Differences in basin‐characteristics as reflected by precipitation‐runoff relations in San Bernardino and Eastern San Gabriel Mountain drainages
H.M. Stafford, H.C. Troxell
1944, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (25) 21-35
In interpretation and use of basic hydrological data as basis for planning any public works for conservation or control of water, there is great need for a careful and thorough analysis of the precipitation‐runoff relations. Moreover, when such relations may have been worked out for one particular basin, experience has...

In north-central New Mexico the rugged Cimarron Range marks the eastern margin of the Southern Rocky Mountains, abruptly rising more than 5000 feet above the adjacent Great Plains. Structurally the range is a northward-plunging anticline with a core of pre-Cambrian crystalline rocks. Faulting along the eastern and western margins of...
The nickel deposits of Yakobi Island, southeastern Alaska

Some of the large, low‐grade nickel‐copper deposits of Bohemia Basin, Yakobi Island, south‐eastern Alaska, which previously had been mapped and studied by the United States Geological Survey, were explored during parts of 1941 and 1942 by the United States Bureau of Mines. The Gealogical Survey interpreted the geologic features of...
Notes on the early history of water-well drilling in the United States
C.W. Carlston
1943, Economic Geology (38) 119-136
The standard cable-tool drilling rig was invented and developed in drilling salt wells in the West Virginia-Ohio-Pennsylvania region during the twenty years following the successful completion of the first drilled well in 1808 by the Ruffnet brothers at the Great Buffalo Lick near Charleston, West Virginia. Some time previous to...
Eastern Siberia terrain intelligence
U.S. Geological Survey Military Geology Branch
1942, Report
The following folio of terrain intelligence maps, charts and explanatory tables represent an attempt to bring together available data on natural physical conditions such as will affect military operations in Eastern Siberia. The area covered is the easternmost section of the U.S.S.R.; that is the area east of the Yenisei...
Water supply of the Dakota sandstone in the Ellendale-Jamestown area, North Dakota, with reference to changes between 1923 and 1938
Leland Keith Wenzel, H. H. Sand
1942, Water Supply Paper 889-A
The Dakota sandstone underlies most of North Dakota and South Dakota and considerable parts of nearby States. In most of the area that it occupies it is covered with thick deposits of younger formations, chiefly shale, that confine the water in the sandstone under considerable pressure. Where the topography is...

Reconnaissance survey of the Roberts Mountains, Nevada
C.W. Merriam, C.A. Anderson
1942, Geological Society of America Bulletin (53) 1675-1727
The Roberts Mountains region, central Nevada, provides an excellent section of Paleozoic rocks ranging from Upper Cambrian to Permian. Major low-angle thrusting is indicated by deformed Ordovician strata resting on Paleozoics of varying age. Overlying a thick breccia zone, the upper thrust plate consists of sandstones, andesitic flows and tuffs,...
Solution‐phenomena in the Pecos basin in New Mexico
Arthur M. Morgan
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 27-25
The drainage‐basin of the Pecos River in New Mexico is a broad asymmetric trough extending from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains southward into Texas (see Fig. 1). It is bounded on the east by the westward facing escarpment of the High Plains and on the west by the crests of...
Deep‐seated solution in the Meade basin and vicinity, Kansas and Oklahoma
