The Raft River Basin, Idaho-Utah as of 1966: A reappraisal of the water resources and effects of ground-water development
E.H. Walker, L.C. Dutcher, S.O. Decker, K.L. Dyer
1970, Open-File Report 70-355
The Raft River basin, mostly in south-central Idaho and partly in Utah, is a drainage basin of approximately 1,510 square miles. Much arable land in the basin lacks water for irrigation, and the potentially irrigable acreage far exceeds the amount that could be irrigated with the 140,000 acre-feet estimated annual...
Geologic map of the Arvada quadrangle, Colorado
Robert M. Lindvall
1970, Open-File Report 70-198
Many of the engineering-geologic problems in the Arvada quadrangle are related to the unconsolidated surficial deposits, which mantle the bedrock to depths of as much as 40 or 50 feet. In this report most of the emphasis is placed on the map distribution of these materials and on a description...
Various aspects of uranium ore rolls in the United States
Elbert Nelson Harshman
1970, Open-File Report 70-154
About 40 percent of the uranium ore reserves in the United States, minable at $8 per pound of contained U308, are in roll-type deposits in the State of Wyoming. The host rocks are arkosic sandstones, deposited in intermontane basins under fluvial conditions, and derived from the granitic cores of mountain...
Petroleum possibilities of the Yukon-Koyukuk Province, Alaska
William Wallace Patton Jr.
1970, Open-File Report 70-257
The recent discovery of major oil resources on Alaska's North Slope has rekindled interest in the petroleum possibilities of the Yukon-Koyukuk province, a vast tract of Cretaceous rocks stretching along the west coast of Alaska from the Brooks Range to the Yukon delta. Attention was first focused on this region...
Water resources of the River Rouge basin, southeastern Michigan
R. L. Knutilla
1970, Hydrologic Atlas 356
The River Rouge basin is characterized by moderately hilly topography to the northwest graduating to a relatively level land surface to the south east.Stream gradients near the northwestern basin divide are relatively steep; but many become more steep in reaches where they cross beach lines of former glacial lakes. In...
Water resources of the Black River basin, southeastern Michigan
R. L. Knutilla
1970, Hydrologic Atlas 338
The Black River basin is characterized by flat topography in its central part and by more hilly areas located principally along its boundary.Stream gradients are flat, having slopes of less than 10 feet per mile, except in areas near the basin divide and in isolated areas within the basin....
Qualitative analysis of airborne magnetometer data: The Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Donald H. Hase
1970, Open-File Report 70-155
A qualitative analysis and interpretation of magnetic data obtained from airborne magnetometer and scintillometer surveys of the Precambrian Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, show that some rock units and geologic features exhibit characteristic magnetic expressions and anomalies. Circular to elliptical anomalies are attributed to younger intrusive or less commonly...
Morphology, sedimentation, and seismic characteristics of an arctic beach, Nome, Alaska - with economic significances
H. Gary Greene
1970, Open-File Report 70-142
Arctic beaches exhibit characteristics that do not occur on beaches in more temperate zones. In the summer of 1967 morphological, sedimentological, and seismic refraction studies were made on an arctic beach near Nome, Alaska, in order to better define these distinguishing characteristics.Several distinct microrelief structures are developed during ice break-up...
Water laws and concepts
H. E. Thomas
1970, Circular 629
Throughout human history various laws and customs have developed concerning the individual rights and rights in common to the waters of the earth. Many existing laws and concepts are clearly influenced by the environment in which they originated and reflect the relative abundance or scarcity of water. Many concepts reflect...
Water resources of Racine and Kenosha Counties, southeastern Wisconsin
R. D. Hutchinson
1970, Water Supply Paper 1878
Urbanization and changes in regional development in Racine and Kenosha Counties are increasing the need for water-resources information useful for planning and management. The area is fortunate in having abundant supplies of generally good quality water available for present and projected future needs. Lake Michigan and ground-water reservoirs have great...
An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Wadena area, central Minnesota
F.G. Lindholm
1970, Water Supply Paper 1983
The Wadena area is part of a large sandy plain in central Minnesota whose soils have low water-holding capacity. Drought conditions which adversely affect plant growth frequently occur in the summer when moisture is most needed. To reduce the risk of crop failure in the area supplemental irrigation is on...
Hydrologic effects of floodwater-retarding structures on Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, Texas
Clarence R. Gilbert, Stanley P. Sauer
1970, Water Supply Paper 1984
The Texas District of the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has collected and analyzed hydrologic data since 1953 to define the effects of systems of floodwater-retarding structures on downstream water and sediment yield. The district project includes 11 study areas ranging from 18 to 80 square miles...
