About 47 percent of the streamflow is contributed from drainage in Arkansas, where an average of 550,000 acre-ft per year runs off from 755 square miles, 45.5 percent of the total drainage area.\r\nThe streamflow is highly variable. Twenty-two years of record for Illinois River near Tahlequah, Okla., shows a variation in runoff for the water year 1945 in comparison with 1954 in a ratio of almost 10 to 1. Runoff in 1927 may have exceeded that of 1945, according to records for White River at Beaver, Ark., the drainage basin just east of the Illinois River basin. Variation in daily discharge is suggested by a frequency analysis of low flows at the gaging station near Tahlequah, Okla. The mean flow at that site is 901 cfs (cubic feet per second), the median daily flow is 350 cfs, and the lowest 30-day mean flow in a year probably will be less than 130 cfs half of the time and less than 20 cfs every 10 years on the average.\r\n\r\nThe higher runoff tends to occur in the spring months, March to May, a 3-month period that, on the average, accounts for almost half of the annual flow. High runoff may occur during any month in the year, but in general, the streamflow is the lowest in the summer. The mean monthly flow of Illinois River near Tahlequah, Okla., for September is about 11 percent of that for May. Records show that there is flow throughout the year in Illinois River and its principal tributaries Osage Creek, Flint Creek and Barren Fork.\r\n\r\nThe high variability in streamflow in this region requires the development of storage by impoundment if maximum utilization of the available water supplies is to be attained. For example, a 120-day average low flow of 22 cfs occurred in 1954 at Illinois River near Tahlequah, Okla. To have maintained the flow at 350 cfs, the median daily flow during the 19-year base period, an impoundment at that site would have required a usable storage of 185,000 acre-ft to satisfy this demand during the drought years 1954-1956.\r\n\r\nThe surface waters of the Illinois River basin are excellent quality being suitable for municipal, agriculture and most industrial uses. The average concentration of the dissolved mineral content is about 105 ppm (parts per million) and the hardness about 85 ppm. The water is slightly alkaline, having a range of pH values from 7.2 to 8.0.\r\n\r\nThis report gives the estimated average discharge at gaging stations and approximations of average discharge at the State line for 3 sub-basins during the 19-year period October 1937 to September 1956, used as a base period in this report. Duration-of-flow data for various percentages of the time are shown for the period of observed record at the gaging stations; similar data are estimated for the selected base period. Storage requirements to sustain flow during the recent drought years are given for 3 stations. The streamflow records in the basin are presented on a monthly and annual basis through September 1957; provisional records for 3 stations are included through July 1958 for correlation purposes. Results of discharge measurements are given for miscellaneous sites where low-flow observations have been made.\r\n\r\n(available as photostat copy only)","language":"ENGLISH","doi":"10.3133/ofr5976","usgsCitation":"Laine, L., 1959, Surface waters of Illinois River basin in Arkansas and Oklahoma: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 59-76, 65 p., 13 figs., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr5976.","productDescription":"65 p., 13 figs.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":184636,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4aeee4b07f02db6912cd","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Laine, L.L.","contributorId":100464,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Laine","given":"L.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":254854,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":64315,"text":"gp205 - 1959 - Aeromagnetic map of the East Greenville quadrangle, Berks, Lehigh, and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2021-12-06T22:24:35.22011","indexId":"gp205","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1959","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":317,"text":"Geophysical Investigations Map","code":"GP","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"205","title":"Aeromagnetic map of the East Greenville quadrangle, Berks, Lehigh, and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania","docAbstract":"

The upper Killik-Itkillik map area is a 2,500 square mile segment of foothills along the north front of the Brooks Range on the Arctic Slope of Alaska. The rocks exposed in this area include eleven formations of sedimentary rocks, three types of surficial deposits, and one igneous rock unit. The oldest rocks are a 2,500-foot sequence of limestone which belongs to the Lisburne group (Mississippian). The Lisburne is succeeded by the Siksikpuk formation (Permian ?), a 300-foot unit of variegated shale and siltstone. The Shublik formation (Triassic), composed of 200 to 750 feet of fossiliferous dark shale, limestone, and chart, rests upon the Siksikpuk. Next above the Shublik is a sequence, more than 13,000 feet thick, of marine shale and graywacke which is subdivided into four formations: Tiglukpuk (Late Jurassic), Okpikruak (earliest Cretaceous), Fortress Mountain (late Early Cretaceous), and Torok (late Early Cretaceous). The youngest rocks comprise the Nanushuk group (late Early to Late Cretaceous) which consists of 5,000 feet of interfingering marine and non-marine clastic rocks and is subdivided into three formations: Tuktu, Chandler, and Ninuluk.

