arge amounts of shale \r\nsuitable for use in making lightweight aggregate and structural clay products \r\nmay also be present. Most of the limestone, which is quarried. in both quadrangles, is used for road-metal, concrete aggregate, and agriculture stone, but some of the limestone is of the quality that would be suitable for other uses. Virtually all the Mississippian Beech Creek limestone of Malott, 1919 which is as much as 18 feet thick, consists of high-calcium limestone. Shale beds that appear most favoralble for making lightweight aggregate are in the shale facies of the Lee formation of Pennsylvanian age. Shale that is probably suitable for structural clay products is present in the shale flacles of the Lee formation and in the Muldraugh formation of Mississippian age.\r\n\r\nSeveral dry holes have been drilled in search for oil and gas within the area \r\nof the two quadrangles.

They are in the eastern part of the San Francisco volcanic field and on the southwest flank of the Black Mesa basin. The Supai formation, Coconino sandstone, Kaibab limestone, Moenkopi formation, and Chinle formation are overlain in parts of the area by volcanic rocks and alluvium. The regional water table occurs chiefly in the Coconino sandstone at altitudes of about 5,000 feet at Sunset Crater, about 4,075 feet near Wupatki Ruin, and about 4,100 feet near Citadel Ruin. The general movement of the ground water is northeastward. Small supplies of perched water occur in the Moenkopi formation and in the alluvium, and perched water may be present locally in the volcanic rocks. The results of the field investigation indicated that adequate ground-water supplies were available from the Coconino sandstone to meet the needs of the National Monuments, and a well was drilled at the Wupatki Monument headquarters in 1958 to a total depth of 904 feet. It produced 50 gpm (gallons per minute) of water with 45 feet of drawdown from a static water level of 780 feet below land surface.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Hydrology of the Public Domain","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1475J","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the National Park Service","usgsCitation":"Cosner, O.J., 1962, Ground water in the Wupatki and Sunset Crater National Monuments, Coconino County, Arizona: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1475, Report: iv, 15 p.; 2 Plates: 29.25 x 30.88 inches and 14.80 x 9.90 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1475J.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 15 p.; 2 Plates: 29.25 x 30.88 inches and 14.80 x 9.90 inches","costCenters":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":424287,"rank":5,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_24413.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":26053,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1475j/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":137938,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1475j/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":26055,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1475j/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":26054,"rank":4,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1475j/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","county":"Coconino County","otherGeospatial":"Wupatki and Sunset Crater National Monuments","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -111.37672802160465,\n 35.496362689535246\n ],\n [\n -111.3417546733228,\n 35.496023716977206\n ],\n [\n -111.3417546733228,\n 35.51059824537198\n ],\n [\n -111.32468434856615,\n 35.510937156423665\n ],\n [\n -111.3234353004131,\n 35.525847826407\n ],\n [\n -111.30511592750378,\n 35.52550897830318\n ],\n [\n -111.30594862627237,\n 35.539739366704026\n ],\n [\n -111.28846195213124,\n 35.54007815471013\n ],\n [\n -111.28679655459409,\n 35.55464468518424\n ],\n [\n -111.27139162737458,\n 35.555322133826195\n ],\n [\n -111.27014257922156,\n 35.56108021613156\n ],\n [\n -111.27347337429622,\n 35.56175761038341\n ],\n [\n -111.27472242244926,\n 35.56886990434516\n ],\n [\n -111.28304941013533,\n 35.57835198094219\n ],\n [\n -111.2917927472059,\n 35.57869060577609\n ],\n [\n -111.29553989166466,\n 35.583431203130075\n ],\n [\n -111.34092197455422,\n 35.58309259834\n ],\n [\n -111.34050562516975,\n 35.618976737343004\n ],\n [\n -111.33426038440527,\n 35.618976737343004\n ],\n [\n -111.33259498686813,\n 35.62540709927329\n ],\n [\n -111.34092197455422,\n 35.626422372307616\n ],\n [\n -111.3417546733228,\n 35.63352892255604\n ],\n [\n -111.34841626347173,\n 35.63454409244743\n ],\n [\n -111.34966531162479,\n 35.626760793787625\n ],\n [\n -111.35924134746391,\n 35.62574552505072\n ],\n [\n -111.35840864869495,\n 35.58207677537757\n ],\n [\n -111.53494078764214,\n 35.583431203130075\n ],\n [\n -111.5357734864107,\n 35.53872299409777\n ],\n [\n -111.3750626240675,\n 35.53872299409777\n ],\n [\n -111.37672802160465,\n 35.496362689535246\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n },\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -111.48861546722918,\n 35.385188523284015\n ],\n [\n -111.52413297070495,\n 35.385388223878806\n ],\n [\n -111.52462286730436,\n 35.38239266304873\n ],\n [\n -111.53319605779885,\n 35.382192955038335\n ],\n [\n -111.5329511094989,\n 35.36002229319702\n ],\n [\n -111.52462286730436,\n 35.36002229319702\n ],\n [\n -111.52462286730436,\n 35.3566262486645\n ],\n [\n -111.48886041552865,\n 35.3566262486645\n ],\n [\n -111.48861546722918,\n 35.385188523284015\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab0e4b07f02db66dd3f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cosner, Oliver J.","contributorId":38533,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cosner","given":"Oliver","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143324,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":41120,"text":"ofr629 -

