Occurrence of bloedite and related minerals in marine shale of Diablo and Temblor Ranges, California
K. J. Murata
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 637-642
Bloedite, epsomite, and related minerals occur in small amounts throughout the arid eastern foothills of the Diablo and Temblor Ranges, as efflorescences on siliceous shale and as deposits around small springs and a brine pond. These minerals ultimately are products of weathering of underlying organic shale, and they are reminders...

Bedrock map of Fairfax County, Virginia
Avery A. Drake Jr., A.J. Froelich
1977, Open-File Report 77-523
The generalized rock-type of lithologic map separates the firm consolidated bedrock that underlies most of Fairfax County into thirteen (13) major rock types; each type groups rock units with grossly similar physical characteristics. Although crystalline bedrock underlies the Coastal Plain deposits of Eastern Fairfax County, it was not subdivided on...
Geology of the Monterey Bay region
H. Gary Greene
1977, Open-File Report 77-718
Geophysical data and sea floor samples collected from the continental shelf and slope between Ano Nuevo Point and Point Sur, California indicate that the Monterey Bay region has had a complex late Cenozoic tectonic history. Uplift and depression have produced a succession of regressive and transgressive sedimentary units, while contemporaneous...

Municipal, industrial, and irrigation water use in Washington, 1975
N. P. Dion, W. E. Lum
1977, Open-File Report 77-308
An assessment of water use in 1975 in the 39 counties and 62 Water Resources Inventory Areas of Washington, indicated that 2.49 trillion gallons of water was used for municipal, industrial, and irrigation purposes. That amount represents a 10-percent increase over a similar water-use assessment in 1965, but a slight...
January 1977 water levels, and data related to water-level changes since 1950, western Kansas
Marilyn E. Pabst
1977, Open-File Report 77-264
This report contains basic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western Kansas. Most of the measurements were made in January 1977; a few were made in December 1976 and in February 1977. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from...
Hydrology of the Creeping Swamp Watershed, North Carolina with reference to potential effects of stream channelization
