The Fish Lake Plateau, nearly centrally located among the High Plateaus of Utah, exhibits glacial and other geomorphic features of regional significance. The plateau is divided into two areas by Fish Lake and the wide valley of Sevenmile Creek. The Fish Lake trough is a structural basin; Sevenmile Valley may be largely erosional. Volcanic rocks of Tertiary age underlie most of the plateau; early Tertiary sedimentary rocks are also present. Glaciated canyons with well-developed cirques are especially prominent along the east-facing sides of the Fish Lake trough and Sevenmile Valley. Ice-eroded features occur over much of the plateau top. Near the mouths of several of the glaciated canyons are two conspicuous sets of moraines. The older set is more extensive and less rugged than the younger and occurs at somewhat lower elevations. Two substages of glaciation thus recognized are correlated with Wisconsin I and II of Ray; probable correlatives of Wisconsin III, IV, and V are represented by moraines which are younger than these two sets. Fish Lake drains north into Fremont River, a tributary of the Colorado River. An abandoned southern outlet and waterfall, the latter at a higher elevation than the present elevation of the original northern bedrock divide, indicate drainage reversal. Evidence is presented which suggests that this reversal was pre-glacial and probably the result of fault-block tilting.

While the inter-mound furrow networks characteristic of pimpled plains in the mid-continent region may owe their origin to former frigid climatic conditions, one of a number of alternative possibilities is that the peculiar configuration of these surfaces, as exemplified in eastern Oklahoma, has resulted from erosion of systems of giant soil polygons caused by desiccation. The time of origin of the pimpled plains of eastern Oklahoma is believed to have been not earlier than late Pleistocene.

Approximately 75 square miles have been mapped by the Geological Survey on a scale of 1 inch equals 1 mile, using a combined aerial photography-plane table method. Structure contours were drawn on top of the Organ Rock member of the Cutler formation. Parts of the Gonway and North Point claims, 1/4 mile east of the Happy Jack mine, were mapped in detail. The principal objectives of the investigations were: (1) to establish ore guides; (2) to select areas favorable for exploration; and (3) to map the general geology and to determine the regional relationships of the uranium deposits. The White Canyon area is comprised of sedimentary rocks of Carboniferous to Jurassic age, more than 2,000 feet thick, having a regional dip of 1° to 2° SW. The nearest igneous rocks are in the Henry Mountains about 7 miles west of the northern part of the area; The Shinarump conglomerate of the late Triassic age, the principal ore horizon in the White Canyon area, consists of lenticular beds of sandstone, conglomeratic sandstone, conglomerate, clay, and siltstone. The Shinarump conglomerate, absent in places, is as much as 75 feet thick. The sandstones locally contain molds of logs and fragments of altered volcanic ash. Some of the logs have been replaced by copper and uranium minerals and iron oxides. The clay and siltstone underlie and are interbedded with the sandstone, and are most common in channels that cut into the underlying Moenkopi formation. The Shinarump conglomerate contains reworked Moenkopi siltstone fragments, clay balls, carbonized wood, and pebbles of quarts, quartzite, and chert. Jointing is prominent in the Western part of the mapped area. The three most prominent joint trends are due east, N. 65°-75° W., and N. 65°-75° E. All joints have vertical dips. The red beds are bleached along some joints, especially those that trend N. 65°-75° W. All uranium ore produced has been from the lower part of the Shinarump conglomerate, where it commonly occurs with copper as disseminations and fracture coatings in sandstone. Uranium and copper minerals also occur in low-grade disseminated deposits in the lower Chinle and in the Moenkopi formation and in veins cutting these formations. Although some uranium deposits occur in Chinarump channels and scours, copper and uranium minerals along fractures suggest that channel control may be secondary. Logs and clay balls apparently have exerted some chemical influences for deposition. The uranium occurs as the oxide in some deposits, and as secondary hydrous sulfates, phosphates, oxides, and silicates in these and several other deposits. Charcoal, iron and manganese oxides, and veinlets of hydrocarbon are abnormally radioactive in most of the deposits. Base-metal sulfides are commonly found inside the oxidized zone. Secondary copper minerals include the hydrous sulfates and carbonate. Gangue minerals include quarts, clay minerals, and manganese oxides, dickite (?), calcite, gypsum, pyrite, and chalcedony (?). Principal wall-rock alteration appears to have been silicification, clay alteration, and bleaching. Most of the shipped ore has contained more than 0.3 percent uranium. The ore also contains copper, commonly in grades lower than 1.0 percent. Criteria believed to be most useful for prospecting for concealed uranium deposits are (1) visible uranium minerals; (2) sulfide minerals; (3) secondary copper minerals; (4) dickite (?); (5) hydrocarbons; and (6) bleaching and alteration of the Moenkopi formation.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/tem325","collaboration":"This report concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission","usgsCitation":"Benson, W.E., Trites, A.F., Beroni, E.P., and Feeger, J.A., 1952, Preliminary report on the White Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah: U.S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Memorandum 325, Report: 27 p.; 2 Plates: 20.77 x 16.37 inches and 26.04 x 30.11 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/tem325.","productDescription":"Report: 27 p.; 2 Plates: 20.77 x 16.37 inches and 26.04 x 30.11 inches","numberOfPages":"27","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":277558,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":283096,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/report.pdf"},{"id":283094,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/plate-2.pdf"},{"id":283095,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/plate-3.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Utah","county":"San Juan County","otherGeospatial":"White Canyon","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -110.5,37.25 ], [ -110.5,38.0 ], [ -109.75,38.0 ], [ -109.75,37.25 ], [ -110.5,37.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"523433efe4b0b9e9b3336dad","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Benson, William E.","contributorId":58931,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Benson","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":483909,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Trites, Albert F.

