Estimating peak discharges of small rural streams in Massachusetts
S. William Wandle Jr.
1982, Open-File Report 80-676
Floodflows on natural-flow streams in Massachusetts with drainage areas between 0.25 square miles and 260 square miles may be estimated from drainage area, main-channel slope, mean basin elevation, and the area of swamps, lakes, and ponds. Multiple-regression techniques were used to define the relationship between a suite of basin and...

Preliminary geological investigation of the Bir Hayzan diatomite deposit, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a section on selected physical properties and implications for future geophysical exploration
J.W. Whitney, M. E. Gettings
1982, Open-File Report 82-1046
A 2.2-m-thick lake bed composed entirely of diatomite was found in the southwestern arm of the Nafud sand sea, about 67 km east of Tayma in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Its stratigraphic position above eolian sand and below a large barchanoid dune indicates deposition during an exceptional period of pluvial climate...
Intrusive rocks of the Holden and Lucerne quadrangles, Washington— The relation of depth zones, composition, textures, and emplacement of plutons
Fred W. Cater
1982, Professional Paper 1220
The core of the northern Cascade Range in Washington consists of Precambrian and upper Paleozoic metamorphic rocks cut by numerous plutons, ranging in age from early Triassic to Miocene. The older plutons have been eroded to catazonal depths, whereas subvolcanic rocks are exposed in the youngest plutons. The Holden and...
Contour map showing minimum depth to ground water, upper Santa Ana River valley, California, 1973-1979
Scott E. Carson, Jonathan C. Matti
1982, Open-File Report 82-1128
A contour map showing minimum depth to ground water from 1973 through 1979 was constructed for the upper Santa Ana River valley region. The map was prepared as an initial step in an ongoing liquefaction-potential study, but is not a liquefaction-hazard map. The contour map indicates where ground water shallower...

Mineral resource potential map of the Gila-San Francisco Wilderness Study Area, Graham and Greenlee counties, Arizona
Donlad H. Richter, Douglas P. Klein, Viki A. Lawrence, Michael Lane
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1315-B
The mineral resource potential of the Gila-San Francisco Wilderness Study Area (AZ-040-022/023/024) is low (fig. 2). Although favorable geologic environments for placer gold deposits and manganese vein deposits are present in the study area, the probability of discovering economically exploitable deposits of these metals is low, and not encouraging. Even...

A geologic, geophysical, and geochemical investigation and a survey of mines, quarries, and prospects have been conducted to evaluate the mineral resource potential of the Lost Cove and Harper Creek Roadless Areas, Avery and Caldwell Counties, North Carolina. The study area lies within the Blue Ridge physiographic province and is...

Map showing some potential effects of petroleum spills on shorelines of the Port Townsend quadrangle, central Puget Sound region, Washington
R. F. Keuler
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1238
Waterborne transport of crude oil into the Puget Sound region has increased rapidly since 1972 and may take another sharp increase during the next few years. In 1972, waterborne delivery of petroleum averaged 45,000 bdp (barrels per day); by 1972, the average had increased to 105,000 bpd (Pizzo and others,...
Mineral resource potential map of the Whitewater Wilderness Study Area, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, California

1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1478-A
Geological, geochemical, and geophysical evidence, together with a 'review of historical mining and prospecting activities, suggests that most of the Whitewater Wilderness Study Area has low potential for all types of mineral and energy resources- including precious and base metals, building stone and aggregate, fossil fuels, radioactive-mineral resources, and geothermal resources. One small...

Map projections used by the U.S. Geological Survey
John Parr Snyder
1982, Bulletin 1532
After decades of using only one map projection, the Polyconic, for its mapping program, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) now uses sixteen of the more comnon map projections for its published maps. For larger scale maps, including topographic quadrangles and the State Base Map Series, conformal projections such as the...
