Seismic cross sections across the Spokane River valley and the Hillyard Trough, Idaho and Washington
R. C. Newcomb, and others
1953, Open-File Report 53-199
Two seismic cross sections were run with a refraction seismograph near Spokane, Wash., in Hay and June 1951. One section trended north-south across the Spokane River valley plain Just east of the Idaho-Washington boundary; the other trended east-west across the strath just north of the Hillyard section of Spokane. Each section...
Ground-water conditions in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin

1953, Water Supply Paper 1229
Three major aquifers underlie the Milwaukee-Waukesha area: sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age, Niagara dolomite of Silurian age, and sand and gravel deposits of Pleistocene age. The Maquoketa shale of Ordovician age acts as a more or less effective seal between the Pleistocene deposits and Niagara dolomite above and the...

Preliminary report on uranium deposits in the Miller Hill area, Carbon County, Wyoming
J. D. Love
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 315
A sequence of radioactive rocks of Miocene (?) age, the Browns Park formation, in the Miller Hill area of southern Wyoming is more than 1,000 feet thick. The formation crops out in an area of approximately 600 square miles, and consists of a basal conglomerate, tuffs, tuffaceous limy sandstones, and...
Radioactive deposits of Nevada
T.G. Lovering
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 169
Thirty-five occurrences of radioactive rocks had been reported from Nevada prior to 1952. Twenty-five of these had been investigated by the U. S. Geological Survey and the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Of those investigated, uranium minerals were identified in 13; two contained a thorium mineral (monazite); the source...
Beaverhead formation, a Laramide deposit in Beaverhead County, Montana
