Water rights in areas of ground-water mining
Harold E. Thomas
1955, Circular 347
Ground-water mining, the progressive depletion of storage in a ground-water reservoir, has been going on for several years in some areas, chiefly in the Southwestern States. In some of these States a water right is based on ownership of land overlying the ground-water reservoir and does not depend upon putting...
Hydraulics of wells
Thad G. McLaughlin
1955, Open-File Report 55-104
Although the subject of this lecture is supposed to be concerned primarily with the hydraulics of wells, Professor Weers has asked that I also discuss the effects tat geological formations have on the quantity and quality of water available to wells. I will discuss the geology of Colorado in relation...
Extending flood-frequency graphs by comparison with rainfall
W. B. Langbein
1955, Open-File Report 55-90
Flood discharge is the consequence of many contributing hydrologic events which may be presumed to occur fortuitously and independently, such that the probability of a given flood is the product of the probability of each independent contributing event.  Of the many factors that lead to a flood, the two most...
Water levels in observation wells in part of Montana, 1946-1953
F. A. Swenson
1955, Open-File Report 55-180
Ground-water investigations were made by the Ground Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, from 1946 to 1954, inclusive, in several parts of Montana. These studies were made as part of the program of the Department of the Interior for development of the Missouri River Basin. Thus, the areas selected for...
Floods in North Carolina, frequency and magnitude
H. C. Riggs
1955, Open-File Report 55-151
Recorded annual flood stages and discharges at 144 gaging stations are listed.  Also included are maximum known flood stages and discharges, both at gaging stations and at miscellaneous sites.  Using the annual flood discharge at gaging stations a regional analysis of flood magnitudes and frequencies in the state was made....
The outlook for ground-water resources in Texas
R.W. Sundstrom
1955, Open-File Report 55-178
The future of ground-water supplies in Texas presents a problem that is very important to the economy of Texas and to the well-being of almost every citizen of the state.  It is of particular importance to more than 580 municipalities using ground water as the sole source of water supply;...
Ground water and the law - some selected annotated references
Robert C. Vorhis
1955, Open-File Report 55-184
The strictly "legal" literature of ground-water use and control -except for a few essays in certain of the law reviews- is quite limited. A larger and more pointful source of information and analysis is the legal-scientific writings of the geologists, hydrologists, meteorologists, engineers and others. When new statutes are to...
Pyrite deposits at Horseshoe Bay, Latouche Island, Alaska
Francis Adrien Stejer
1955, Open-File Report 55-175
Horseshoe Bay (see fig. 1) is in the southwest part of Prince William Sound at latitude 60°01'N and longitude 147°57'W. It is on the west side of Latouche Island about two miles southwest of the old mining camp of Latouche. Pyrite deposits crop out about one-half mile from the head...
Photogeologic procedures in geologic interpretation and mapping
Richard G. Ray
1955, Open-File Report 55-144
In the past few years increasing use has been made of aerial photographs for geologic interpretation and mapping within the U.S. Geological Survey. As a specialized technique in interpretation and mapping, however, photogeologic procedures were extensively used (1947-1953) in the Survey's geologic mapping of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in...
Pegmatites of the Middletown area, Connecticut
Frederick Stugard Jr.
1955, Open-File Report 55-177
The pegmatites of the Middletown area in Connecticut have been mined almost continuously for feldspar and muscovite mica since about 1865, Pegmatites in this and other areas have recently become the subject of renewed interest because pegmatites are the potential source of beryl, the ore mineral of beryllium. During 1948...
Occurrence of diatomaceous earth near Kenai, Alaska
George Plafker
1955, Open-File Report 55-139
Diatomaceous earth occurs in post-glacial lake deposits exposed along the shore of Cook Inlet north of the village of Kenai, Alaska. Diatomaceous earth is an unconsolidated earthy deposit formed by accumulation of the minute siliceous tests (skeletons) of diatoms, a type of algae. Diatomaceous earth is sometimes referred to...
Status of ownership of part of the lands on which phosphate-bearing beds outcrop in southwestern Montana and northeastern Idaho
Emerson C. Willey, E. R. Cressman, H.W. Peirce, T. M. Cheney
1955, Open-File Report 55-197
This report and accompanying maps summarize the status or ownership or many phosphate bearing lands in southwestern Montana and northeastern Idaho. Ownership categories discussed are (1) phosphate rights owned by Federal Government, (2) phosphate rights not owned by Federal Government, and (3) ownership status uncertain....
