This summary of southwestern Washington stratigraphy describes the principal Tertiary formations comprising the Cenozoic sequences. A field trip road log provides directions for access to type and/or reference localities for each formation discussed.Tertiary rocks of southwestern Washington, measuring nearly 13,000 feet in thickness, are mapped as thirteen formational units. These...

Water resources and geology of the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation and vicinity, San Diego County, California
A.P. Ballog Jr., W. R. Moyle Jr.
1980, Open-File Report 80-960
The water resources of the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation, San Diego County, Calif., are sufficient to supply the limited domestic and stock-water needs of the present residents of the reservation. Surface-water runoff is derived from direct precipitation on the area and from intermittent spring flow. Groundwater occurs in the alluvial...

Preliminary data describing the distribution of fluoride and silica in the water in the Ogallala aquifer on the High Plains of Texas
R.L. Bassett, S.G. Perkins, R. K. Waddell
1980, Open-File Report 80-349
The Ogallala aquifer of Texas historically has been known for elevated fluoride concentration, with many areas in excess of 4 milligrams per liter. In addition, on a regional scale, silica concentrations are also somewhat elevated, with concentrations averaging in the 40 to 50 milligrams per liter range. This aquifer provides...

Schlumberger soundings in the Fish Springs Flat area, Juab County, Utah
Robert J. Bisdorf, Adel A. R. Zohdy
1980, Open-File Report 80-384
In 1978 the U. S. Geological Survey made 43 Schlumberger soundings in the Fish Springs Flat area, Juab County, Utah. The purpose of this survey was to delineate water quality and obtain structural information. Fish Springs Flat consists mainly of Quaternery deposits of sand, gravel, clay, and silt. On the...

Digital model simulation of the hydrologic flow system, with emphasis on ground water in Spokane Valley, Washington and Idaho
E.L. Bolke, J.J. Washington
1980, Open-File Report 80-1300
A digital-computer model of the hydrologic flow system, with emphasis on ground water, was developed for Spokane Valley, Washington and Idaho. The current rate of ground-water pumping in Spokane Valley has little effect on water levels in the Spokane aquifer, although short-term water-level declines occur locally. The model was used...
Exploratory trench across the Pleasant Valley Fault, Nevada
Manuel G. Bonilla, H. A. Villalobos, R. E. Wallace
1980, Open-File Report 80-1245
An exploratory trench was excavated across the 1915 trace of the Pleasant Valley fault 60 km south of Winnemucca, Nevada, to get information on the history of recent displacements on a fault that had produced a major earthquake in historic time, and on the appearance of such a fault in...

Principal facts for gravity stations of part of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho and Montana
Michael R. Brickey, Viki Bankey, M. Dean Kleinkopf
1980, Open-File Report 80-1241
During the summers of 1978 and 1979, 211 gravity stations were established in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness area (Fig. 1). The data were obtained as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) program to evaluate the mineral-resource potential of wilderness areas. This gravity survey complements a gravity study of the proposed...

Geologic and hydrologic data from a test-monitor well at Fernandina Beach, Florida
David P. Brown
1980, Open-File Report 80-347
A 2,102-foot observation well was drilled at Fernandina Beach, Florida, to obtain geologic and hydrologic data. Drill cuttings, water samples, and water-level measurements were collected. Geologist's, driller's, and geophysical logs were completed. The well is constructed with 12-inch diameter casing to a depth of 515 feet and 6-inch diameter casing...