Most of the deposits are on\nthe west side of the river.\nSix properties of areas were mapped, sampled, and tested radiometrically.\nThese properties are: the Far West Willys group, North-west Willys group, West Willys group, Silver Pick property, Grant View hot springs, and the Boerlin ranch radioactive area.\nThe East Walker River area is underlain by coarse-grained porphyritic granite. Cutting the granite are numerous aplite dikes and a few perthite-quartz pegmatites. Faulting was noted in a few places.\nRadioactive material has been found in the East Walker River area\nin deposits of four types: (1) quartz veins carrying small amounts\nof copper, lead, and silver minerals; (2) partly altered granite adjacent to quartz veins; (3) gouge zones, and (4) hot springs. The\nquartz vein deposits are the most abundant. The uranium minerals\npitchblende and kasolite occur in the quartz veins, in aggregates and\nstreaks associated with copper and silver minerals, galena, and barite.\nIn many quartz veins abnormal radioactivity is absent or only locally\npresent.

The area is equidistant from mills at Monticello, Utah, and Naturita, Colo. Both mills are reached by about 45 miles of all-weather roads.
\nAbout 2,700 tons of carnotite ore was produced from the area between 1921 and 1943 (tons used in this report are short tons). This ore had an estimated average grade of 0.25 percent U30g and 1.7 percent V205.
\nThe ore deposits are in the top sandstone stratum of the Salt Wash sandstone member of the Tipper Jurassic Morrison formation. The principal ore-bearing minerals, which mainly impregnate the sandstone, consist of uranium-bearing carnotite and a micaceous vanadium-bearing mineral called “roscoelite.\" The deposits are mostly in small podlike masses called \"rolls.\" The size of the rolls ranges from less than 50 to more than 1,500 tons each. The long axes of the rolls have a dominant northeasterly to easterly trend.
\nExploration by the Geological Survey was done on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission to test unexplored ground for new deposits of carnotite ore and to gain a better appraisal of the reserves in the area. From 1948 to 1950, 186 diamond-drill holes were completed for a total of 14,577 feet.
\nThe areas of favorable sandstone were found and defined by holes drilled 300 to 500 feet apart. Altered mudstone, carbonaceous material in the sandstone, and color of the sandstone were used to determine the favorability of the sandstone. Within areas containing favorable sandstone holes were drilled on 100- to 150-foot centers to find deposits. Where deposits were found more than 20 feet below the surface, they were roughly outlined by holes drilled on 50- to 75- foot centers. Deposits discovered within 20 feet of the surface were not outlined.
\nReserves in deposits found by the drilling are classed as indicated and inferred, whereas those reserves that are predicted solely on geologic evidence are classed as potential. Indicated reserves computed at the highest thickness and grade cut-offs (1 foot or more thick and 0.10 percent U3O8 or .10 percent V205) total 5,000 tons, averaging 0.19 percent U308 and 1.6 percent V205. Inferred reserves computed at the same cut-offs total 3,500 tons, averaging .22 percent U308 and 1.7 percent V205. Both the indicated and inferred reserves, as well as the pounds of contained U3O8and V205, are summarized in table 1. Potential reserves are predicted to total about 1,500 tons, averaging about 0.20 percent U3O8 and 1.6 percent V205. Most of the potential reserves are expected to be in small scattered deposits within 20 feet of the surface.
\nNo additional diamond drilling by the Geological Survey is planned in the Upper group area. Several specific localities, principally in the central part of the area, are recommended for further exploration by jackhammer and wagon drilling by lessees and operators.

