Reconnaissance survey of the Roberts Mountains, Nevada
C.W. Merriam, C.A. Anderson
1942, Geological Society of America Bulletin (53) 1675-1727
The Roberts Mountains region, central Nevada, provides an excellent section of Paleozoic rocks ranging from Upper Cambrian to Permian. Major low-angle thrusting is indicated by deformed Ordovician strata resting on Paleozoics of varying age. Overlying a thick breccia zone, the upper thrust plate consists of sandstones, andesitic flows and tuffs,...
Intrusive rocks in the Blue Ridge plateau, Virginia
Anna Stose
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 342-342
An injection complex of early pre‐Cambrian age is exposed in the Elk Creek anticline in Grayson County, Virginia. There, sedimentary rocks and diorite have been intruded by the Striped Rock and the Carsonville granites. The granites have metamorphosed, injected, reacted with, and replaced the older rocks to form many mixed...
Monthly evapo‐transpiration losses from natural drainage‐basin
Walter B. Langbein
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 604-614
With limited restrictions the hydrologic cycle in a given area may be expressed essentially as follows: P = (R + E + ΔFm) in which P represents the precipitation during a given period, R that portion which has reached or will reach the stream‐channel either through surface or subsurface paths,...
Recharge to ground‐water from floods in a typical desert wash, Pinal County, Arizona
H. M. Babcock, E. M. Cushing
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 49-56
Queen Creek, considered in this paper, is a typical large desert wash. It rises in the Pinal Mountains near the mining town of Superior and enters the outwash‐plain at Black Point about three miles north of Florence Junction (see Fig. 1). Thence it passes over the desert in a southwesterly...
Recharge and discharge of the ground‐water reservoirs on the High Plains in Texas
W. L. Broadhurst
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 9-15
The High Plains in Texas occupy an area of about 35,000 square miles extending from the northern boundary of the Panhandle southward about 300 miles, and from the New Mexico line eastward an average distance of about 120 miles to a boundary which in most places is sharply defined by...
Recharge, movement, and discharge in the Edwards Limestone Reservoir, Texas
A.N. Sayre, R.R. Bennett
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 19-27
The Edwards limestone of Lower Cretaceous age is the principal water‐bearing formation in a belt 5 to 25 miles wide that extends from Austin southwest to San Antonio and thence west through Uvalde and Del Rio to Comstock, a distance of about 250 miles (see Fig. 1). Throughout this belt...
Solution‐phenomena in the Pecos basin in New Mexico
Arthur M. Morgan
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 27-25
The drainage‐basin of the Pecos River in New Mexico is a broad asymmetric trough extending from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains southward into Texas (see Fig. 1). It is bounded on the east by the westward facing escarpment of the High Plains and on the west by the crests of...
Quality of stored water available for use in the lower basin of the Pecos River, Texas
C. S. Howard
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 593-598
Storage of water in reservoir s may be for (1) irrigation, (2) power‐generation sometimes in connection with releases for irrigation, (3) flood‐control, (4) recreation, or combinations of these four uses. The control of releases of the stored water may involve conflicts of interests as to the best use of the...
Hydraulic criteria for sand‐waves 
Walter B. Langbein
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 615-619
Sand‐waves on rivers are rhythmic successions of waves which occur at flood‐stages of streams heavily loaded with sediments. They take their name from the fact that sand and associated silts and gravels form a large part of the load transported by a river at such times. They seem to be...
Report of Committee on Underground Waters, 1941–42
David G. Thompson
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 467-468
So many ground‐water hydrologists are engaged on problems relating directly to the war that the usual annual inquiry for information as to projects that deserve review in the annual report of the Committee on Underground Waters brought relatively little response. It is in part for this reason, but also in...
Sediment loads in the Moore Creek drainage‐basin, Idaho 1939–40
S. K. Love, Paul Charles Benedict
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 652-657
The Boise River Project in southwestern Idaho comprises an area of about 333,000 acres of highly developed agricultural land. Precipitation in the irrigated valley averages about ten inches a year which is too low to support any but desert vegetation. Water for irrigation during the growing season is obtained from...
Runoff in the Santa Ynez River Basin, California, following the excessive rainfall of 1940–41
G.A. LaRocque Jr.
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 124-129
This paper reports briefly on the runoff‐characteristics of the Santa Ynez River in Santa Barbara County, California, following the excessive rainfall in the winter of 1940–41; also, it contrasts these conditions of 1940–41 with earlier years of less rainfall. The data for this report were compiled in connection with an...
Ground‐water studies in the Southwest 
O. E. Meinzer
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 6-9
Geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems that form the crust of the Earth. The groundwater geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems specifically because the open spaces which the rocks contain serve as reservoirs and conduits for water—water which performs a large part of the geologic work that is in progress...
