The Windy Creek area, on the south flank of the Alaska Range in the Alaska Railroad belt, contains deposits of raw materials which could be utilized in the manufacture of portland cement.
Bedrock in this region includes limestone, argillaceous rocks, chert, and a wide variety of other lithologic types ranging in age from Devonian to Cretaceous.
The major geologic structures of the area are oriented parallel to the regional northeast trend of the Alaska Range. Devonian rocks crop out on the south flank of the range, with generally north-dipping strata of Mesozoic age occurring in the area to the southeast. A northeast-trending fault separates the rocks of the two eras.
Two limestone deposits of the Devonian system are of adequate size and quality for cement manufacturing purposes. They are located 7 and 11 miles west of the Alaska Railroad; argillaceous rocks occur in both the Devonian and Jurassic(?) systems and are found in many parts of the area. Chert, of Triassic age, possibly of some value as a high-silica component, was found adjacent to the Alaska Railroad near Windy Station.

The base (a heretofore unlocated feature) of the glacial outwash deposits, the main aquifer of the area, was determined as an uneven plane at an altitude of 1,800 to 1,700 feet in the State-boundary district and at 1,700 feet in the Hillyard Trough district.","language":"ENGLISH","doi":"10.3133/ofr53199","usgsCitation":"Newcomb, R.C., and and others, 1953, Seismic cross sections across the Spokane River valley and the Hillyard Trough, Idaho and Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 53-199, 15 p., 18 plates, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr53199.","productDescription":"15 p., 18 plates","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":177598,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1953/0199/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":86517,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1953/0199/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86518,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1953/0199/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86519,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1953/0199/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a74e4b07f02db6448fd","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Newcomb, R.

Two of these were the greatest known in the State if the size of the drainage areas is considered, and the other two were not so spectacular but were of notable size and of possible hydrologic significance in their relation to the two major floods. Although property loss and damage have been exceeded in previous floods in Nebraska, notably in the flood of May-June 1935 on the Republican River, they were extremely high in the period covered by this report. Loss of life, which resulted largely from the rapid cresting of the streams, was likewise high. \r\n\r\nEach of the floods was caused by heavy precipitation, which at times reached intensities seldom recorded in the Missouri River basin. On May 8, 1950, more than 14 inches of rain fell over certain areas of the Little Nemaha River basin within a period of a few hours. One center of the storm of July 8, 1950,occurred at York, Nebr., where 11 inches of rain was recorded within a 4-hour period, and the storm total exceeded 13 inches. \r\n\r\nNotable high rates of discharge produced by the intense rainfall were 1,030 cfs per square mile from 218 square miles of drainage area in the Little Nemaha River basin on May 9, 1950; 1,020 cfs per square mile from 2.5 square miles drainage area in the Elkhorn River basin on June 2, 1950; and 3,320 cfs per square mile from 6.93 square miles of drainage area in the Big Blue River basin on July 9, 1950. \r\n\r\nThis report presents records of stage and discharge for the flood. periods at 36 stream-gaging stations in southeast Nebraska, and a summary of peak discharges, with comparative data for previously known floods at 45 measurement points. The report also includes a discussion of the weather associated with the floods and other data pertinent to the floods.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1137D","usgsCitation":"Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, 1953, Floods of May-July 1950 in southeastern Nebraska: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1137, 351-411 p. :ill., maps ;23 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1137D.","productDescription":"351-411 p. :ill., maps ;23 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":137531,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1137d/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":24677,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1137d/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49d9e4b07f02db5df949","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey","contributorId":128075,"corporation":true,"usgs":false,"organization":"Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey","id":527160,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":14034,"text":"ofr53105 - 1953 - Instructions for sampling in geochemical prospecting","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:06:53","indexId":"ofr53105","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1953","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":330,"text":"Open-File Report","code":"OFR","onlineIssn":"2331-1258","printIssn":"0196-1497","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"53-105","title":"Instructions for sampling in geochemical prospecting","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey],","doi":"10.3133/ofr53105","usgsCitation":"Hawkes, H.E., 1953, Instructions for sampling in geochemical prospecting: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 53-105, 16 p, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr53105.","productDescription":"16 p","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":147060,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab0e4b07f02db66d870","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hawkes, H.
