Dissolved-oxygen depletion and other effects of storing water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah
E.L. Bolke
1978, Open-File Report 78-92
The circulation of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is caused chiefly by insolation, inflow-outflow relationships, and wind, which is significant due to the geographical location of the reservoir. During 1970-75, there was little annual variation in the thickness, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance of the hypolimnion near Flaming Gorge Dam....

Map showing placer deposits of the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, Alaska
Russell G. Tysdal
1978, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 880-B
Placer gold was first recovered from stream gravels of the Seward quadrangle about 1850 by P.P. Doroshin, a mining engineer employed by the Russian-American Company. He obtained a few ounces of gold from gravels from two streams that flow into the Kenai River below Kenai Lake (Moffit, 1906, p. 8)....
