Time of travel of water in the Potomac River, Cumberland to Washington
James K. Searcy, Luther C. Davis
1961, Circular 438
This report introduces a graphical procedure for estimating the time required for water to travel down the Potomac River in the reach extending from Cumberland, Md., to Washington, D.C. The time of travel varies with the flow of the river; so the stage of the river at the lower end...

Ground-water potentialities in the Crescent Valley, Eureka and Lander Counties, Nevada
Christie Paul Zones
1961, Water Supply Paper 1581
The Crescent Valley is an intermontane basin in Eureka and Lander Counties, just south of the Humboldt River in north-central Nevada. The valley floor, with an area of about 150 square miles, has a shape that more nearly resembles a Y than a crescent, although the valley apparently was named...

Salinity and hydrology of closed lakes
Walter Basil Langbein
1961, Professional Paper 412
Lakes without outlets, called closed lakes, are exclusively features of the arid and semiarid zones where annual evaporation exceeds rainfall. The number of closed lakes increases with aridity, so there are relatively few perennial closed lakes, but "dry" lakes that rarely contain water are numerous.Closed lakes fluctuate in level to...
Gravity survey in the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho — A progress report
Thomas R. LaFehr
1961, Open-File Report 62-74
A regional gravity survey in the eastern Snake River Plain was conducted in the early summer of 1961. Seven hundred and seven gravity stations were established between latitudes 42°15'N and 44°30'N between longitudes 111°30'W and 114°30'W. Three hundred and twenty-five of these stations were located in 2,700 square miles of...
Potential water power of Lake Chakachamna, Alaska
Bruce Lawellin Jackson
1961, Open-File Report 61-74
Lake Chakachamna, in view of its area, altitude, and location on a region of high precipitation and runoff, has a large potential power value. The outflow from the lake, based on limited streamflow records varies from less than 60 cfs to well over 15,000 cfs, with an annual flow in...