Detailed geologic mapping and stratigraphic studies were supplemented by core drilling. The core drilling tested the thickness and physical character of the individual coal beds and aided in determining the continuity of the beds. It is hoped that the information on coal resources thus obtained will provide basic data useful in the development and utilization of the coal, which furnished one of the natural bases for the potential industrial growth of this region. Exploratory drilling for oil and gas has been thus far unsuccessful and suggests that geological conditions in the area mapped are not favorable for the accumulation of petroleum; the geologic information obtained during this investigation may, however, be helpful in delimiting areas in other parts of western Washington that may be favorable for exploratory drilling.

This report gives a summarized description of the public water supplies in a region comprising 81 counties of western Texas and lying generally west of the hundredth meridian. It is the fourth and last of this series of reports concerning the public water supplies of the State. It gives the available data for each of 142 communities, as follows: The population of the community; the name of the official from whom the information was obtained; the ownership of the waterworks, whether private or municipal; the source of supply, whether ground water or surface water; the amount of water consumed; the facilities for storage; the number of customers served; the character of the chemical and sanitary treatment of the water, if any; and the chemical analyses of the water. Where ground water is used the following also are given. Records of wells, including drillers' logs; character of the pumping equipment; and yield of the wells and water-level records where they are available. Of the 142 public supplies, 133 are obtained from ground water, 5 from surface water, and 4 from a combination of both. The total amount of water . used for public supply in the region averages about 78,000,000 gallons a day. Of this about 61,000,000 gallons a day is ground water and about 17,000,000 gallons a day is surface water. The ground-water resources of the region from which public water supplies are drawn are in rocks that range in age from Permian to Quaternary. The Ogallala formation of Tertiary age (Pliocene), which covers about 35,000 square miles of the High Plains in Texas, is the most important ground-water reservoir in the region. The formation furnishes water for 78 public supplies and for irrigating about 1,000,000 acres of land. The amount of water used for irrigating amounted to about 1,000,000 acre-feet in 1948. The Trinity and Fredericksburg groups of Lower Cretaceous age supply ground water in the western part of the Edwards Plateau, which constitutes an area of more than 22,000 square miles. These formations furnish small to large supplies to 20 municipalities. Sands of the Dockum group of Triassic refurnish meager to moderate supplies of water for 10 municipalities in areas east of the southern part of the High Plains and in the northern Pecos Valley in Texas. Local alluvial, bolson, or volcanic deposits furnish ground water in small to large amounts in scattered localities in the remainder of the region. The Permian rocks are of little importance as a source of ground water for public supply, owing to the highly mineralized water in them. The results of the chemical analyses of 206 samples of water obtained from the public supplies of the region are given in this report. The analyses are reported in parts per million and in equivalents per million for those ions entering into ionic balance. Of the samples analyzed 57 percent contained silica in excess of 20 parts per million; about 9 percent contained iron in excess of 0.3 part per million; 78 percent had hardness in excess of 200 parts per million; about 18 percent contained sulfate in excess of 250 parts per million; 10 percent contained chloride in excess of 250 parts per million; 3 percent contained nitrate in excess of 20 parts per million; 37 percent contained fluoride in excess of 2 parts per million; and 12 percent contained dissolved solids in excess of 1,000 parts per million.

It emerges from the mountains 10 miles east of Anchorage and above that point has a drainage area of 90 square miles. Stream flow records for the 4 year period, 1947 through 1950, show a mean flow of 156 second-feet with a variation from 114 second-feet for 1950 to 198 second-feet for 1949. The monthly distribution of flow has considerable variation with about one-fifth of the runoff in the 6 month period December to May, and about one-half the runoff in the 3 month period, June, July, and August. Storage is therefore required for regulation and most effective use of the streamflow. There is no natural storage in the basin. Storage possibilities and power developments are not favorable. Two possible sites are considered in this report, one at mile 1.0 and one at mile 3.5. Development at the former site would produce 3200 and 2300 KW for 50 percent and 90 percent of the time while development at the latter would produce 5000 and 4400 KW for 50 percent and 90 percent of the time.
Ship Creek is not a glacier fed stream and thus is free from glacial silt and offers a good source of municipal and industrial water supply. The natural flow is sufficient to supply present demands and it is believed that with the development of storage demands created by any foreseeable expansion of Anchorage and the surrounding area can readily be met.

