Floods of Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, January-February 1937, with a section on the Flood deposits of the Ohio River, January-February 1937
Nathan Clifford Grover, George Rogers Mansfield
1938, Water Supply Paper 838
In January and February 1937 the Ohio and mid-Mississippi Rivers experienced floods which, over reaches many hundreds of miles in length, exceeded all previously recorded stages. When measured by the loss of life and property, extent of damage, and general disruption of human activities, these floods constituted a major catastrophe. The...

Thermal springs in the United States
Norah D. Stearns, Harold T. Stearns, Gerald A. Waring
1937, Water Supply Paper 679-B
The earliest extensive studies of thermal springs in the United States were made by physicians. In 1831 Dr. John Bell issued a book entitled "Baths and Mineral Waters" in which he listed 21 spring localities. In the edition of his work published in 1855 the number was increased to 181....
Ground‐water in Utah
George H. Taylor
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 536-541
In common with many of the arid and semiarid States, the prosperity of Utah probably is more dependent upon the amount of water available than upon any other natural resource. Although only about four per cent of the State is irrigated, a shortage of water for irrigation becomes a major...
Extraordinary topaz‐replacement body in the Brewer Mine, South Carolina
Jewell J. Glass
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 243-246
A large body of massive topaz forms a part of the gold‐bearing lode at the Brewer Mine, South Carolina. This gold‐mine was opened 100 years ago and merits the distinction of being one of the early gold‐discoveries of the Southern Appalachian Region. The Brewer Mine is located near Jefferson, in...

Ground-water resources of Kleberg County, Texas
Penn Poore Livingston, Thomas W. Bridges
1936, Water Supply Paper 773-D
Abundant supplies of fresh water are obtained from deep artesian wells In all parts of Kleberg County. The water is derived from a stratum of sand, 10 to 150 feet thick, which usually has been referred to the Goliad sand but possibly may be at the base of the LIssie...

W. H. Bradley
1936, Professional Paper 185-I
The Uinta Mountains, whose northern margin is almost coincident with the southern boundary of Wyoming, extend from the Wasatch Range eastward across the northern part of Utah into northwestern Colorado. They were carved out of a large, simple anticlinal fold of sedimentary rocks arched up into essentially their present...
Means of recognizing source beds
P.D. Trask, H.W. Patnode
1936, Conference Paper
Eight characteristics of sediments are considered as possible means of recognizing source beds: 1, quantity of organic matter in the sediments; 2, reducing power, which is a measure of ability of the sediments to reduce chromic acid; 3, color of sediments; 4, volatility of sediments; 5, degree of volatility, which...
