Ground-water conditions in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin
Frank Clingan Foley, W.C. Walton, W.J. Drescher
1953, Water Supply Paper 1229
Three major aquifers underlie the Milwaukee-Waukesha area: sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age, Niagara dolomite of Silurian age, and sand and gravel deposits of Pleistocene age. The Maquoketa shale of Ordovician age acts as a more or less effective seal between the Pleistocene deposits and Niagara dolomite above and the...
Irrigation and streamflow depletion in Columbia River basin above The Dalles, Oregon
Wilbur Douglas Simons
1953, Water Supply Paper 1220
The Columbia River is the largest stream in western United States. Above The Dalles, Oregon, it drains an area of 237,000 square miles, of which 39,000 square miles is in Canada. This area is largely mountainous and lies between the Rocky Mountains and the Cascade Range. The Kootenai, Pend Oreille,...
Water, frost, and frost resistance of natural and artificial building stones
H. Breyer, S. H. Britt (translator)
1953, Open-File Report 54-33
The worst enemy of construction engineering and of construction material is uncontrollable water, whether it be ground-, seepage-, rainwater, water of condensation, or melting snow and ice, exerting objectionable pressure upon tracks and roads. this applies as well to structures above the ground as to bridge piers and foundations, road...
Stratigraphy and structure of the Miners Mountain area, Wayne County, Utah
Robert G. Luedke
1953, Open-File Report 53-161
The Miners Mountain area includes about 85 square miles in Wayne County, south-central Utah. The area is semiarid and characterized by cliffs and deep canyons. Formations range in age from Permian to Upper Jurassic and have an aggregate thickness of about 3,500 feet. Permian formations are the buff Coconino sandstone and...
Marine geology of the Near Islands Shelf, Alaska
Philip Challacombe Scruton
1953, Open-File Report 53-245
During the summer of 1950 on the insular shelf surrounding the Near Islands, Alaska, 193 oceanographic stations were occupied from aboard the U. S. Geological Survey vessel EIDER. Bottom character and temperature observations were made at these stations. The composition and size distribution characteristics of the bottom samples have been...
Potential industrial sites in the Lynn Canal area, Alaska
Arthur Johnson, William Stephens Twenhofel
1953, Circular 280
Full development of a proposal to divert the headwaters of the Yukon River drainage from Canada into the Taiya River valley of Alaska would make available more than a half million kilowatts of electrical energy. Utilization of this block of power, for which there is at present no local market,...
Sedimentation in small reservoirs on the San Rafael Swell, Utah
Norman Julius King, Mervyn M. Mace
1953, Circular 256
Movement of sediment from upland areas and eventually into main drainages and rivers is by no means through continuous transportation of material from the source to the delta. Instead it consists of a series of intermittent erosional and depositional phases that present a pulsating movement. Hence, sediment carried off upland...
Water-power resources of Crystal River, Colorado
Fred Forrest Lawrence
1953, Circular 292
The Crystal River drains the western slope of the Elk Mountains, a relatively small range in the southern Rocky Mountain province, and flows into the Roaring Fork 13 miles southeast of Glenwood Springs, Colo. The lower 7 miles of the valley is cultivated, but upstream from this stretch the valley...
