K.L. Walters
1961, Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin (151)
This report describes the geography, geology, and ground-water resources of Sumner County in south-central Kansas. The hydrologic and geologic data upon which this report is based were obtained in the field during the summers of 1955 and 1956. Records of 300 wells and 2 springs, chemical analyses of 219 water...
Geologic summary of the Appalachian basin, with reference to the subsurface disposal of radioactive waste solutions
George Willis Colton
1961, Trace Elements Investigations 791
The Appalachian basin is an elongate depression in the crystalline basement complex which contains a great volume of predominantly sedimentary stratified rocks. As defined in this paper it extends from the Adirondack Mountains in New York to central Alabama. From east to west it extends from the west flank of...

Geology of the Moses Lake North quadrangle, Washington
Maurice J. Grolier, Bruce L. Foxworthy
1961, IMAP 330
The geology of the Moses Lake North quadrangle was mapped in 1954 and 1958 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Some of the basic hydrologic data has been collected by the Geological Survey during the early investigations of ground-water conditions in the Quincy Basin (Henshaw, written communication, 1917; Schwennesen and Meinzer,...
Ground water in the alluvial deposits of the Canadian River valley near Norman, Oklahoma
Bill L. Stacy
1961, Open-File Report 61-177
Unconsolidated water-bearing alluvial deposits border the Canadian River in the vicinity of Norman, Oklahoma. These Quaternary materials are divided on the basis of topgraphic position into 'high terrace deposits' and 'alluvium.' The high terrace lies at an elevation of 50 to 60 feet above the alluvium, which in turn lies...

The scientific and economic results of work by the United States Geological Survey during the fiscal year 1961, the 12 months ending June 30, 1961, will be summarized in four volumes of which this is the first. This volume includes 146 short papers on a variety of subjects in the...
Synopsis of geologic and hydrologic results: Chapter A in Geological Survey research 1961
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1961, Professional Paper 424-A
The Geological Survey is engaged in many different kinds of investigations in the fields of geology and hydrology. These investigations may be grouped into several broad, inter-related categories as follows:(a) Economic geology, including engineering geology(b) Regional geologic mapping, including detailed mapping and stratigraphic studies(c) Resource and topical studies(d) Ground-water studies(e)...

Floods in Pennsylvania, frequency and magnitude
W. F. Busch, E.C. Shaw
1961, Open-File Report 61-28
This report outlines a method of determining the magnitude of floods having frequencies up to 50 years for any stream in Pennsylvania except regulated streams and streams whose drainage basins are smaller than 10 square miles. On the main stems of the Schuylkill, Delaware, Susquehanna, and Chemung Rivers the magnitude...

Water resources of the Raft River basin, Idaho-Utah
Raymond L. Nace
1961, Water Supply Paper 1587
Much arable land in the Raft River basin of Idaho lacks water for irrigation, and the potentially irrigable acreage far exceeds the amount that could be irrigated with the estimated total supply of water. Therefore, the amount of uncommitted water that could be intercepted and used within the basin is...
Progress report on wells penetrating artesian aquifers in South Dakota
R. W. Davis, C.F. Dyer, J.E. Powell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1534
Artesian aquifers underlie most of South Dakota and large areas in adjacent States. About 15,000 wells have been completed since 1881 in these aquifers within South Dakota. Many wells that originally flowed have ceased to flow and have been abandoned, and others have been equipped with pumps. Many thousands, however,...
Exploratory drilling for ground water in the Mountain Iron-Virginia area, St. Louis County, Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, J.E. Rogers
1961, Water Supply Paper 1539-A
The Mountain Iron-Virginia area is a broad, southwest-trending valley in the central part of the Mesabi Range. The valley, which heads in the Laurentian Divide, and covers about 120 square miles, coincides approximately with a bedrock valley filled with as much as 150 feet of glacial deposits. A complex sequence of...