The purpose of the study was to obtain a general evaluation of ground-water recharge, discharge, and storage in the area now irrigated and in the adjacent areas where additional lands are to be irrigated.
Much of the area covered by this report consists of flat to gently sloping stream terraces and alluvial-bottoms along Nowood, Paintrock, and Medicine Lodge Creeks. The stream-terrace materials consist of fluviatile sand, clay, and gravel. The alluvium is very fine grained and in general has low permeability. The materials underlying the stream terraces and the bottomlands became progressively finer grained and less permeable downstream.
The bedrock formations underlying the area studied range from the Madison limestone of Mississippian age to the Fort Union formation of Paleocene age. Beds have been folded into several prominent structures which trend northwest-southeast across the area. Several of the formations exposed in the area serve as aquifers and yield water to domestic and stock wells. The most important bedrock aquifers are the Fort Union, Lance, Meeteetee, Mesaverde, Frontier, Cloverly and Morrison formations , the Tensleep sandstone, the Amsden formation, and the Madison limestone. More than 7,000 feet of strata are exposed in the area, the older beds being exposed on the western flank of the Big Horn Range near the eastern end of the area.
The quality of the water in the project ranges within wide limits. The concentration of dissolved solids in seven samples of ground water ranges from 279 parts per million for a water in the Tensleep sandstone to 4,590 parts per million for a water in the Morrison formation. The hardness as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ranges from 13 to 1,680 parts per million. Limited data on the quality of water in Nowood and Paintrock Creeks indicate that these waters are suitable for irrigation. The water in Paintrock Creek near Tensleep is higher in mineral content and hardness than the water upstream at Hyattville as a result of return flow of the irrigation water that is applied to farm lands above Tensleep.

Nineteen claims owned by Jack and Toni Crane were examined, sampled, and tested radiometrically for uranium. Numerous discontinuous layers of opal are interbedded with a gently-dipping series of vitric tuff and ash which is at least 300 ft thick. The tuff and ash are capped by a dark, vesicular basalt in the eastern part of the area and by a thin layer of terrace qravels in the area along the west side of Virgin Valley. Silicification of the ash and tuff has produced a rock that ranges from partly opalized rock that resembles silicified shale to completely altered rock that is entirely translucent, and consists of massive, brown and pale-green opal. Carnotite, the only identified uranium mineral, occurs as fracture coatings or fine layers in the opal; in places, no uranium minerals are visible in the radioactive opal. The opal layers are irregular in extent and thickness. The exposed length of the layers ranges from 8 to 1, 200 ft or more, and the thickness of the layers ranges from 0. 1 to 3. 9 ft. The uranium content of each opal layer, and of different parts of the same layer, differs widely. On the east side of Virgin Valley four of the seven observed opal layers, nos. 3, 4, 5, and 7, are more radioactive than the average; and the uranium content ranges from 0. 002 to 0. 12 percent. Two samples, taken 5 ft apart across opal layer no. 7, contained 0. 003 and 0. -049 percent uranium. On the west side of the valley only four of the fifteen observed opal layers, nos; 9, , 10, 14, and 15, are more radioactive than the average; and the uranium content ranges from 0. 004 to 0. 047 percent. Material of the highest grade was found in a small discontinuous layer of pale-green opal (no. 4) on the east side of Virgin Valley. The grade of this layer ranged from 0. 027 to 0. 12 percent uranium.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir142","collaboration":"This report concerns work done on behalf of the U.

Barnes' report covers investigations of coal-bearing rocks of the Kenai formation of Tertiary age in a coastal belt between Bluff Point, 1-1/2 miles west of Homer, and the head of Kachemak Bay. Cobb's report deals with similar rocks exposed along the shore between Bluff Point and Deep Creek. The present report covers an extension of this work from Deep Creek along the east shore of Cook Inlet to the most northerly exposures of rocks of the Kenai formation in the beach bluffs about 6 miles south of the mouth of the Kasilof River, Outcrops of coal-bearing rocks along the Storling Highway and the lower reaches of the Ninilchik River also were investigated. The writer, assisted by F.J. Markewicz, carried on the field work which is the basis for this report between June 1 and August 12, 1950. Field work comprised measurement of stratigraphic sections, tracing of coal beds, geologic mapping along the shorn of Cook Inlet, the lower part of the Ninilchik River, and the Sterling Highway, and sampling of coal beds.

