Water resources of Clay, Greene, Craighead, and Poinsett Counties, Arkansas
Marion S. Hines, Raymond O. Plebuch, A. G. Lamonds
1972, Hydrologic Atlas 377
Water is available in Clay, Greene, Craighead, and Poinsett Counties from ground-water and surface-water sources. However, ground water is more accessible in many places than surface water. Ground water is available from the alluvium, which covers all the area except Crowleys Ridge, and is also available from other formations below...
Geology and water resources of the Bitterroot Valley, southwestern Montana, with a section on chemical quality of water
R. G. McMurtrey, Richard L. Konizeski, M. V. Johnson, John H. Bartells, H. A. Swenson
1972, Water Supply Paper 1889
The Bitterroot Valley is a Late Cretaceous structural basin that was partly filled at its deepest point by more than 1,640 feet of Tertiary sediments. These sediments grade valleyward from coarse colluvial deposits along the edges of the valley to fine-grained deposits and then to coarse channel deposits of the...

The Solomon quadrangle adjoins the Bering Sea east of Nome, Alaska. It has a common west border with the Nome quadrangle (Sainsbury and others, 1972b) and a common north border with the Bendeleben 1:250,000- scale quadrangle.Part of the area was mapped by Smith (1910), who discussed the rocks in some...
A geochemical study of the Rio Pantanos area, Department of Antioquia, Colombia preliminary report
Henry V. Alminas, Elwin L. Mosier
1972, Open-File Report 72-4
Geochemical sampling in the Western Cordillera has delineated an 18 km 2 area anomalous in copper, molybdenum, and silver. Highly anomalous metal contents are found in stream sediment, soil, and outcrop samples collected within this area. The area is underlain by intrusive granodiorite to quartz diorite that has porphyritic and...
Reconnaissance bedrock geologic map of the Chugach Mountains near Anchorage, Alaska
Sandra H. B. Clark
1972, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 350
The area between Knik and Turnagain Arms east of Anchorage is underlain mostly by rocks that are part of an extensive arcuate belt of thick Mesozoic marine deposits that extend through the Chugach-Kenai-Kodiak Mountains. The two main units in this belt are the Jurassic (?) and Cretaceous Valdez (?) Group...
A preliminary study of peat resources in eastern Maine
Cornelia Clermont Cameron

Nineteen peat deposits in southeastern Aroostook County (fig. 1) contain an estimated 4,987,000 tons of peat. The location, size and quality data for each deposit are given in tables 1, 2 and 3. Thirty-eight deposits in Washington County (fig. 2) contain an estimated 20,041,000 tons of peat. The location, size...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1967
J.O. Rostvedt
1972, Water Supply Paper 1880-C
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1967. The two most destructive floods occurred in August in east-central Alaska and in September and October in southern Texas. In east-central Alaska, heavy rain on August 8-17 produced record-breaking floods near Fairbanks. Peak discharges on some streams...

East-central Alaska had record floods near Fairbanks following extensive rains of August 8-20, 1967. Precipitation during this period totaled as much as 10 inches, which is close to the average annual precipitation for this area. The most extensive flooding occurred in the White Mountains northeast of Fairbanks and along the...

1972, Circular 676
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1970 indicate that an average of about 370 bgd (billion gallons per day)about 1,800 gallons per capita per day--was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) public-supply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock),...

E.D. Jackson, E. A. Silver, G. B. Dalrymple
1972, Geological Society of America Bulletin (83) 601-618
The Hawaiian Ridge and Emperor Seamounts appear to form a single chain of tholeiitic shield volcanoes that erupted sequentially on the sea floor of the central Pacific Ocean during Tertiary and Quaternary time. The chain cuts obliquely across the older Cretaceous structural patterns of that sea floor. While the pattern...

1972, GSA Bulletin (83) 1619-1638
Directions of natural remanent magnetization are used to identify and correlate individual cooling units in the middle Tertiary ash-flow province in central and eastern Nevada and western Utah. Potassium-argon dating indicates that the minimum time between eruptions of individual but genetically related ash-flow cooling units is on the order of...