Small diabase sills, thought to be of latest Jurassic age, intrude the Tiglukpuk and older formations in the western part of the map area.

The rocks of the map area have been deformed by north-south tectonic forces in such a way that the upper part of the crust appears to have moved northward relative to deeper parts. Five east-trending zones of distinctive lithology and structure are recognizable: zone I, at the mountain front-massive strata of the Lisburne group sliced by southward dipping imbricate faults and locally thrust upon the younger strata of the dipping imbricate faults and locally thrust upon the younger strata of the foothills, zone II—relatively incompetent interfolded late Paleozoic and Mesozoic strata characterized by isoclinal folds and by small, closely spaced high-angle faults, zone III--chiefly rocks of the Fortress Mountain formation which, although folded and faulted, are not as complexly deformed as the rocks of zone II, zone IV - highly crenulated shale of the Torok formation, and zone V, at the northern edge of the map area--gently folded strata of the Nanushuk group.

A seismograph survey across zone IV suggests that, although the incompetent Torok formation is highly crenulated, the subsurface strata lie nearly flat.

The character of the subsurface structure in zones II and III is uncertain. However, it is believed that some of the high-angle faults in these two zones may flatten in the subsurface and merge into large sole faults beneath thrust plates of Paleozoic limestone. Such a fault pattern has been found in the foothills of the Alberta Rockies, where the surface structure, stratigraphy and geologic history are remarkably similar.

The depositional history of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic strata is divided into a shelf phase during late Paleozoic and Triassic and a geosynclinal phase during Late Jurassic and Cretaceous. The shelf sediments were chiefly marine carbonates and fine clastics, apparently derived largely from the north. The geosynclinal sediments consisted of marine graywacke \"flysch\" deposits overlain by littoral marine and non-marine coal-bearing \"molasse\" deposits and were derived mainly from the south. Several periods of emergence and erosion interrupted the shelf and geosynclinal deposition; evidently some folding and faulting occurred during deposition of the \"flysch\". The principal deformation is believed to have coincided with the Laramide orogeny in Late Cretaceous or Tertiary.

In the Pleistocene the Brooks Range was intensively glaciated, and at times of maximum advance, ice tongues along the major river valleys pushed northward into the foothills.

However, where it is fractured or where the upper part consists of pebbles of reworked siltstone, it will yield large quantities of water to wells. Many wells in the Pine Bluffs lowland, at the east end of the area, derive water from the Brule. The Arikaree formation, which consists of loosely to moderately cemented fine sand, will yield small quantities of water to wells but is not thick enough or permeable enough to supply sufficient water for irrigation. Only a few wells derive water from it. The Ogallala formation consists of lenticular beds of clay, silt, sand, and gravel which, in part, are cemented with calcium carbonate. Only the lower part of the formation is saturated. Nearly all the wells in the upland part of the area tap the Ogallala, but they supply water in amounts sufficient for domestic and stock use only. Two of the wells have a moderately large discharge, and other wells of comparable discharge probably could be drilled in those parts of the upland where the saturated part of the Ogallala is fairly thick. Most of the unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary age are very permeable and, where a sufficient thickness is saturated, will yield large quantities of water to wells. These deposits are a significant source of water supply in the southeastern part of the area. \r\n\r\nThe Chadron formation of Oligocene age, which underlies the Brule formation, is a medium- to coarse-grained sandstone where it crops out in the Islay lowland. No wells tap the Chadron, but it probably would yield small quantities of water to wells. It lies at a relatively shallow depth beneath most of the Islay lowland, near the west end of the area, and at a depth of about 800 feet beneath the Pine Bluffs lowland. In the latter area it probably is finer grained and may not be permeable enough to yield water to wells. All the ground water in the area is derived from precipitation. It is estimated that about 5 percent of the precipitation infiltrates directly to the zone of saturation. The remainder either is evaporated immediately; is retained by the soil, later to be evaporated or transpired; or is discharged by overland flow to the surface drainage courses. Most of the water that reaches the surface drainage courses eventually sinks to the zone of saturation or is evaporated. The slope of the water table and the movement of ground water are generally eastward. The depth to water ranges from less than 10 feet in parts of the valley to about 300 feet in the upland areas. In much of the Pine Bluffs lowland, the depth to water is less than 50 feet. Ground water not pumped from wells within the area is discharged by evapotranspiration where the water table is close to the land surface, by outflow into streams, or by underflow eastward beneath the State line. \r\n\r\nThe chemical quality of ground water from the principal sources is remarkably uniform, and the range in concentration of dissolved constituents is narrow. In general, the water is of the calcium bicarbonate type, is hard (hardness as CaC03 is as high as 246 ppm), and contains less than about 400 parts per million of dissolved solids, which is a moderate mineralization. Silica constitutes a large proportion of the dissolved solids. \r\n\r\nThe water is suitable for irrigation and, except for iron in water from some wells that tap the Ogallala formation, meets the drinking water standards of the U.S. Public Health Service for chemical constituents. Because the water is siliceous, alkaline, and hard, it is unsuitable for many industrial uses unless treated.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Govt. Print.