It encompasses about 390 square miles centered around the industrial cities of Utica and Rome. The Mohawk River, its tributary West Canada Creek, and a system of reservoirs and diversions to maintain the flow in the barge-canal system, assure an ample water supply for the foreseeable needs of the area. The water from these sources is generally of good chemical quality requiring little treatment, although that from the Mohawk River is only fair and may require some treatment for sensitive industrial processes. Additional surface water is available from smaller streams in the area, particularly Oriskany and Sauquoit Creeks, but the water from these sources is hard, and has a dissolved-solids content of more than 250 ppm (parts per million). Ground water is available in moderate quantities from unconsolidated sand and gravel deposits in the river valleys and buried bedrock channels, and in small quantities from bedrock formations and less permeable unconsolidated deposits. The quality of water from sand and gravel, and bedrock ranges from good to poor. However, where necessary, the quality can be improved with treatment. \r\n\r\nThe Mohawk River is the source of the largest quantity of water in the area. The flow of the stream below Delta Dam equals or exceeds 108 mgd (million gallons per day) 90 percent of the time, and at Little Falls it equals or exceeds 560 mgd 90 percent of the time. The flow between these two points is increased by additions from Oriskany, Sauquoit, and West Canada Creeks and from many smaller tributary streams. The flow is also increased by diversions from outside the area, from the Black and Chenango Rivers and West Canada Creek for improvement of navigation in the Erie (Barge) Canal, and from West Canada and East Branch Fish Creeks for the public supplies of Utica and Rome. Much of the public-supply water eventually reaches the river by way of sewerage and industrial waste-disposal systems. The total diversion from these sources averages more than 92 mgd. An estimated 18.5 mgd is withdrawn from the Mohawk River by industry, mostly for nonconsumptive uses. \r\n\r\nFloods in the Utica-Rome area are not a frequent problem owing to the use of regulatory measures. The major streams fluctuate through a narrow range in stage and generally only a narrow strip along the streams is subject to flooding. Water-bearing sand and gravel deposits in the major river valleys are the principal sources of ground water, especially where they are recharged by infiltration from streams. The most important potential source is the deposit of sand and gravel underlying the extensive plain adjacent to the Mohawk River between Delta Reservoir and Rome. Maximum sustained yields from these deposits are not known; but moderate quantities of water, 300 gpm (gallons per minute) or less from a single well, can probably be obtained from some parts of the sand plain area, particularly in the vicinity of a buried bedrock channel that extends southwestward from Delta Reservoir. Similar quantities of ground water probably can be withdrawn from some parts of the flood plain of the Mohawk River between Rome and Frankfort and from the sand and gravel deposits filling the valley of Ninemile Creek below Holland Patent. The deposits underlying the flood plain of the Mohawk River generally are fine grained but in places contain interstratified beds of coarser sand and gravel. The most productive part of the flood plain is at the east end near Frankfort. The deposits in Ninemile Creek valley also are generally fine grained; but where they are sufficiently thick, as over a buried bedrock valley southwest of Floyd, moderate quantities of water may be obtained. \r\n\r\nSmall to moderate quantities of water (150 gpm or less from a single well) can be obtained from sand and gravel deposits in the bottoms of Oriskany and Sauquoit Creek vall","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1499C","usgsCitation":"Halberg, H., Hunt, O.P., and Pauszek, F.H., 1962, Water resources of the Utica-Rome area, New York: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1499, Report: iv, 46 p.; 3 Plates: 21.00 × 17.15 inches or smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1499C.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 46 p.; 3 Plates: 21.00 × 17.15 inches or smaller","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":26891,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1499c/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":26890,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1499c/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":26889,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1499c/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":137141,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1499c/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":26892,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1499c/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":392829,"rank":6,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_24439.htm"}],"country":"United States","state":"New York","city":"Rome, Utica","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -75.59417724609375,\n 43.018705515824635\n ],\n [\n -75.10528564453125,\n 43.018705515824635\n ],\n [\n -75.10528564453125,\n 43.29120116988416\n ],\n [\n -75.59417724609375,\n 43.29120116988416\n ],\n [\n -75.59417724609375,\n 43.018705515824635\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49dfe4b07f02db5e3376","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Halberg, Henry N.","contributorId":19929,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Halberg","given":"Henry N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":144113,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hunt, O.

