Discharge of saltwater from Permian rocks to major stream-aquifer systems in central and south-central Kansas
Anthony J. Gogel
1979, Open-File Report 79-1055
Saline-water inflow from Permian rocks has resulted in the degradation of freshwater systems in several areas of central and south-central Kansas. Solution of evaporite beds has occurred along the eastern edge of the Wellington Formation, chiefly within the Hutchinson Salt Member and associated gypsum units. The solution, caused by leakage...
Preliminary report on drilling in and near the San Andreas fault zone, California; Dry Lake Valley No. 1
John C. Roller, Mark D. Zoback, C.B. Raleigh, R.P. Liechti
1979, Open-File Report 79-1206
The purpose of drilling into the San Andreas fault zone is threefold. First, recovery of material from depth will permit determination of the composition and constitutive properties of both solid and fluid phases. Second, it will enable measurements of the physical state of the fault zone to be made (that...

Map showing ground-water conditions in the Bodaway Mesa area, Coconino County, Arizona: 1977
C. D. Farrar
1979, Open-File Report 79-1488
The Bodaway Mesa area includes about 800 square miles in north-central Arizona, and most of the area is in the Navajo Indian Reservation. Ground-water development has been slight; in 1977 the estimated ground-water withdrawal was less than 5 acre-feet. The Chinle Formation is the principal aquifer tapped by wells, and...

Geologic map of the greater Denver area, Front Range urban corridor, Colorado
Donald E. Trimble, Michael N. Machette
1979, IMAP 856-H
This digital map shows the areal extent of surficial deposits and rock stratigraphic units (formations) as compiled by Trimble and Machette from 1973 to 1977 and published in 1979 under the Front Range Urban Corridor Geology Program. Trimble and Machette compiled their geologic map from published geologic maps and unpublished...
Aeromagnetic map and associated depth map of the Upper Mississippi Embayment region
T.G. Hildenbrand, R.P. Kucks, M. F. Kane, J. D. Hendricks
1979, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1158
The purpose of these maps is to present recently compiled aeromagnetic data and associated depth estimates to magnetic basement in the upper Mississippi embayment region. This area is one of the most seismically active regions in the eastern United States. In 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey initiated magnetic surveys to...

1979, Hydrologic Atlas 586
The St. Louis River is the largest tributary to Lake Superior in Minnesota. It drains a predominantly forested area of about 3,650 mi2 (Minnesota Department of Conservation, 1959) and discharges into the lake at Duluth. The Mesabi Iron Range, noted for rich deposits of iron ore, parallels much of the northern...

Ground-water availability in parts of the Chicopee and Mill River basins, near Wilbraham, Massachusetts
David F. Delaney
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-72
Ground water in the Wilbraham area occurs in glacial drift and in underlying bedrock. Stratified sand and gravel deposits form the principal unconsolidated aquifers. These aquifers are generally less than 50 feet thick in most of the study area; however, an area in north-central Wilbraham, near the Chicopee River, is...
Map showing occurrences of spring-deposited travertine in the conterminous Western United States
J. H. Feth, Ivan Barnes
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-35
Extinct travertine terraces occur hundreds of meters above present levels of spring activity and have potentials for interpretation of ancient hydrologic systems, rates of downcutting, or rates of tectonic uplift that remain virtually unexploited. The abundance and size of extinct travertine deposits suggest that in many places, such as pinnacles...

Resources were assessed for thorium in the higher grade and better known deposits in the United States in: (1) veins, (2) massive carbonatites, (3) stream placers of North and South Carolina, and (4) disseminated deposits. Thorium resources for the first three categories were divided into reserves and probable potential resources....
