Ground-water resources of Rusk County, Texas
W.M. Sandeen
1984, Open-File Report 83-757
Fresh to slightly saline water is available in most parts of Rusk County, which is located in the Piney Woods region of northeast Texas. The Wilcox aquifer, which underlies the entire county, was the source of most of the ground water withdrawn during 1980. Other units capable of yielding fresh...
Stratigraphy and structure of the western Kentucky fluorspar district
R. D. Trace, D.H. Amos
1984, Professional Paper 1151-D
The western Kentucky fluorspar district is part of the larger Illinois-Kentucky fluorspar district, the largest producer of fluorspar in the United States. This report is based largely on data gathered from 1960 to 1974 during the U.S. Geological Survey-Kentucky Geological Survey cooperative geologic mapping program of Kentucky. It deals chiefly...

The thrust belt in Southwest Montana and east-central Idaho
Edward T. Ruppel, David A. Lopez
1984, Professional Paper 1278
The leading edge of the Cordilleran fold and thrust in southwest Montana appears to be a continuation of the edge of the Wyoming thrust belt, projected northward beneath the Snake River Plain. Trces of the thrust faults that form the leading edge of the thrust belts are mostly concealed, but...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Muskrat
Arthur W. Allen, Robert D. Hoffman
1984, FWS/OBS 82/10.46
The muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) is the most valuable semi-aquatic furbearer in North America, with a total fur trade income in the millions of dollars (Willner et al. 1980). With the exception of Florida, and coastal Georgia and South Carol ina, native and introduced populations of muskrats occur throughout most of...
Trepostome and cystoporate bryozoans from the Lexington Limestone and the Clays Ferry Formation (Middle and Upper Ordovician) of Kentucky
O.L. Karklins
1984, Professional Paper 1066-I
The Lexington Limestone and the Clays Ferry Formation of Kentucky contain an abundant and diversified fossil invertebrate fauna. This report is concerned with the trepostome and cystoporate bryozoans that constitute a major part of that fauna. The Lexington Limestone, largely a biofragmental fossiliferous limestone, rests disconformably on the Tyrone Limestone...
Leperditicopid ostracodes from Ordovician rocks of Kentucky and nearby states and characteristic features of the order Leperditicopida
J.M. Berdan
1984, Professional Paper 1066-J
Leperditicopid ostracodes from the Ordovician formations of Kentucky occur in micritic to fine-grained carbonate rocks believed to represent shallow-water facies. They are found at widely separated horizons in the Middle Ordovician High Bridge Group, the Middle and Upper Ordovician Lexington Limestone, and the Upper Ordovician Ashlock, Bull Fork, and Drakes...
The evolution of the southern California uplift, 1955 through 1976
Robert O. Castle, Michael R. Elliot, Jack P. Church, Spencer H. Wood
1984, Professional Paper 1342
The southern California uplift culminated in 1974 as a 150- km-wide crustal swell that extended about 600 km eastward and east-southeastward from Point Arguello to the Colorado River and Salton Sea, respectively; it was characterized by remarkably uniform height changes between 1959 and 1974 of 0.30-0.35 m over at least...

Habitat Suitability Index Models: American black duck (wintering)
James C. Lewis, Russell L. Garrison
1984, FWS/OBS 82/10.68
INTRODUCTION The American black duck, commonly known as the black duck, is migratory and has a wide geographic range. American black ducks breed from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, west to the Mississippi River and north through the eastern Canadian boreal forest (Bellrose 1976). The winter range extends from the Rio Grande...

Water resources and potential hydrologic effects of oil-shale development in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
K.L. Lindskov, B. A. Kimball
1984, Professional Paper 1307
Proposed oil-shale mining in northeastern Utah is expected to impact the water resources of a 3,000-square-mile area. This report summarizes a comprehensive hydrologic investigation of the area which resulted in 13 published reports. Hydrologic information obtained during 1974-80 was used to evaluate the availability of water and to evaluate potential...

Basic concepts of kinematic-wave models
J.E. Miller
1984, Professional Paper 1302
The kinematic-wave model is one of a number of approximations of the dynamic-wave model. The dynamic-wave model describes onedimensional shallow-water waves (unsteady, gradually varied, openchannel flow). This report provides a basic reference on the theory and applications of the kinematic-wave model and describes the limitations of the model in relation...

The wa rmouth (Lepomi s gul osus) occurs naturally throughout the central and southeastern United States. It is distributed throughout Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri, north to southern Wisconsin, lower Michigan, Lake Erie, and western Pennsylvania, and south to Florida and west through the Gulf States to the Rio Grande (Hubbs...

1984, Professional Paper 1295
The Glastonbury dome is a long, narrow structure trending approximately 70 km north-northeast through Connecticut and Massachusetts along the west side of the Bronson Hill anticlinorium. Structurally and stratigraphically the dome is analogous to the Oliverian domes of New Hampshire. It is cored by Glastonbury Gneiss and is mantled by...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Pronghorn
Arthur W. Allen, John G. Cook, Michael J. Armbruster
1984, FWS/OBS 82/10.65
This is one of a series of publications that provide information on the habitat requirements of selected fish and wildlife species. Literature describing the relationship between habitat variables related to life requisites and habitat suitability for the pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) are synthesized. These data are subsequently used to develop Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) models. The...