Complexly deformed impure quartzites and limestones of the Mississippian Milligen and Pennsylvanian-Permian Wood River formations were intruded by large bodies of quartz diorite and granodiorite along regional structures trending northwesterly; the intrusions are part of the Cretaceous Idaho batholith. Erosional remnants of the Challis volcanics, dominantly latitic to andesitic in composition and early(?) to middle Tertiary in age, rest unconformably on the older rocks. A sequence of Pliocene Rhyolitic ash flows and basaltic lava flows unconformably overlies the Challis and older rocks and is in turn unconformably overlain by olivine basalt of late Pliocene or early Quaternary age. The main valleys of the area, partly Erosional and partly structural in origin, are underlaind by late Quaternary olivine basalt flows (Snake River basalt) and intercalated lacustrine, fluvial, proglacial sediments.\r\n\r\nThe Big Wood River, the master stream of the area, flows southward through a narrow steep-sided valley in the mountainous country north of the Bellevue area and debouches into a broad alluvial valley, the Wood River Valley, in the foothill belt. The valley has the shape of an isosceles triangle with a ten mile long, east-west base consisting of a ridge of Pliocene volcanics which separates the valley from the Snake River Plains to the south. The river now flows through a narrow gap in the southwest corner of the triangle. A similar, but wider, gap around the east end of the ridge was formerly occupied by the river. The river has been shifted back and forth between these two gaps at least four times during an interval in which six late Quaternary basalt flows erupted in the Bellevue area. Two of the flows caused direct diversion of the river and another was influential in bringing about a diversion on an aggradational fan upstream from the lava dam.\r\n\r\nJust prior to the Bull Lake stage the river, flowing out the east gap, was blocked but not diverted by the youngest basalt flow in the Bellevue area. During the proglacial aggradation, the river shifted widely on its fan and spilled alternatively out both the east and west gaps. After the Bull Lake stage, the west gap had an advantageous base level relative to the lava-blocked east gap, and the river cut down in the west gap. After the second, Pinedale, proglacial aggradation in the Wood River Valley, the west gap still maintained an advantageous base level, and the river again cut down in the west outlet valley where it remains today.\r\n\r\nPeriglacial deposits completely dominate the sidestream valleys of the Bellevue area. They formed under a rigorous climate during the Pinedale stage, when slope erosion accelerated by frost activated processes caused aggradation of valley floors by local detritus. Even at present the larger sidestreams are so choked with detritus that the streams have not regained control of their valley floors.\r\n\r\nRecent basalt, comparable in age to the younger flows of the Craters of the Moon National Monument, spread from a rugged, cratered vent several miles south of the Bellevue area. Using degree of weathering, erosion, and soil development as a basis of comparison, this flow provides and end point for estimating the relative ages of the six late Quaternary flows in the Bellevue area.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr62120","usgsCitation":"Schmidt, D.L., 1962, Quaternary geology of the Bellevue area in Blaine and Camas Counties, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 62-120, Report: 92 p.; 12 Plates: 46.00 x 11.00 inches or smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr62120.","productDescription":"Report: 92 p.; 12 Plates: 46.00 x 11.00 inches or smaller","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":95333,"rank":11,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-09.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95332,"rank":10,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-08.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95331,"rank":9,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-07.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95330,"rank":8,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-06.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95329,"rank":7,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-05.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95328,"rank":6,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-04.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":496172,"rank":15,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_8017.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":95336,"rank":14,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-12.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95335,"rank":13,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-11.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95334,"rank":12,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-10.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95327,"rank":5,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-03.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95326,"rank":4,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-02.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":149785,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":44843,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":95325,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0120/plate-01.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","county":"Blaine County, Camas County","otherGeospatial":"Bellevue area","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -114.583,\n 43.5\n ],\n [\n -114.583,\n 43.25\n ],\n [\n -113.958,\n 43.25\n ],\n [\n -113.958,\n 43.5\n ],\n [\n -114.583,\n 43.5\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a9be4b07f02db65e168","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schmidt, Dwight Lyman","contributorId":54191,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schmidt","given":"Dwight","email":"","middleInitial":"Lyman","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":171818,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70220731,"text":"70220731 - 1962 - Late cenozoic structure of west-central Idaho","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2021-05-25T15:17:32.413246","indexId":"70220731","displayToPublicDate":"1962-12-31T10:12:02","publicationYear":"1962","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1786,"text":"Geological Society of America Bulletin","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Late cenozoic structure of west-central Idaho","docAbstract":"The massive Salmon River Mountains of interior Idaho are bounded on the west by a belt 30 miles wide of post-Miocene, west-tilted normal-fault blocks and west-dipping monoclines. The belt is coincident with the western border zone of the middle Cretaceous Idaho batholith, as it extends from the west edge of the massive interior of the batholith to about the western limit of the border zone of gneisses and schists. West of this belt is the Columbia Plateau province of irregular domal and anticlinal uplifts and northwest-trending normal faults. These structures are superimposed upon east- to northeast-trending, low-grade metamorphic rocks intruded by semi-concordant stocks and small batholiths, products largely of Late Jurassic (?) orogeny. The Idaho batholith has been little deformed, and its border-zone rocks of intermediate competence are broken by concordant structures. Young structures cut directly across the relatively incompetent rocks of the older orogen to the west. The mountains flanking the Snake River and Salmon River canyons are higher than those farther away, suggesting that local isostatic uplift may be compensating for their erosion.

