1962, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 175
Mining and smelting of iron ore in Alabama, northwestern Georgia, and eastern Tennessee date almost to Revolutionary War days, bus substantial production in the Southeast was not attained until after 1850. Numerous furnaces were erected int the region, especially in and near Birmingham, Ala., which is still the principal iron...

Notes on earth fissures in southern Arizona
G.M. Robinson, D.E. Peterson
1962, Circular 466
This report describes earth fissures at six sites in southern Arizona. These notes are preliminary to a more extensive study and detailed analysis being prepared by hydrologists in the Water Resources Division. Earth fissures were first recorded in Arizona in 1927, and have been noticed with increasing frequency since 1949....
Ground-water studies and analog models
Charles Joseph Robinove
1962, Circular 468
Hydrologists make ground-water studies to aid managers and users of water resources in solving their problems in the development and management of ground water. Geologic and hydrologic information provides the basic knowledge for construction of electric analog models that portray the ground-water system in miniature. Analog models can be analyzed...

Current studies of the hydrology of prairie potholes
Jelmer B. Shjeflo
1962, Circular 472
The prairie potholes in the North-Central States and in Canada are of glacial origin. Because many of them contain ponds or marshes, they are important in the production of livestock and waterfowl. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the amount of water that accumulates in and is...
Floods of December 1961 in Mississippi and adjoining states
James D. Shell
1962, Circular 465
Widespread floods occurred over parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama after heavy rains during December 18, 1961. A series of low-pressure systems produced as much as 19 inches of rainfall in some areas. Heavy rainfall, 7 to 11 inches, on December 10 resulted in outstanding floods on small streams in...

Floods in New Mexico, magnitude and frequency
Leon A. Wiard
1962, Circular 464
This report presents a method of determining the magnitude and frequency of floods that can be expected in New Mexico The discharge of the mean annual flood for various regions in the State is defined. Curves relate mean annual flood and drainage area. Drainage area was the only basin characteristic...
A national network of hydrological benchmarks
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, Circular 460-B
We are engaged in great national programs of water control and development. An expanding population demands ever-increasing supplies of the natural resources which are to be found in or upon the landscape soil, water, minerals, food, timber, and fiber. By his works, by his extractions, man's mark upon his environment...

Floods in Utah, magnitude and frequency
Vernon K. Berwick
1962, Circular 457
This report presents a procedure for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods, within the range of the base data, for any site, gaged or ungaged. From the relation of annual floods to the mean annual flood, a composite frequency curve was derived for recurrence intervals of 1.1 to 50...
The man and the hill
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, Circular 460-A
He was sitting on a large slab of rock. As he looked at the cloud of dust hanging hazily on the horizon, the piece of antler and the block of flint he held in his hand hung as if they were suspended from their previous rapid motion. The man gazed...
Sediment discharge during floods in eastern Nebraska
J. C. Mundorff
1962, Circular 470
Runoff resulting from rapid melting of a deep snow cover over much of eastern Nebraska resulted in exceptionally high stream stages and in severe flooding on many streams in eastern Nebraska during the latter part of March and the early part of April in 1960. Suspended-sediment concentrations and discharges for...

William Stewart Eisenlohr
1962, Circular 461
In making reconnaissances for water supplies on the public domain as part of the Soil and Moisture Conservation Program of the Department of the Interior, the Geological Survey obtains information on the availability of water that is useful for other purposes or in other areas. This report contains the information...