It includes small contiguous parts of the State of Mexico, in the northeastern corner, and of the State of Guerrero in the southwestern corner. Limiting geographic coordinates are 98 45\u0019 to 99 39\u001D west longitude and 18 18\u0019 to 19 08\u0019 north latitude, the northern boundary being only 35 km south of Mexico City, capital of the Republic. The geological map does not cover the entire rectangle outlined, but is irregular in form and measures roughly 4150 sq. km, three-quarters of it representing two0thirds of the State of Moreles and the rest lying outside the State.\r\n\r\nThe region ranges in altitude from 730 m above sea level at Iguala near the south edge of the map, to a general level of about 3000 m at the north edge, although individual peaks rise to 3900 m and Popocatepetl Volcano, a few kilometers east of the northeastern border of the map, rises to 5452 m above sea level. Annual rainfall ranges from a minimum of about 640 mm in the low country, to 1200 mm and more at altitudes above 2000 m. Most of it falls in summer between June and September. Winter frosts are rare below 1800 m. The climate is of savanna to steppe type; soils are thin and may be classified as belonging to the tachernoses group, with strong development of calcareous evaporates (caliche) at altitudes below 1800 m.\r\n\r\nThe northern border of the area forms the southern half of the late Pliocene to Recent Neo-volcanic Belt of basic volcanism that crosses Mexico in the direction N. 80 W., and thus has constructional topography. The rest of the area belongs to the Balsas Basin physiographic province, which is characterized by maturely dissected terrain tributary to the large Balsas River. All but the southwestern corner of the area drains southward via the Amacuzac River into the Mexcala-Balsas River, and thence westward into the Pacific Ocean. The southwestern corner drains directly into the Balsas River via the Iguala River. Local relief is of the order of 300 to 600 m. The mature topography was partly buried by late Pliocene alluvium in the central part of the area, owing largely to local volcanism. Dissolution of limestone, dolomite, and anhydrite of the Cretaceous formations has produced sinks and poljes, some of which contain small lakes. Other karst features are also common, such as caves, caverns, underground rivers, and surficial lapies or karren. Drainage blocking by lava and polje development in late Pleistocene and Recent time produced new alluvial flats in this otherwise dissected region.\r\n\r\nThe oldest rock unit in the region is the Texco schist series of late Paleozoic (?) age. It was folded, metamorphosed, foliated, intruded by dikes, and strongly eroded before the next unit, the Texco Viejo green volcanic series of Late Triassic (?) age, was deposited. Another period of metamorphism and erosion followed before the calcareous clastic sediments of the Upper Jurassic (?) Acahuizotla formation were laid down. The next unit consists of the partly phyllitic calcareous shale of the Acuitlapan formation, which is of Neocenian (?) age and rests with at least disconformity on the Acahuizotla formation. The overlying Aptian-Barresian Kochicalco formation of thin-bedded limestone appears to grade upward from the Acuitlapan formation, locally, but it seems to be unconformable elsewhere. All these units have small outcrops in the area mapped and were not studied in detail.\r\n\r\nWarping and erosion occurred before the overlying Morelos formation began to accumulate in early Albian time. The basal member is anhydrite in the eastern part of the area mapped, but limestone and dolomite were deposited elsewhere. The formation consists largely of shallow-water calcareous bank deposits, with a maximum thickness of about 900 m. Deposition ceased in early Cenomanian time and further warpi","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey],","doi":"10.3133/ofr5941","usgsCitation":"Fries, C.F., 1959, Geology of the State of Morelos and contiguous areas in south-central Mexico: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 59-41, xi, 210 p., 22 plates :ill., maps ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr5941.","productDescription":"xi, 210 p., 22 plates :ill., maps ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":147587,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1959/0041/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":42230,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1959/0041/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":42231,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1959/0041/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":42232,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1959/0041/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":42233,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1959/0041/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":42234,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1959/0041/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4acce4b07f02db67e421","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fries, Carl F.","contributorId":107299,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fries","given":"Carl","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":168226,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":61459,"text":"mf210 - 1959 - Preliminary geologic and structure map of the east-central part of the Cascade Springs quadrangle, Fall River County, South Dakota","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2018-12-14T11:15:19","indexId":"mf210","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1959","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":325,"text":"Miscellaneous Field Studies Map","code":"MF","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"210","title":"Preliminary geologic and structure map of the east-central part of the Cascade Springs quadrangle, Fall River County, South Dakota","docAbstract":"

