Oil and gas resources of the Cheat Mountain Further Planning Area (RARE II), Randolph County, West Virginia
E. G. Weed
1981, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1271-B
The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts require the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to survey certain areas on Federal lands to determine their mineral resource potential. Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the President...
Potentiometric-surface map for the Cretaceous aquifer, Virginia coastal plain, 1978
