Preliminary flood-frequency relations for small streams in Kansas
T.J. Irza
1966, Open-File Report 66-67
Preliminary flood-frequency relations have been defined for small streams in Kansas for floods having recurrence intervals not greater than 10 years. The defined relations will be useful for the design of culverts and other hydraulic structures. The relations are expressed in terms of basin characteristics.Peakflow records at 95 sites in...

1966, Water Supply Paper 1684
The probable magnitude of floods of any recurrence interval between 1.1 and 50 years for any stream in the Great Basin can be determined by methods presented in this report.The Great Basin comprises nearly all of Nevada, western Utah, eastern California, and parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming. The physiography...
The interior of the Earth, an elementary description
Eugene C. Robertson
1966, Circular 532
Evidence on the structure and composition of the earth's interior comes from (1) observations of surface rocks, (2) geophysical data from earthquakes, flow of heat from the interior, the magnetic field, and gravity, (3) laboratory experiments on surface rocks and minerals, and (4) comparison of the earth with other planets,...
Utilization of ground water in the Santa Maria Valley area, California
G.A. Miller, R. E. Evenson
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-A
Overdraft in the Santa Maria Valley ground-water basin since about 1946 has resulted in a significant decline in water levels throughout the basin as ground water has been removed from storage. In 1959 approximately 2,200,000 acre-feet of ground water was in storage above sea level in the ground-water reservoir. Estimates...

Geology of the Cerro Summit quadrangle, Montrose County, Colorado
Robert G. Dickinson
1966, Open-File Report 66-24
The Cerro Summit quadrangle covers 58 square miles of dissected plateau on the south flank of the Gunnison uplift in southwestern Colorado. It lies east of the Uncompahgre River valley and south of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River. Rocks dip gently in most of the quadrangle, but they...
Road log for southern Santa Rita Mountains, Santa Cruz and Pima Counties, Arizona
Harald Drewes
1966, Open-File Report 66-29
Geologic mapping of the Mount Wrightson quadrangle has been completed recently by the U.S. Geological Survey. As a result, I am able to present a summary (table 1) of the rocks exposed and to indicate their ages and relations with each other. The Mesozoic rocks are emphasized because the local...

Mines and prospects, Idaho Springs district, Clear Creek and Gilpin counties, Colorado -- Descriptions and maps
Robert Hadley Moench, Avery Drake Jr.
1966, Open-File Report 66-87
The Idaho Springs mining district forms an important segment of the Front Range mineral belt, a northeast-trending zone of coextensive intrusive rocks and hydrothermal ore deposits of early Tertiary age. This belt, which is about 50 miles long, extends from the region just west of Boulder southwestward across the Front...
Salt-water encroachment in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, New York
N.J. Lusczynski, Wolfgang V. Swarzenski
1966, Water Supply Paper 1613-F
Test drilling, extraction of water from cores, electric logging, water sampling, and water-level measurements from 1958 to 1961 provided a suitable basis for a substantial refinement in the definition of the positions, chloride concentrations, and rates of movement of salty water in the intermediate and deep deposits of southern Nassau...
Effects of agricultural conservation practices on the hydrology of Corey Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1954-60
Benjamin L. Jones
1966, Water Supply Paper 1532-C
Analyses of data collected from two small basins in northern Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1960 indicated that changes in land use and land treatment have affected suspended- sediment discharge from the basins. Extensive land use and land-treatment changes have taken place in the 12.2-square-mile Corey Creek...
Plant microfossils from the Fort Union Formation

James L. Patterson, William P. Somers
1966, Water Supply Paper 1683
This report outlines methods by which the magnitude and frequency of expected floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years can be determined at most points in the Colorado River basin.Composite frequency curves were drawn showing the relation of the mean annual flood to floods having recurrence intervals...
Hydrologic inventory of the Lompoc subarea, Santa Ynez River basin, Santa Barbara County, California, 1957-62
R. E. Evenson
1966, Open-File Report 66-42
Hydrologic data collected during the climatically near-average 6-year period of inventory 1957-62 provide the basis for making estimates of supply to and demand from the Lompoc subarea of the Santa Ynez River basin and changes in the quantity of water stored in the deposits of the basin. The hydrologic inventory...
