1980, Bulletin 1447
SUMMARY The North Absaroka Wilderness is approximately 560 square miles (1,450 km 2 ) of rugged scenic mountainous terrain that adjoins the eastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park in northwestern Wyoming. The area was studied during 1970, 1971, and 1972 by personnel of the U. S. Geological Survey and the U....
Hydrology and model study of the proposed Prosperity Reservoir, Center Creek Basin, southwestern Missouri
Edward Joseph Harvey, Leo F. Emmett
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-7
A dam and reservoir have been proposed for construction on Center Creek, Jasper County, in southwestern Missouri. Ground-water levels in the hills adjacent to the reservoir will rise when the impoundment is completed. One of the problems is that the proposed site of Prosperity Reservoir is a few miles upstream...
Some peat deposits in northern Penobscot, eastern Piscataquis, and eastern Aroostook Counties, Maine
Cornelia Clermont Cameron, Walter A. Anderson
1980, Open-File Report 80-718
Fifty-six peat deposits in northern Penobscot, eastern Piscataquis, and eastern Aroostook Counties, Maine, were investigated for peat resources. The total yield is an estimated 35,196,000 short tons air-dried peat, predominantly sphagnum moss and reed-sedge types. This peat, suitable for horticultural and agricultural uses, also has higher heating values and lower...
Surface faulting near Livermore, California, associated with the January 1980 earthquakes
Manuel G. Bonilla, James J. Lienkaemper, J. C. Tinsley
1980, Open-File Report 80-523
The earthquakes of 24 January (Ms 5.8) 1980 north of Livermore, California, and 26 January (Ms 5.2), were accompanied by surface faulting in the Greenville fault zone and apparently in the Las Positas fault zone also. The surface faulting was discontinuous and of small displacement. The main rupture within the...
Water-supply assessment of the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer in parts of Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld Counties, Colorado
Paul A. Schneider
1980, Open-File Report 80-327
Groundwater in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer is a potential source of supplemental municipal water supplies for the communities of Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, and Superior in Colorado. The present water supplies for these communities are not always adequate to meet current demands. The U.S. Geological Survey made a water-supply assessment of...

1980, Open-File Report 80-1190
At 39 cross sections in a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River Wyo., bed elevations were measured daily during a month-long period that included the peak snowmelt runoff. Elevations were measured at less frequent intervals for a week before and several weeks after peak runoff. Considerable scour and fill was...

Appraisal of ground-water resources in the San Antonio Creek Valley, Santa Barbara County, California
C. B. Hutchinson
1980, Open-File Report 80-750
A nearly threefold increase in demand for water in the 154-square-mile San Antonio Creek valley in California during the period 1958-77 has increased the potential for overdraft on the ground-water basin. The hydrologic budget for this period showed a perennial yield of about 9,800 acre-feet per year and an annual...

Ground-water appraisal in northwestern Big Stone County, west-central Minnesota
W.G. Soukup
1980, Open-File Report 80-568
The development of ground water for irrigation in northwestern Big Stone County has not kept up with development in other irrigable areas of the State.
