Suggested exploration target in west-central Maine
Frank Cogswell Canney, Edwin Van Horn Post
1964, Open-File Report 64-31
Reconnaissance geochemical drainage surveys have located a stream in the southern part of the Long Pond quadrangle in Somerset County, Maine, where the active stream sediment contains as much as 2,500 parts per million (ppm) lead and 7,000 ppm zinc. Although this anomaly has been known for some time, its...
Geology of the Andover Granite and surrounding rocks, Massachusetts
Robert O. Castle
1964, Open-File Report 64-33
Field and petrographic studies of the Andover Granite and surrounding rocks have afforded an opportunity for an explanation of its emplacement and crystallization. The investigation has contributed secondarily to an understanding of the geologic history of southeastern New England, particularly as it is revealed in the Lawrence, Wilmington, South Groveland,...
Reconnaissance geochemistry of stream sediments from three areas near Juneau, Alaska
Henry C. Berg
1964, Open-File Report 64-13
Results of a preliminary inquiry into background metal content of stream sediments near Juneau, Alaska, and whether this background is related to geologic terrane indicate that stream sediments derived chiefly from metamorphic rocks show significantly higher modal nickel, zinc, and arsenic than do sediments derived mainly from sedimentary or igneous...
Amazon River investigations, reconnaissance measurements of July 1963
Roy Edwin Oltman, H. O’R. Sternberg, F.C. Ames, L.C. Davis
1964, Circular 486
The first measurements of the flow of the Amazon River were made in July 1963 as a joint project of the University of Brazil, the Brazilian Navy, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The discharge of the Amazon River at Obidos was 7,640,000 cfs at an annual flood stage somewhat lower...
Ground water east of Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
Laurence J. McGreevy, Ellis D. Gordon
1964, Circular 494
The project area, which lies east of and adjacent to Jackson Lake is on the downthrown eastern block of the Teton fault, a normal fault that trends northward along the west edge of Jackson Lake. Rocks of pre-Cretaceous age are deeply buried beneath this area. Sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous age...
Floods of January-February 1957 in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1964, Water Supply Paper 1652-A
Heavy rains over an extensive area on January 27-February 2, caused extreme flooding in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas in West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. Total rainfall for the storm period ranged from 6-9 inches over most of the report area and was 12? inches at the eastern end of...
Inventory of published and unpublished chemical analyses of surface waters in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, 1961
Thomas H. Woodard, Sumner Griggs Heidel
1964, Water Supply Paper 1786
This inventory contains a list of published and unpublished chemical analyses obtained through September 30, 1961, by agencies associated with the Subcommittee on Hydrology. Bulletin 6 of Subcommittee on Hydrology includes references to all surface-water analyses for states east of the Mississippi River known to exist in the files of...
The Water Supply of El Morro National Monument
Samuel Wilson West, Helene Louise Baldwin
1964, Water Supply Paper 1766
In the land of enchantment, between Gallup and Grants, N. Mex., near the Zuni Mountains, a huge sandstone bluff rises abruptly 200 feet above the plain. The Spaniards called it 'El Morro,' which means 'the headland' or 'bluff.' Around it are other mesas and canyons and stands of pinon and...
Mercury - Its occurrence and economic trends
Edgar H. Bailey, Roscoe M. Smith
1964, Circular 496
In 1963 the domestic production of primary mercury was less than one-fourth of the domestic consumption, largely because a series of years of declining price led to the closing of most of the domestic mines. During 1963 and 1964 the U.S. price, which usually responds to world price, increased from...
Hydrogeologic reconnaissance of Poro Point and vicinity, Luzon Island, Philippines
George Frank Worts
1964, Water Supply Paper 1608-E
In 1961 a reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water hydrology of Poro Point, on the west coast of Luzon Island, Philippines, was made on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Navy. Poro Point, which marks the northern end of Lingayen Gulf, is about half a mile wide and projects...
