Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the Darby Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1948
Walter S. West
1953, Circular 300
Radioactivity in the southern and eastern parts of the Darby Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, appears to be directly related to the occurrence of granite. Concentrates from placers derived from areas containing granite are more radioactive than concentrates from placers not derived from the granite and, generally, contain from 0.01 to...
Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands region, Alaska
M.G. White, P.L. Killeen
1953, Circular 255
Investigations in 1947 in the Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim region, Alaska found that previously reported radioactivity in the vicinity of Flat is due to uraniferous zircon, an accessory mineral in monzonite. The monzonite intrudes mafic igneous and Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The maximum equivalent-uranium content of the zircon is 0.14 percent, and...

Surface water supply of the United States, 1951. Part 8. Western Gulf of Mexico basins
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1953, Water Supply Paper 1212
This volume is one of a series of 18 reports presenting measurements of stage, discharge, and content of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the water year ending September 30, 1951. Since 1888, when the United States Geological Survey first studied streamflow in relation to problems of...
Correlation of the Cretaceous formations of Greenland and Alaska
Ralph Willard Imlay, John B. Reeside Jr.
1953, Open-File Report 53-135
This is Number 10d of a series of correlation charts prepared for the Committee on Stratigraphy of the National Research Council. It has been sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey and has required about seven months' time of both authors gathering and compiling data and evaluating fossil evidence. As...

Geology of the Olds Mountain-Clark Peak area, Juneau and vicinity, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury
1953, Open-File Report 53-231
The area under study lies about ten miles east of Juneau, Alaska, and includes the bedded rocks adjacent to the Coast Range batholith, and intrusive rocks related to the batholith. Deep glaciated valleys and glacially scoured rocks are the major topographic features. The relief is about 3,500 feet, and the highest...
Geology and coal deposits of Jarvis Creek coalfield, Alaska
Clyde Wahrhaftig, C.A. Hickcox
1953, Open-File Report 53-263
The Jarvis Creek coal field lies on the north side of the Alaska Range between latitudes 63°35' and 63°45 N., and longitudes 145°40' and 145°50 W. It is 2 to 6 miles east of the Richardson Highway. The coal field is about 16 square miles in area, the major part...

Marine geology of the Near Islands Shelf, Alaska
Philip Challacombe Scruton
1953, Open-File Report 53-245
During the summer of 1950 on the insular shelf surrounding the Near Islands, Alaska, 193 oceanographic stations were occupied from aboard the U. S. Geological Survey vessel EIDER. Bottom character and temperature observations were made at these stations. The composition and size distribution characteristics of the bottom samples have been...
Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the vicinity of Teller and Cape Nome, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1946-47
Max Gregg White, W.S. West, J.J. Matzko
1953, Circular 244
Placer-mining areas and bedrock exposures near Teller on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, were investigated in June and July, 1946, for possible sources of radioactive materials. The areas that were investigated are: Dese Creek, southeast of Teller; Bluestone River basin, south and southeast of Teller; Sunset Creek and other small streams...
Quaternary geology of the Nenana River and adjacent parts of the Alaska Range, Alaska
Clyde Wahrhaftig
1953, Open-File Report 53-262
The Nenana River flows northward across the Alaska Range near 149° west longitude. Sedimentary bedrock formations of its basin include pre-Cambrian schist undifferentiated Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks, continental upper Cretaceous rocks and poorly consolidated continental Tertiary rocks. Igneous rocks include pre Devonian quartz orthoclase schist, greenstone, granitic and basic intrusives...
Potential industrial sites in the Lynn Canal area, Alaska
Arthur Johnson, William Stephens Twenhofel
1953, Circular 280
Full development of a proposal to divert the headwaters of the Yukon River drainage from Canada into the Taiya River valley of Alaska would make available more than a half million kilowatts of electrical energy. Utilization of this block of power, for which there is at present no local market,...
