Clayton County includes 784 square miles in northeastern Iowa and in 1960 had a population of 21, 962. For the most part, the county is a dissected upland that is drained mainly by the southeastward flowing Turkey River and its principal tributary, the Volga River. The Turkey River empties into...
The Foraminiferal Genus Orbitolina in North America
Raymond Charles Douglass
1960, Professional Paper 333
The foraminiferal genus Orbitolina has been useful as an index fossil in the Cretaceous rocks of the circumglobal equatorial belt for nearly a century. In Europe and the Near and Middle East enough work has been done on the species to allow their use for approximate correlations within the Cretaceous...
Geology and ground-water resources of the lower Little Bighorn River Valley, Big Horn County, Montana, with special reference to the drainage of waterlogged lands
E. A. Moulder, M. F. Klug, D. A. Morris, F. A. Swenson, R. A. Krieger
1960, Water Supply Paper 1487
The lower Little Bighorn River valley, Montana, is in the unglaciated part of the Missouri Plateau section of the Great Plains physiographic province. The river and its principal tributaries rise in the Bighorn Mountains, and the confluence of this northward-flowing stream with the Bighorn River is near the east edge...

Geology, water resources and usable ground-water storage capacity of part of Solano County, California
H.G. Thomasson Jr., F. H. Olmsted, E. F. LeRoux
1960, Water Supply Paper 1464
The area described is confined largely to the valley-floor and foothill lands of Solano County, which lies directly between Sacramento, the State capital, and San Francisco. The area is considered in two subareas: The Putah area, which extends from Putah Creek southward to the Montezuma Hills and from the foothills...

Geology of the Jackson Mountains, Humbolt County, Nevada
Charles Ronald Willden
1960, Open-File Report 60-155
The Jackson Mountains, a prominent range near the center of Humboldt County, Nevada, are of interest because the Cretaceous rocks in the range record the effects of a late Cretaceous to early Tertiary orogeny. Such an orogeny has been assumed to have effected all of the Great Basin, but the...

An aeromagnetic reconnaissance of the Cook Inlet area, Alaska
Arthur Grantz, Isidore Zietz, Gordon E. Andreasen
1960, Open-File Report 60-59
Forty-two east-west aeromagnetic lines were flown across the Cook Inlet-Susitna Lowland between Chelatna Lake and Seldovia at a flight altitude of approximately 2,500 feet. The lines traverse all or part of five Mesozoic tectonic elements that dominate the structure of the Cook Inlet area. Each of these tectonic elements, the...
Water management, agriculture, and ground-water supplies
Raymond L. Nace
1960, Circular 415
Encyclopedic data on world geography strikingly illustrate the drastic inequity in the distribution of the world's water supply. About 97 percent of the total volume of water is in the world's oceans. The area of continents and islands not under icecaps, glaciers, lakes, and inland seas is about 57.5 million...

Preliminary report on ground water in the Salmon Falls area, Twin Falls County, Idaho
Kenneth H. Fowler
1960, Circular 436
The Salmon Falls area contains about 80,000 acres of irrigable land, of which about 30,000 acres receives some water from the distribution system of Salmon River Canal Co., Ltd. This system utilizes virtually all the available surface water. A substantial amount of surface water, estimated to be about 70,000...
Geology and ground water in the Platte-Republican Rivers watershed and the Little Blue River basin above Angus, Nebraska, with a section on chemical quality of the ground water

This report describes an area of about 7,300 square miles in south-central Nebraska. Approximately one-fourth of the area, largely at its east end, consists of an undissected southeastward-sloping upland plain and is almost wholly irrigable; the remainder is in various stages of dissection and only parts of it are suitable...

Strategic graphite, a survey
Eugene N. Cameron, Paul L. Weis
1960, Bulletin 1082-E
Strategic graphite consists of certain grades of lump and flake graphite for which the United States is largely or entirely dependent on sources abroad.

Geology and fluorspar deposits, Northgate district, Colorado
Thomas A. Steven
1960, Bulletin 1082-F
The fluorspar deposits in the Northgate district, Jackson County, Colo., are among the largest in Western United States. The mines were operated intermittently during the 1920's and again during World War II, but production during these early periods of operation was not large. Mining was begun on a larger scale...
