In 1960, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Kentucky Geological Survey began a program to map the State geologically at a scale of 1:24,000 and to publish the maps as 707 U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Quadrangle Maps. Fieldwork was completed by the spring of 1977, and all maps were published...
Effects of surface mining on water quality in a small watershed, Sullivan County, Indiana
James G. Peters
1981, Open-File Report 81-543
The water quality in an unnamed tributary to Spencer Creek upstream and downstream from a surface mine and in South Lake adjacent to the mine were monitored during a 5-year study (1975-79) in the 1,210-acre watershed of the tributary. Compared with the background values, pH and concentrations of all major...

Map showing paleontological control of Paleozoic stratigraphy in New England
Marland P. Billings, Peter T. Lyttle
1981, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1302
Assignment of Phanerozoic stratigraphic units to their proper place in the geologica time scale is based primarily on paleontology. Radiometric methods are becoming increasingly important (Naylor, 1976), particularly where paleontological data are lacking. This map and text are concerned only with the paleontological data bearing on the Paleozoic stratigraphy of...

Assessment of the Santa Margarita Sandstone as a source of drinking water for the Scotts Valley area, Santa Cruz County, California
K. S. Muir
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-6
Scotts Valley, Calif., is a rural residential area with a rapidly expanding population. Its mediterranean-type climate yields an average annual rainfall of 40 inches. The Santa Margarita Sandstone is the principal aquifer in the area, supplying about 90 percent of all water for domestic purposes. Sources of recharge for the...

John O. Helgesen, Allan C. Razem
1981, Open-File Report 81-913
Ground-water conditions during coal strip mining in two small watersheds are described as part of an ongoing study of effects of mining on hydrologic systems. Both watersheds were underlain by stratified sedimentary rocks containing two perched aquifers above clay beds which underlaid the major coal seams. Mining involved removing the...
