Geology and water availability of Cullman County, Alabama
Robert J. Faust, Patrick O. Jefferson
1975, Open-File Report 75-451
The Pottsville Formation of Pennsylvanian age underlies most of Cullaman County in northern Alabama. It consists mostly of interbedded sandstones and shales that dip southward about 40 feet per mile. The Bangor Limestone of Mississippian age underlies the Pottsville and crops out in a few valleys along the northern boundary of...
Evaluation and proposed study of potential ground-water supplies, Gallup area, New Mexico
William L. Hiss
1975, Open-File Report 75-522
The ground-water potential of 5 areas in central-western New Mexico within 85 miles (135 km) of Gallup, N. Mex. was evaluated by reviewing the published literature, inspecting aerial and space photographs, and interviewing ranchers and personnel employed by well-drilling and mineral-exploration companies by telephone. The San Andres Limestone and underlying...
A Study of earthquake losses in the Puget Sound, Washington, area
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1975, Open-File Report 75-375
The Puget Sound Basin has a history of frequent seismic activity, including two recent damaging events. The greatest extent of urban development and the most densely populated area generally correspond to the area where the greatest energy release has been experienced. For this study two earthquakes have been simulated, each...
Flood of April 1975 at East Lansing, Michigan
R. L. Knutilla, L.A. Swallow
1975, Open-File Report 75-299
On April 18 between 5 p.m. and 12 p.m. the city of East Lansing experienced an intense rainstorm that caused the Red Cedar River to overflow its banks, resulting in the most devastating flood since 1904.  During the period of flooding the U.S. Geological Survey obtained aerial photography of the...
Hydrology of three sinkhole basins in southwestern Seminole County, Florida
Warren Anderson, G.H. Hughes
1975, Open-File Report 75-27
The southwestern part of Seminole County--in east-central Florida-is characterized by sinkholes formed by the subsidence of surficial deposits into solution cavities in the underlying limestone deposits. The area includes three sinkhole basins created by such subsidence: Cranes Roost, Palm Springs, and Grace Lake.Cranes Roost basin (drainage area, 5.02 square miles)...
Perspective diagrams showing geochemical abundance of silver, lanthanum, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, yttrium, and zinc in the Nabesna Quadrangle, Alaska
Sherman P. Marsh
1975, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 655-G
The seven perspective diagrams on this sheet show the distribution patterns of silver, lanthanum, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, yttrium, and zinc in stream sediments in the Nabesna quadrangle. The diagrams portray the distribution and abundance of the elements and their relation to some of the geologic units (Richter, 1975) in easy-to-visualize,...
Digital models of a glacial outwash aquifer in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area, west-central Minnesota
S. P. Larson, Mark S. McBride, R. J. Wolf
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-40
-p^e need for study of lake-ground-water interchange has been accentuated by eutrophication of lakes in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area of west-central Minnesota. The local ground-water flow system is dominated by an outwash aquifer that is sandwiched between two till layers in the western part of the area and exposed at...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1969
J.K. Reid
1975, Water Supply Paper 2030
The most outstanding floods in the United States during 1969 are described in chronological order. The areas most seriously affected by flooding were: Central and southern California (January and February); the upper Midwestern States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois (April); north-central Ohio (July); Mississippi, Alabama,...
A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed, Warren County, Indiana
Mark A. Ayers
1975, Open-File Report 75-323
A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed was made September 24 and 25, 1974. Surface waters within the watershed were calcium bicarbonate types with very similar concentrations of major dissolved constituents and specific conductance values. Streamwaters contained less than 0.26 milligram per litre dissolved nitrate (as N), 0.03 milligram...
Geology, physical properties, and surface effects at Discus Thrower Site, Yucca Flat, Nevada test site
Wilfred James Carr, C.H. Miller, Harry W. Dodge
1975, Open-File Report 75-410
Geologic studies in connection with Project Discus Thrower have furnished detailed stratigraphic and structural information about northwestern Yucca Flat. The Paleozoic rocks consist of a lower carbonate sequence, argillite of the Eleana Formation, and an upper carbonate sequence. The distribution of these rocks suggests that both top and bottom of...
Floodflow characteristics at proposed bridge sites on Mohawk River, Whitesboro, New York
Bernard Dunn
1975, Open-File Report 75-442
An evaluation of floodflow characteristics at the proposed bridge site revealed that:1.The design-flood discharge for the proposed bridge site would be 18,200 cubic feet per second (515 cubic metres per second), which is about equal to the discharge for the 100-year flood.2.The elevation at the bridge site for the flood...