A thick section of metamorphosed Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks is exposed in two roof pend- ants, one each in the Mount Morrison and Devils Postpile quadrangles in the eastern Sierra Nevada near Mammoth Lakes, Cali- fornia (Fig. 1). In the course of geologic mapping in these quadrangles by the U. S. Geo- logical Survey in co-operation with the California Division of Mines, fossils of Ordovician, Pennsylvanian, Permian(P), and Early Jurassic ages were collected from weakly metamorphosed parts of the pendants. Detailed map- ping in the Mount Morrison quadrangle has been completed by Rinehart and Ross, and a report on this area is in preparation. Similar mapping in the Devils Postpile quadrangle by Rinehart and Huber is in progress. In the part of the Devils Postpile quadrangle not yet covered in the present study, the contacts shown on the map (Fig. 1) are after Erwin (1934). Because diagnostic fossils are extremely rare in the metamorphic rocks of the Sierra Nevada, these fossils are considered important enough to merit this short note prior to completion of the detailed mapping in the Devils Postpile quadrangle and the publication of more comprehensive reports on the two quadrangles

Overthrust belt in geosynclinal area of western Wyoming in light of fluid-pressure hypothesis","docAbstract":"

Pressures of interstitial fluids significantly greater than the normal hydrostatic pressure are known in many parts of the world. Many occurrences are in thick sections of relatively young sediments; some are in areas that have been intensely deformed. Abnormal fluid pressures in the Gulf Coast region are associated with thick bodies of shale or mudstone, and with high hydraulic gradients across bedding. The rocks there have been buried rather rapidly and are evidently not yet fully compacted. The mechanism by which clay consolidates under pressure affords a quantitative relationship among the variables—depth, strength of clay, and fluid pressure—and this relationship indicates that the Gulf Coast examples agree fairly well with observations on depth and porosity in Paleozoic shales of Oklahoma and Tertiary shales of Venezuela. Critical data are lacking, but permeability clearly decreases tremendously as clay rocks are compacted. This decrease in permeability provides a self-sealing mechanism that greatly retards the escape of pore water from deeply buried clay rocks. The relationship between rate of compaction and the development of abnormal fluid pressures probably applies not only to clay rocks but also to carbonates and possibly to micaceous and chloritic metamorphic rocks. Conditions of geosynclinal deposition are, in general, those most favorable to the development of abnormal fluid pressures.

The hypothesis that large-scale overthrusting is facilitated by abnormal fluid pressures which, in turn, are associated with geosynclinal deposition is applied to the overthrust belt of western Wyoming and adjacent States. This is a long curving belt of several bedding-plane faults which have an aggregate horizontal displacement across the belt of 50 miles or more. The sedimentary rocks that make up the belt were evidently deposited in a major geosyncline bordered by uplands not far to the west. At any given locality, the rate of deposition of the sediments increased continuously until the beginning of intense deformation and overthrusting. The geosynclinal axis and the bordering uplands probably migrated slowly eastward across the belt. Several lines of indirect evidence suggest that abnormal fluid pressures developed in this region during final stages of rapid geosynclinal sinking and that thick plates of Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks sheared off from the underlying rocks and moved slowly eastward. Rate of movement probably was controlled by erosion of upfolds that arose at the front of each moving plate. The fundamental cause of the lateral stresses that propelled the overthrusts is not known, but it may be examined instructively in the light of the fluid-pressure hypothesis. The thrust sheets might, for example, have slid by simple gravitation down the western limb of the geosyncline on reasonable slopes and not improbable fluid pressure-overburden ratios. Such large-scale slumping of thrust sheets, however, seems to require gaps at the rear of the thrust sheets. The long intermontane valleys of Idaho and Utah may possibly have originated as such gaps or rifts, but no proof has yet been recognized that they were formed in this manner. An alternative possibility, regional compression, requires concentration of the lateral stresses within the upper few miles of the earth's crust; in this general region emplacement of the Idaho batholith seems the most likely source of such superficially concentrated stresses. However, this batholith is so far from the front edge of the overthrust belt that it would require extremely high fluid pressure-overburden ratios over a wide area. Perhaps some combination of the two forces—pushing wide thrust plates down a gentle slope—is the most likely explanation.