The deposits chosen for drilling were two of the more promising talc deposits associated with ultramafic rocks of several that had been mapped earlier by the Geological Survey, but could not be evaluated accurately because critical data were lacking that could be obtained only by sub-surface exploration.
The Rousseau talc prospect is in Cambridge township, Lamoille County, Vermont. Surface rights are owned by L. and N. N. Porter; mineral rights are owned by Eastern Magnesia Talc Co. Three drill holes encountered no talc; the other five penetrated from 2 to 110 feet of talc ore. The deposit lies on the west limb of the Green Mountain anticlinorium. The country rock consists of quartz-chlorite-sericite schist and chlorite-albite schist. The schistosity strikes slightly west of north and dips 20° - 40° to the west. The talc deposit is roughly lenticular, and although generally concordant in detail with the schistosity of the country rock, is slightly cross-cutting in overall relationship. The entire deposit is composed of Tit (talc-carbonate rock) and steatite, out is presumably derived from ultramafic igneous rooks which were first serpentinized. The dimensions of the lens are about 700 feet by 500 feet by 130 feet. The talc is of good quality and is suitable, either as a mine run product or as a flotation concentrate, for most industrial uses other than industrial steatite. No pencil stock was encountered.
The Barnes hill talc prospect is in Waterbury township, Washington County, Vermont. Surface rights are divided among Donald P. and Glenola Brown, John Barnes, and Eastern Magnesia Talc Co. One drill hole at Barnes hill was barren. The other six penetrated about 20 to 140 feet of talc ore. The deposit lies on the east limb of the Green Mountain anticlinorium. The country rock outside of the ultramafic rock body consists of quartz-chlorite-sericite schist, chlorite-albite schist; and chlorite amphibolite, which strike generally about N, 20° E. and dip steeply to the east. The ultramafic body is elliptical in plan, about 1,600 feet long and 360 feet wide. The vertical dimension is unknown. The original ultramafic rock has been almost completely serpentinized and is extensively altered to grit and steatite. The talc ore is somewhat irregularly distributed throughout the ultramafic body, but it is possible to delineate with considerable confidence portions of the body that consist predominantly of ore. The largest ore bodies are in the eastern and northern parts of the ultramafic body. The ore contains more or less admixed serpentine, and so is only of intermediate to fairly good color (whiteness). It is suitable for many industrial uses in which purity and high whiteness are not necessary. No pencil stock was seen.

The Powder River enters and leaves the valley through narrow rock gorges. The alluviated basin floor at an altitude of about 3,400 feet is bounded by high, Alpine-type mountains on the west and by lover hilly ridges on the north, east, and south. Creeks descend across alluvial fans from the higher western margin of the valley to the Powder River on the valley floor.
The valley floor and the contiguous alluvial slopes are formed of unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary age having a thickness of more than 700 feet in the central part of the valley. The surrounding higher lands are formed of consolidated rocks composed of volcanic flows, tuffs, and partly consolidated deposits of Tertiary age, and sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic roots of late Paleozoic age. The unconsolidated materials underlying the alluvial slopes are mostly fanglomerates - composed of partly consolidated angular rock fragments imbedded in assorted finer materials - and fine-grained sedimentary deposits having much inter-bedded gravel and sand along the valley floor.
The unconsolidated deposits contain a body of ground water, the upper surface of which is called the water table. The water table slopes down gradient approximately parallel to tile land surface. Variations in the general inclination of that water table indicate that drainage on different segments of the alluvial slope is influent and effluent to the ground water body. Yields from wells in the fanglomerate along the rest side of the valley are not large, but large yields are obtained from wells on the valley floor just north of Baker. Properly constructed test wells have not been drilled over much of the northern part of the valley floor.
The Tertiary rocks of both volcanic and sedimentary origin along the margin of the valley east of Baker contain some ground water under sufficient pressure to cause wells to flow at the surface, but generally those strata are not highly productive. Some water occurring along fault lines in these rocks has all abnormally high temperature.
The growing season in this area is short and the use of shallow water for irrigation may aid materially in securing the maximum returns of which the valley is capable.

Canning quadrangle, South Dakota","docAbstract":"The Canning 15-minute quadrangle, near the center of South Dakota, is bordered on the east by the 100th Meridian and on the north by latitude 44°30'. The geology of the quadrangle has been mapped by the Engineering Geology Branch of the Geological Survey as part of a project in the general plan of the Department of Interior for developing the resources of the Missouri River Basin. One unit of this plan is the construction, by the Bureau of Reclamation, of a canal from the proposed Oahe reservoir in the Missouri River trench extending eastward and passing through the Canning quadrangle to the Blunt balancing reservoir, about 10 miles northeast of the northeast corner of the quadrangle.
The only community in the quadrangle is Canning, a village of 57 inhabitants. The nearest larger towns are Blunt, 1 mile north of the northeast corner of the quadrangle, and Pierre, 3 miles west of the quadrangle.
