Lower middle ordovician of south-central Pennsylvania
Lawrence C. Craig
1949, GSA Bulletin (60) 707-779
Broad paleostructural development in south-central Pennsylvania and Maryland was similar to that of central and eastern New York during the deposition of lower Middle Ordovician beds. Thick marine limestones of the easternmost belts of outcrop in the Cumberland Valley indicate the southward extension of the Champlain miogeosyncline. Thin and, in...
Cleavage in east‐central Vermont
Walter S. White
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 587-594
Two types of cleavage, schistosity (flow cleavage) and slip cleavage, are common in the metamorphosed sediments of east‐central Vermont. Two generations of cleavage are also recognized. Cleavage of the earlier stage of deformation is schistosity, and is generally parallel to bedding. Just west of the Monroe Fault, along the eastern...

1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 539-542
The City of Bountiful, Utah, is situated just beyond the eastern edge of an area where alluvial gravel and sand of Pleistocene and probably Tertiary age yield water by artesian flow. Attempts to recharge these aquifers by diversion of surplus stream water into a spreading canal east of the city...
Vestigial zinc in surface residuum associated with primary zinc ore in East Tennessee
Herbert Edwin Hawkes, Herbert Williams Lakin
1949, Economic Geology (44) 286-295
A series of samples of residual clay at the Friends Station zinc deposit, Tenn., was collected and analyzed for zinc. Results indicate that residuum containing 0.05 percent Zn and more is the product of weathering of limestone and dolomite containing zinc mineralization. Chemical analysis of residual clays for zinc shows...

The seismograph data from Line 27-48 of Party 47 indicates the possibility of a high angle fault win a displacement of roughly 1,000 feet under South Barrow Test Well No. 2. This fault vas discussed in E. Wiancko's report for United Geophysical Company entitled "Report of Reflection Seismograph Survey in...
Age and growth of the lake whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis (Mitchill), in Lake Erie
John Van Oosten, Ralph Hile
1949, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (77) 178-249
Although the whitefish has by no means ranked first from the standpoint of production, it has always been an important commercial species in Lake Erie. Trends in the output of whitefish have differed in the United States and Canadian waters of the lake. The 1893–1946 average annual yield of 1,201,000...
Ground water in the East Shore area, Utah. Part I. Bountiful District, Davis County
H. E. Thomas, W.B. Nelson
1948, Technical Publication 5
The Bountiful district in Davis County, Utah, less than 10 miles from the heart of Salt Lake City, is rapidly becoming an integral part of the metropolitan area of Salt Lake City. It cannot achieve the development that its location merits unless the present water supplies are increased. The district...

A letter from Lloyd L. Bowser, City Clerk, dated January 8, 1948, in behalf of the town council and Mayor Walter Casey, indicates that a serious shortage of water is faced by the town of Blanchard, McClain County, Oklahoma. The town is near the eastern boundary of Grady County, where...
Ground water available in the Davenport area, Oklahoma
Stuart L. Schoff
1948, Open-File Report 48-83
This memorandum describes the ground-water resources in the vicinity of Davenport, Lincoln County, Oklahoma. It is based on a one-day trip to Davenport made by the writer on February 11, 1948, to obtain information in addition to that in the ground-water files in Norman on the availability of ground water...
Preliminary geologic report of Sadlerochit River area, 1948
Charles L. Whittington, Edward G. Sable
1948, Open-File Report 54-333
"The Sadlerochit River area" is the name that has been applied for purposes of convenience to that portion of the eastern part of the northern Alaska shown in Figure 1. The map covers an area of about 1400 square miles. The center of this map is a point approximately 55...

Floods in Colorado
Robert Follansbee, Leon R. Sawyer
1948, Water Supply Paper 997
The first records of floods in Colorado antedated the settlement of the State by about 30 years. These were records of floods on the Arkansas and Republican Rivers in 1826. Other floods noted by traders, hunters and emigrants, some of whom were on their way to the Far West, occurred...

The batholith of Southern and Lower California is exposed continuously from near Riverside, California, southward for a distance of about 350 miles. In central Lower California it is covered in part by younger rocks, but discontinuous bodies extend to the southern end of Lower California, and hence the batholith is...