Reconnaissance in the White Canyon district, San Juan County, Utah, indicates that rocks of the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation of Triassic age were deposited in that district in two different channel systems; sediments deposited in channels of one system were derived from a source to the east and sediments of the other from a source to the south. The channel system containing sediments derived from the east, the Elk Ridge-White C anyon channel system, was apparently formed by a large braided stream that flowed westward from a source in granitic and metamorphic terrane of the ancestral Uncompahgre highland.

All known uranium deposits of any consequence in the White Canyon district are confined to the Shinarump member deposited in the Elk Ridge-White Canyon channel system. The nature of the channels and the lithologic characteristics of the rocks filling this system of channels combine to form a much more favorable environment for the localization of uranium deposits than do the channels formed and the rocks deposited by northward-flowing streams.

Recognition of channel systems in the White Canyon district suggests that channel systems may be recognized elsewhere in the Shinarump member, and that the Shinarump member on the Colorado Plateau may be composed of rocks deposited in many coalescing channel systems. In addition, study in the White Canyon district indicates that rocks deposited in some of these channel systems are more favorable hosts for uranium deposits than the rocks deposited in others. Recognition and delineation of these ancient channel systems may be-of help in making regional appraisals of ore potential and in the search for new mining districts.

Turtlebacks are smooth, curved surfaces, which form north-northwestward-plunging elongate domes on the east side of Death Valley. These surfaces are roughly parallel to bedding or foliation of anticlines in Precambrian schist, gneiss, and marble. Late Cenozoic fan and playa deposits are faulted over these surfaces along the turtleback faults. Previously the turtleback faults have been interpreted as part of a thrust fault, perhaps the Amargosa thrust fault, that was arched after thrusting. They are interpreted here as individual normal faults younger than the thrust fault and, contrary to previous interpretations, much younger than the formation of the anticlines in the Precambrian rocks. The tectonic history of this unusual area is here considered to include the following events: (1) Precambrian folding of the Precambrian rocks; (2) post-Paleozoic and pre-middle(?) Tertiary Amargosa thrusting; (3) uplift and erosion of Paleozoic strata and the Amargosa thrust fault, down to the folded Precambrian rocks in the Black Mountains block; (4) Middle (?) Tertiary rhyolite extrusions and the accumulation of later Tertiary fan and playa deposits; (5) Pliocene or Pleistocene uplift of the Black Mountains relative to Death Valley, along the Black Mountains fault system, with consequent removal of support for the Tertiary deposits on the turtleback surfaces, and the development of the turtleback faults by normal faulting, or sliding, of the Tertiary sedimentary rocks down the turtleback surfaces toward Death Valley; and, (6) Pleistocene to Recent renewal of movement on the Black Mountains fault system.

A study of Imuruk Lake, a large, shallow lake in north-central Seward Peninsula, Alaska, illuminates the climatic history of northwestern Alaska and the tectonic history of central Seward Peninsula during Pleistocene and Recent time. Special interest attaches to the older lake sediments, because they contain evidence concerning the climate, fauna, and flora that existed in the vicinity of Bering Strait at a time when the Bering land bridge was open and when animal and plant populations were being exchanged between the eastern and western hemispheres.

The lake is 8 miles long and less than 10 feet deep; bottom sediments consisting of reworked wind-blown silt bury a rolling bedrock topography of much greater relief. Analysis of the hydrologic regime indicates that much of the water draining into the lake is lost by evaporation; smaller quantities are lost by discharge through the outlet, the Kugruk River, and by leakage into the lava flows along the lake shore. Changes in the duration and temperature of the summer ice-free season would result in changes in the amount of water lost by evaporation and thus in appreciable changes in lake level.

