Explanation to accompany reconnaissance geologic map of the De Long Mountains A3, B3, and parts of A4, B4 quadrangles, Alaska
Charles F. Mayfield, S.M. Curtis, Inyo Ellersieck, I.L. Tailleur
1983, Open-File Report 83-183
This map is one of a series of three reconnaissance geologic maps of the southern De Long Mountains quadrangle (fig. 1). Because the geology in the three map areas is similar, a composite map explanation has been designed to facilitate their combined use and give a better perspective of the...
Effect of urbanization on the water resources of Warminster Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto, D.K. Davis
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4020
Rapid suburban development occurred in Warminster Township and the surrounding area after World War II, resulting in a large population dependent on ground water. In 1980, approximately 2.7 billion gallons of ground water was pumped by public water suppliers and government facilities. Pumping wells can cause drawdown as far as...
Methods for estimating peak discharge and flood boundaries of streams in Utah
B. E. Thomas, K.L. Lindskov
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4129
Equations for estimating 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year peak discharges and flood depths at ungaged sites in Utah were developed using multiple-regression techniques. Ratios of 500- to 100-year values also were determined. The peak discharge equations are applicable to unregulated streams and the flood depth equations are applicable...
Sketch maps, sections and laboratory analyses of peat resources in deposits of southern and western Maine
Cornelia Clermont Cameron, Michael K. Mullen
1983, Open-File Report 83-18
Peat deposits in southern and western Maine were investigated for their estimated potential as peat resources suitable for energy, horticultural, and agricultural uses. Fifty-six sketch maps illustrate the areal extent, thickness, and amount of commercial-quality peat. The total yield is estimated at 27,736,400 short tons air-dried peat. Ash content is...
Quaternary geologic map of the Chicago 4 degrees x 6 degrees quadrangle, United States
Ned K. Bleuer, David M. Mickelson, William R. Farrand, Richard P. Goldthwait, David S. Fullerton
Gerald M. Richmond, editor(s)
1983, IMAP 1420(NK-16)
The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Chicago 4 degree x 6 degree Quadrangle was mapped as part of the Quaternary Geologic Atlas of the United States. The atlas was begun as an effort to depict the areal distribution of surficial geologic deposits and other materials that accumulated or formed during...
Hydrology of the Ogallala aquifer in Ford County, southwestern Kansas
J. M. Spinazola, M.T. Dealy
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4226
The rapid increase of ground-water withdrawal has caused concern over the future use of the Ogallala aquifer, the principal source of water in Ford County, in southwestern Kansas. Saturated portions of deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary age--excluding the Arkansas River alluvium--form the Ogallala aquifer. Saturated thickness of the Ogallala ranged...
Operation of hydrologic data collection stations by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1983
Alberto Condes de la Torre
1983, Open-File Report 83-862
The U.S. Geological Survey operated hydrologic data collection stations during 1983 in response to the needs of all levels of Government for hydrologic information. Surface-water discharge was determined at 11,076 stations; stage data on streams, reservoirs, and lakes were recorded at 2,136 stations; and surface-water quality was determined at 4,610...
Water resources of the Fort Union coal region, east-central Montana
S.E. Slagle
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4151
The shallow ground-water system in the Fort Union coal region overlies the Upper Cretaceous Bearpaw Shale. It includes the Upper Cretaceous Fox Hills Sandstone and the overlying Hell Creek Formation, Paleocene Fort Union Formation, and Pleistocene and Holocene glacial deposits, terrace deposits, and alluvium. Two general flow patterns are present...
Stratigraphy and paleontology of Mid-Cretaceous rocks in Minnesota and contiguous areas
William Aubrey Cobban, E.A. Merewether
1983, Professional Paper 1253
PART A: Molluscan fossils are locally abundant at outcrops of Upper Cretaceous rocks in eastern North and South Dakota, northeastern Nebraska, northwestern Iowa, and western and northern Minnesota. Other Cretaceous mollusks have been found in the glacial deposits in Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. The oldest well dated marine mollusks are...
Groundwater resources of the Dallas-Monmouth area, Polk, Benton, and Marion Counties, Oregon
Joseph B. Gonthier
1983, Open-File Report 80-678
The Dallas-Monmouth area is in the west-central Willamette Valley of western Oregon. It comprises a total of about 400 square miles in Polk, Benton, and Marion Counties. Tertiary consolidated rocks underlie the entire area. These rocks include marine sandstone, siltstone, shale, tuff, basalt, and gabbro. In the lowlands, the consolidated...
Proposed program for and present status of the Geological Survey's investigation of domestic resources of radioactive raw materials
A.P. Bulter Jr., P.L. Killeen, G.B. Page, W.W. Rubey
1983, Trace Elements Investigations 35
This interim report is designed to show the present status of the Geological Survey's information and the parts of a comprehensive program necessary to improve our information about the raw material resources of uranium and thorium. Rarely in geologic work has it been necessary. to determine so completely a nation's...
The fallout rate of PB-210 on the western coast of the United States
Christopher Fuller, Douglas E. Hammond
1983, Geophysical Research Letters (10) 1164-1167
The deposition rate of atmospheric Pb-210 has been measured during a one year period using plastic funnels as collectors. Observed rates were 0.15 dpm cm−2 yr−1 at a site in Palo Alto, California and 0.21 dpm cm−2 yr−1 at a site in Los Angeles. The Palo Alto value agrees well with a long-term average...
