Preliminary report on stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville River north of Umiat, Alaska
Karl Stefansson, R. F. Thurrell Jr., J. H. Zumberge
1947, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 13
The stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville north of Umiat was studied by U. S. GeologicaI Survey Party No. 1 during the period of May 31 to July 19, 1947. The. party, consisting pf two geologists, a cook, and a "weasel" mechanic, left Umiat in two "weasels”....
Part 3: Volcano investigations on Umnak Island, 1946
F. M. Byers Jr., D.M. Hopkins, K. L. Wier, Bernard Fisher
1947, Report, Alaskan Volcano Investigations Report No. 2
Umnak Island is a dumbbell-shaped island in the eastern part of the Aleutian Islands. The island is 70 miles long and trends northeast-southwest. During 1946 volcano investigations were begun on the island and geologic mapping of most of northeastern Umnak Island was completed.Okmok Volcano, a large, broad volcanic mountain rising...
Thrust faults and related structures in eastern Cuba
T. P. Thayer, P. W. Guild
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 919-930
Detailed areal mapping in central Camagüey Province and reconnaissance mapping in northern and eastern Oriente Province, Cuba, have revealed two major structural zones: (1) A zone of intense deformation, including thrust faulting, which lies north of the geographic axis of the island; and (2) a belt of domical mountains bounded...
Chemical analyses and calculated modes of the Oliverian magma series, Mt. Washington Quadrangle, New Hampshire 
M.P. Billings, J.C. Rabbitt
1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 573-596
Complete chemical analyses, including the spectrographic determination of 44 trace elements, have been made of six representative specimens from each of the six map units constituting the Oliverian magma series in the Mt. Washington quadrangle of New Hampshire. Potash is systematically higher than soda. An increase in silica, which ranges...
Geology of the Borah Peak quadrangle, Idaho 
C. P. Ross
1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 1085-1160
This report is on result of a long program of geologic investigation in south-central Idaho, undertaken as an aid in the development of the mineral resources of the region. This quadrangle was examined because of the exceptional opportunities for the study of stratigraphy and structure afforded by the Lost River...
Suggestions as to future research in ground‐water hydrology
O. E. Meinzer
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 418-420
Determination of the ground‐water supply available from any aquifer or in any specified area requires not merely the application of specific quantitative methods but also a broad and accurate knowledge of the geologic, hydrologlc, and geochemical factors that are involved, and consideration of the economic and legal limitations. Further research...
Ground-water conditions and problems in the Upper Mississippi River Embayment
Robert Schneider
1947, Economic Geology (42) 626-633
The Upper Mississippi River Embayment is a region of about 45,000 square miles in the Mississippi River Valley extending from the vicinity of the 34th parallel northward to the mouth of the Ohio River. It includes parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. In 1940 about 2,700,000 people inhabited...
Geology and ground-water resources of Puerto Rico
Charles Lee McGuinness
1947, Economic Geology (42) 563-571
Puerto Rico, the easternmost and smallest of the Greater Antilles, has an axis of deformed and metamorphosed volcanic rocks of Upper Cretaceous age, intruded by dioritic rocks during the Antillean revolution. The hard-rock core is flanked on the north and south by limestones and clastic rocks of late Oligocene and...
Geology and ground-water resources of the island of Niihau, Hawaii
Harold T. Stearns, Gordon A. Macdonald
1947, Bulletin 12
Niihau lies 171/2 miles southwest of Kauai. Its area is 72 square miles, and its highest point has an altitude of 1,281 feet. The population is about 180, chiefly Hawaiians. The annual rainfall at Kiekie, the ranch headquarters, generally ranges between 18 and 26 inches. The chief industries are the...
Geology and ground-water resources of the island of Molokai, Hawaii
Harold T. Stearns, Gordon A. Macdonald
1947, Bulletin 11
The island of Molokai is the fifth largest of the Hawaiian Islands, with an area of 250 square miles. It lies 25 miles southeast of Oahu, and 8.5 miles northwest of Maui. It consists of two principal parts, each a major volcanic mountain. East Molokai rises to 4,970 feet altitude....
Geology of San Antonio Canyon, California, in relation to ground-water storage
P. Eldon Dennis
1947, Open-File Report 47-33
At least two periods of relative stability in the history of the erosion of San Antonio Canyon are indicated by the bench-like features produced by the laterally cutting stream and by the remnants of older alluvium left by the stream when it was cutting at these higher levels. In addition,...