Imuruk Lake occupies an initial low area on basaltic lava flows of Quaternary age, but the initial low area has been modified by faulting and now lies in a poorly defined graben. Topographic evidence confirmed by study of lacustrine terraces indicates that until recently Imuruk Lake drained westward into the Noxapaga River instead of eastward into the Kugruk River. A history of repeated warping of the lake basin, on which is superimposed a history of oscillating lake level which is due to changes in climate, is recorded by three systems of abandoned shore-line features found along the shores: a warped shore cliff of probable Illinoian age, a double set of warped terraces of probable Wisconsin age, and a low, horizontal terrace of Recent age. Bones of bison, horse, and mammoth were found in peaty sediments containing many twigs but no large wood; their presence indicates that these mammals, at least, were capable of surviving in a tundra environment during cold stages of the Pleistocene epoch and at a time when the Bering land bridge was in existence nearby.

The sediments filling the deeper parts of the bedrock basin of Imuruk Lake probably contain an uninterrupted pollen record that reflects vegetation changes in central Seward Peninsula beginning in middle Illinoian time and terminating a few thousand years ago. Core drilling and pollen analysis of these sediments would greatly amplify our understanding of late Pleistocene events in the vicinity of the Bering land bridge.

The measurement program was begun on its present scale in the latter part of 1948 by the U. S. Geological Survey at the request of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation and has been continued under a cooperative agreement with the Santa Barbara County Water Agency since July 1, 1949, under which each agency pays half the cost of the investigation.

The purpose of the program is to obtain factual data to assist in determining what effect, if any, the inflow of ground water into Tecolote Tunnel will have on surface-water resources in the vicinity of the tunnel. The area involved in the program, shown on plate 1, was made large enough to include a number of springs and streams believed to be outside the zone of influence of the tunnel. Tecolote Tunnel, completed in March 1956, was built by the Bureau of Reclamation for the purpose of conveying water from Cachuma Reservoir to the city of Santa Barbara and adjacent coastal communities. The alinement of the tunnel is essentially north and south through the center of a region that extends from the Painted Cave area on the east to Refugio Pass on the west and from the Santa Ynez River on the north to the Pacific Ocean on the south. Storage, in Cachuma Reservoir began November 16, 1952. Roads within the area covered by Cachuma Reservoir have been relocated since plate 1 was prepared.

The purpose of this progress report is to make available the factual data obtained from July 1956 to June 1958.

The Riverton irrigation project area is in the northwestern part of the Wind River basin in west-central Wyoming. Because the annual precipitation is only about 9 inches, agriculture, which is the principal occupation in the area, is dependent upon irrigation. Irrigation by surface-water diversion was begum is 1906; water is now supplied to 77,716 acres and irrigation has been proposed for an additional 31,344 acres.

This study of the geology and ground-water resources of the Riverton irrigation project, of adjacent irrigated land, and of nearby land proposed for irrigation was begun during the summer of 1948 and was completed in 1951. The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the ground-water resources of the area and to study the factors that should be considered in the solution of drainage and erosional problems within the area.

The Riverton irrigation project area is characterized by flat to gently sloping stream terraces, which are flanked by a combination of badlands, pediment slopes, and broad valleys. These features were formed by long-continued erosion in an arid climate of the essentially horizontal, poorly consolidated beds of the Wind River formation. The principal streams of the area flow south-eastward. Wind River and Fivemile Creek are perennial streams and the others are intermittent. Ground-water discharge and irrigation return flow have created a major problem in erosion control along Fivemile Creek. Similar conditions might develop along Muddy and lower Cottonwood Creeks when land in their drainage basins is irrigated.

The bedrock exposed in the area ranges in age from Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary (middle Eocene). The Wind River formation of early and middle Eocene age forms the uppermost bedrock formation in the greater part of the area. Unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary age, which consist of terrace gravel, colluvium, eolian sand and silt. and alluvium, mantle the Wind River formation in much of the area.

In the irrigated parts of the project, water from domestic use is obtained chiefly from the sandstone beds of the Wind River formation although some is obtained from the alluvium underlying the bottom land and from the unconsolidated deposits underlying the lower terraces along the Wind River. Although adequate quantities if water for domestic use are available from the Wind River formation, there quantities are not considered to be large enough to warrant pumping of ground water for irrigation. Only a few wells are in the nonirrigated part of the area. When this new land is irrigated, a body of ground water will gradually form in the terrace deposits and the alluvial and colluvial-alluvial deposits. Eventually, the terrace deposits may yield adequate quantities of water for domestic and stock use, but only locally are the alluvial and colluvial-alluvial deposits likely to become suitable aquifers.

