The Snake River Plain and tributary valleys south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho (here called the South Side area), contain about 180,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 145,000 acres is irrigated with surface water and 35,000 is irrigated wholly or partly with ground water. The area also contains...
Water requirements of the rayon- and acetate-fiber industry
Orville Durey Mussey
1957, Water Supply Paper 1330-D
Water is required for several purposes in the manufacture of rayon and acetate fiber. These water requirements, as indicated by a survey of the water used by the plants operating in 1953, are both quantitative and qualitative. About 300 mgd (million gallons per day) of water was used in 1953...

Geology and ground-water resources of Outagamie County, Wisconsin
E. F. LeRoux
1957, Water Supply Paper 1421
Outagamie County is in east-central Wisconsin. It has no serious groundwater problem at present, but the county is important as a recharge area for the principal aquifers supplying water to Brown County and industrial Green Bay to the east. The county is covered by glacial drift and lake deposits of the...

Lithofacies of the salt wash member of the Morrison Formation, Colorado plateau
T. E. Mullens, V. L. Freeman
1957, Geological Society of America Bulletin (68) 505-526
The Salt Wash is the basal member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in parts of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. Deposited by streams, it comprises lenticular beds of cross-laminated sandstone irregularly interbedded with mudstone, siltstone, claystone, and horizontally laminated sandstone. The term "lithofacies," as used in this paper,...
Franciscan group in Coast Ranges and its equivalents in Sacramento Valley, California
William P. Irwin
1957, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (41) 2284-2297
The Franciscan group is an assemblage of detrital and chemical sedimentary and volcanic rocks that crops out discontinuously in a structurally complex, northwesterly trending belt along the Coast Ranges of Cahfornia. On the east, along the west side of the Sacramento Valley, a thick section of detrital sedimentary rocks has...
Eastern and central Montana as a possible source area of uranium
Frank Clarkson Armstrong
1957, Economic Geology (52) 211-224
Geologic settings in central and eastern Montana and in a few places in southwestern Montana are similar to the settings in areas favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Several areas in Montana seem especially favorable for the occurrence of uranium.The alkalic igneous rock province of central Montana is similar...
On the postglacial history of the Devils Lake Region, North Dakota
Saul Aronow
1957, The Journal of Geology (65) 410-427
Devils and Stump lakes in eastern North Dakota have been diminishing in area more or less continuously since the land around them was settled in the 1880's. Desiccations similar to the current one have occurred at least once and possibly two or more times in the past and are indicated...
