H. M. Babcock, E. M. Cushing
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 49-56
Queen Creek, considered in this paper, is a typical large desert wash. It rises in the Pinal Mountains near the mining town of Superior and enters the outwash‐plain at Black Point about three miles north of Florence Junction (see Fig. 1). Thence it passes over the desert in a southwesterly...
Recharge and discharge of the ground‐water reservoirs on the High Plains in Texas
W. L. Broadhurst
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 9-15
The High Plains in Texas occupy an area of about 35,000 square miles extending from the northern boundary of the Panhandle southward about 300 miles, and from the New Mexico line eastward an average distance of about 120 miles to a boundary which in most places is sharply defined by...
Recharge, movement, and discharge in the Edwards Limestone Reservoir, Texas
A.N. Sayre, R.R. Bennett
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 19-27
The Edwards limestone of Lower Cretaceous age is the principal water‐bearing formation in a belt 5 to 25 miles wide that extends from Austin southwest to San Antonio and thence west through Uvalde and Del Rio to Comstock, a distance of about 250 miles (see Fig. 1). Throughout this belt...
Solution‐phenomena in the Pecos basin in New Mexico
Arthur M. Morgan
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 27-25
The drainage‐basin of the Pecos River in New Mexico is a broad asymmetric trough extending from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains southward into Texas (see Fig. 1). It is bounded on the east by the westward facing escarpment of the High Plains and on the west by the crests of...
Quality of stored water available for use in the lower basin of the Pecos River, Texas
C. S. Howard
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 593-598
Storage of water in reservoir s may be for (1) irrigation, (2) power‐generation sometimes in connection with releases for irrigation, (3) flood‐control, (4) recreation, or combinations of these four uses. The control of releases of the stored water may involve conflicts of interests as to the best use of the...
Hydraulic criteria for sand‐waves
Walter B. Langbein
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 615-619
Sand‐waves on rivers are rhythmic successions of waves which occur at flood‐stages of streams heavily loaded with sediments. They take their name from the fact that sand and associated silts and gravels form a large part of the load transported by a river at such times. They seem to be...
Report of Committee on Underground Waters, 1941–42
David G. Thompson
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 467-468
So many ground‐water hydrologists are engaged on problems relating directly to the war that the usual annual inquiry for information as to projects that deserve review in the annual report of the Committee on Underground Waters brought relatively little response. It is in part for this reason, but also in...
Sediment loads in the Moore Creek drainage‐basin, Idaho 1939–40
S. K. Love, Paul Charles Benedict
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 652-657
The Boise River Project in southwestern Idaho comprises an area of about 333,000 acres of highly developed agricultural land. Precipitation in the irrigated valley averages about ten inches a year which is too low to support any but desert vegetation. Water for irrigation during the growing season is obtained from...
Runoff in the Santa Ynez River Basin, California, following the excessive rainfall of 1940–41
G.A. LaRocque Jr.
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 124-129
This paper reports briefly on the runoff‐characteristics of the Santa Ynez River in Santa Barbara County, California, following the excessive rainfall in the winter of 1940–41; also, it contrasts these conditions of 1940–41 with earlier years of less rainfall. The data for this report were compiled in connection with an...
Ground‐water studies in the Southwest
O. E. Meinzer
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 6-9
Geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems that form the crust of the Earth. The groundwater geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems specifically because the open spaces which the rocks contain serve as reservoirs and conduits for water—water which performs a large part of the geologic work that is in progress...
Report of committee on the chemistry of natural waters, 1941–42
C. S. Howard
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 466-467
The membership of the Committee during the past year was as follows: I. A. Dennison, National Bureau of Standards; C S. Howard (Chairman), Geological Survey; C. S. Scofield, Department of Agriculture; D. G. Thompson, Geological Survey; and T. G. Thompson, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.SCOFIELD has continued his studies in...
Origin of the Ayer granodiorite in the Lowell area, Massachusetts
Richard H. Jahns
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 341-342
The elongate stock of Ayer granodiorite exposed north and west of Lowell, Massachusetts, is reasonably typical of the many bodies of granitic rocks in the central and north‐central parts of the State. It lies within a terrane composed predominantly of steeply tilted, thinly inter bedded quartzite and biotite schist, and...
Results of pumping tests of the Carrizo sand in the Lufkin area, Texas
W.F. Guyton
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 40-48
The Lufkin Area, as the term is used in this paper, is comprised of Angelina and Nacogdoches counties, Texas, and parts of adjoining counties. Its surface is gently rolling, with a maximum relief of about 150 feet and a maximum altitude of less than 400 feet. The average annual rainfall...
Manganese-bearing veins in southwestern Virginia
Anna I. Jonas
1942, Economic Geology (37) 408-423
Veins carrying manganese silicates largely in the form of the manganese garnet, spessartite, occur in the crystalline schists and gneisses of Carroll and Grayson Counties, Virginia, in the southern parts of the Galax and Independence quadrangles just north of the North Carolina State line. This brief paper includes a discussion...
Deep‐seated solution in the Meade basin and vicinity, Kansas and Oklahoma
K.C. Frye, S.L. Schoff
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 35-39
During the closing years of the 19th century, Haworth [see 1 and 2 of “References” at end of paper] and Johnson [3] noted the abundant depressions resembling sink‐holes in the Southern High Plains, especially in Meade and Clark counties, Kansas, and Beaver County, Oklahoma. Johnson was of the opinion that...