In the Riverton irrigation project area, ground water occurs under water-table conditions near the surface and under artesian conditions in certain strata at both shallow and greater depths. Irrigation is the principal source of recharge to the shallow aquifers; the water level in wells that tap these aquifers fluctuates with irrigation. The depth to water in the shallow wells ranges from less than 1 foot to about 30 feet below the land surface, depending on the season of the year and on the length of time the land has been irrigated. The water level in the wells that tap the deep confined aquifers , which receive recharge indirectly from surface sources, fluctuates only slightly because the recharge and discharge are more constant. In most places the depth to water in wells penetrating the deep confined aquifers is mush greater than that in shallow wells. but in certain low areas water from the deep aquifers flows at the surface from wells. Ground water moves from the area of recharge in the direction of the hydraulic gradient and is discharges either by evapotranspiration; by inflow into streams, drains, or lakes; by pumping or flow of wells; or by flow of springs.

Waterlogging and the associated development of saline soils are common in parts of the Riverton irrigation project and adjacent irrigated land. The waterlogging is in part the result of the infiltration of irrigation water in excess of the capacity of the aquifers to store and transmit this added recharge. The solution of the drainage problems involves the consideration of a number of factors, some of which are inadequately known in some parts of the area and require further investigation before fully effective drainage measures can be designed.

The results of an aquifer test to determine the hydrologic characteristics of the Wind River formation at Riverton indicate a transmissibility of 10,000 gallons per day per foot (10,000 gpd per ft) and a storage coefficient of 2 x 10-4. The results of the test provide a part of the necessary foundation for the solution of present and future water-supply problems at Riverton and throughout the project area.

Water from shallow aquifers in irrigated tracts in the Riverton irrigation project area generally contains large amounts of dissolved solids that were leached from the soil and rocks by infiltrating irrigation water. However, wells tapping beds that receive considerable recharge from influent canal and drain seepage yield water of relatively low mineralizatoin. Dilute water is obtained also from some shallow wells in the alluvial bottom lands and on low stream terraces that border the Wind Rover. Water from deep aquifers generally is more dilute than that from shallow aquifers. However, ground water from the deep aquifers, unmixed with irrigation water, generally has a percent sodium greater than 80.

Analyses of salt crusts on the ground surface in low areas that are affected by effluent seepage and a high water table show predominance of sodium sulfate salinity, and from determinations of the water-soluble and acid-soluble substances in several samples of soil and shale it is apparent that harmful concentrations of salts are being deposited in poorly drained area. Although most of the soul in the Midvale irrigation district is of the normal arid type, analyses of soil samples show that saline, nonsaline alkaline, and saline alkaline types also are present.

A complete program of stream reclamation was developed and applied on Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A salt-resistivity technique was used to estimate the dilution and velocity of a toxicant in running water. Streamside toxicity trials on resident fishes established minimal, effective concentrations of the rotenone material. The successful removals of undesirable fish were followed by restocking with selected strains of eastern brook trout and rainbow trout. Post-reclamation observations demonstrated enhanced survival, growth, reproduction, and catch of trout. Factors which might limit the effectiveness of stream reclamation programs ar e discussed.