Typically the formation consists of well-rounded, poorly sorted chert gravel which is trimodal in size distribution. The gravel fraction (mode 15 to 40+ mm) consists of Devonian and Mississippian chert and a small percentage of sandstone pebbles. The medium sand fraction (mode 0.5 mm) consists mainly of angular to well-rounded chert grains developed by attrition during transport. Well-rounded and frosted quartz grains also are present. The fine fraction (mode 0.15 mm) consists of clay, authi-genic (?) mica, and quartz. At its eastern limit the Tuscaloosa is locally well sorted and contains quartz pebbles and a large proportion of quartz sand. Also present in the same area are well-sorted, heavy-mineral-bearing sands and bimodal (0.04, 0.2 mm) siltstone, which contains sand-sized pellet aggregates and fragmentary plant fossils. The finest fraction (less than 0.044 mm) of both eastern and western facies of the Tuscaloosa consists of 60-80 per cent quartz, 5-30 per cent kaolin, and 5-30 per cent montmorillonite, all of which are present in Devonian and Mississippian bedrock. Minor exotic constituents include volcanic(?) glass and heavy minerals. The Mississippian chert gravel in the Tuscaloosa is of local origin, but the Devonian chert was transported from a western source. Other components from a western source are sandstone pebbles and frosted sand grains, both of which probably were derived from Cambrian or Ordovician formations that cropped out on the Pascola arch, an eastward-sloping extension of the Ozark dome. Quartz pebbles, heavy minerals, and some of the angular quartz sand present at the eastern edge of the Tuscaloosa may have been derived from Pennsylvanian sandstone and conglomerates that cropped out north and south of the Pascola arch. Most of the Tuscaloosa Formation is believed to be of nonmarine origin, deposited on the eastward-sloping flank of the Pascola arch. The eastern facies of the Tuscaloosa is believed to be partly marine in origin, the exotic components having been swept in by longshore currents. During deposition of the Tuscaloosa, the Ozark dome and the Cincinnati arch were connected by the Pascola arch, which is now deeply buried beneath the Mississippi Embayment, At that time the Pascola arch stood structurally about 3000 feet higher than at present, and its structural shape and dimensions were comparable to the present Nashville dome. During deposition of the Tuscaloosa the Nashville dome was structurally about 1000 feet lower than at present, and its crest probably was submerged beneath the sea.

Rocks as old as Cambrian were exposed on its crest. Downwarping of the dome, which commenced in Late Cretaceous time, resulted in the development of the Mississippi Embayment syncline, now filled with sediments of Cretaceous, Paleocene, and Eocene age. The flanks of the Mississippi Embayment syncline slope uniformly about 30 feet per mile. Most of the bending occurred near the synclinal axis, which generally follows the present course of the Mississippi River. Faults cutting the Paleozoic basement and, in some areas, extending upward into the overlying younger rocks resulted from superposition of the narrow synclinal bend across the now-buried structural high. Adjustment also probably occurred by faulting of Paleozoic rocks along the Tennessee River, where the eastern flank of the syncline was bent downward. As a result of structural movements during the Cretaceous and later periods, the old dome has been depressed beneath the Mississippi Embayment and now forms the Pascola arch connecting the Ozark and Nashville domes.