It is hunted extensively in many sections of the United States and in some sections of Canada, the West Indies, and Mexico....The trends in geographic variation of Mourning Doves are from dark coloration in the east to pale coloration in the west and from shorter wing length in tropical areas to longer in the temperate region. More rusty underparts are associated with birds of the West Indies, and extremely saturated coloration and relatively large bills and feet have been developed by the population on Clarion Island off the western coast of Mexico. The combinations of geographic variation result in the recognition of five geographic races, two of which breed on the mainland of North America. The race carolinensis of eastern United States can be distinguished from the western race, marginella, by the color of the wings alone, which makes possible the recognition of these racial components from the wings of doves taken from hunters? bags.....Taking Ridgway?s account in ?Birds of North and Middle America? as a basis, discrepancies in the descriptions of sex and racial characters are pointed out. Two races recognized by Ridgway and one suggested as possibly distinct were not substantiated. The occurrence of dark and pale types among the West Indian populations are considered of possible racial significance, but sufficient breeding material is lacking to study the problem satisfactorily.....The allocation of type specimens and names to the various recognizable races which appears in the most recent literature is considered satisfactory. The ecological boundaries between tropical and temperate life zones and between the western grasslands and eastern deciduous forest zones, generally speaking, separate distinct races from each other.....There is an extensive postbreeding wandering of birds in all directions, particularly northward, and there is an extensive mingling of racial types during migration. Concentrations of fall migrants occur in certain areas in the southwestern states and both east and west of the Gulf of Mexico.","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.2307/1365268","usgsCitation":"Aldrich, J., and Duvall, A., 1958, Distribution and migration of races of the mourning dove: Condor, v. 60, no. 2, p. 108-128, https://doi.org/10.2307/1365268.","productDescription":"21 p.","startPage":"108","endPage":"128","numberOfPages":"21","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":503119,"rank":2,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/condor/vol60/iss2/4","text":"External Repository"},{"id":198381,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"60","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a61e4b07f02db635dc0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Aldrich, J.W.","contributorId":107800,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aldrich","given":"J.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":332583,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Duvall, A.J.","contributorId":59143,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Duvall","given":"A.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":332582,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":2371,"text":"wsp1463 - 1958 - Records of springs in the Snake River valley, Jerome and Gooding Counties, Idaho, 1899-1947","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2013-11-22T12:49:20","indexId":"wsp1463","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T07:00:00","publicationYear":"1958","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":341,"text":"Water Supply Paper","code":"WSP","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"1463","title":"Records of springs in the Snake River valley, Jerome and Gooding Counties, Idaho, 1899-1947","docAbstract":"Many springs and seeps discharge water from the north wall of the valley of\nthe Snake River between Milner and Bliss, Idaho. These are fed by a large\nground-water body lying east and north of the river, beneath the Snake River\nPlain. Much ground water is pumped on the plain, many irrigation wells having\nbeen drilled since 1946. Heavy withdrawal of ground water from wells may\nalter the discharge rates and regimens of the springs and may affect downstream\nflow of the river. For that reason, the historic record of discharge from\nthe springs is an important part of the basis on which hydrologic changes can be\ndetermined. The records also would facilitate appraisal of the total groundwater\nresources of the Snake River Plain.\nThis report brings together in a single volume all obtainable records for the\nperiod 1899-1947. The report also includes descriptive data and a brief history\nof work done.\nThe springs occur in a 40-mile reach of the valley of the Snake River between\nMilner Dam and Bliss. Most are on the north side of the river but a few are\non the south.\nThe earliest measurements of record were made by F. S. Shirley and N. S. Dils,\nof the U. S. Geological Survey, in 1899. The next were by J. D. Stannard for\nthe Idaho State Engineer and by Dils in 1902. Few measurements were made\nfrom 1903 to 1916. Somewhat more systematic measurements were made by\nthe Geological Survey and by local agencies in 1917-20, 1923-25, and 1931, and\nat several intervals thereafter. In 1950 the Geological Survey began continuous,\nsystematic measurements by installing and operating gaging stations on four\nrepresentative springs and by making yearly direct measurements of all large\nsprings. The recent records are not included in this report; they have been\npublished yearly in a series of reports on stream discharge.\nThe report includes lists of all published sources from which data were compiled,\nand cites many unpublished sources. The principal workers and agencies\nthat have obtained records are listed also.\nThe quality and accuracy of the compiled records, as might be expected, are\nnot uniform, as the records were collected under varying circumstances, by many\nindividuals, and according to changing or differing standards. The continuity is\ngenerally poor. Nevertheless, the compilation represents the base from which\nfurther work must start and is an extremely valuable record. It represents about\n30 large springs and groups of springs, having discharge rates ranging from a\nfraction of a cubic foot per second to well over 1,000 cfs. Many smaller springs\nand seeps never have been measured. The fluctuation indexes for individual springs or groups range from 2 to 41\npercent. The fluctuation index is the mean deviation of the discharge rate from\nthe arithmetic mean, expressed as a percentage of the arithmetic mean. Although\nto some extent the indexes are a measure of the consistency of the record,\nthey also seem to reflect actual differences in range of discharge, and they indicate\nthat springs upstream in the Snake River valley fluctuate through a wider range\nthan do those downstream. The fluctuations are rather slow, which reflects the\nequalizing influence of the large ground-water reservoir that supplies the springs.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Government Printing Office","publisherLocation":"Washington D.C.","doi":"10.3133/wsp1463","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Reclamation","usgsCitation":"Nace, R.L., Van’t Hul, A., and McQueen, I., 1958, Records of springs in the Snake River valley, Jerome and Gooding Counties, Idaho, 1899-1947: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1463, Report: v, 62 p.
