Floods of February-March 1961 in the southeastern states
Harry Hawthorne Barnes, William Philip Somers
1961, Circular 452
Widespread, prolonged, disastrous floods struck parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida following heavy rains Feb. 17-26, 1961. Three distinct low-pressure systems recurred in essentially the same area. Precipitation totaled more than 18 inches in some areas. Multiple floods of small streams became superimposed in the large rivers to...

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,...

Availability of ground water in Lyon County, Minnesota
Harry G. Rodis
1961, Circular 444
Lyon County is in southwestern Minnesota, about 150 miles southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul The basement rocks in the area consist of granite and quartzite of Precambrian age. These materials are in turn overlain by shale and sandstone of Cretaceous age, glacial drift of Pleistocene age, and alluvium of...

A study of flow in alluvial channels: the effect of large concentrations of fine sediment on the mechanics of flow in a small flume
William Leland Haushild, Daryl Baldwin Simons, Everett V. Richadrson
1961, Report
A flume study was made using a natural river sand as the bed material, median diameter = 0. 54 millimeters. Clear-water flow was compared with flow containing from 6 1 000 to 65,000 parts per million of fine sediment (bentonite). The study shows that the form of bed roughness could...
Surface water records of Indiana, 1961
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1961, Report
The surface-water records for the 1961 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Indiana are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the...
Origin of Pennsylvanian underclay and related seat rocks
J. W. Huddle, S. H. Patterson
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1643-1660
Seat rocks, including underclay, underlie coal beds and show features such as roots, profiles similar to water-logged soils, lack of bedding, soil-like fracture, and gradation into normally bedded sedimentary rocks indicating that they were once soils. Coarse-grained seat rocks range from argillaceous to nearly pure quartz sandstone (ganister). Seat rocks...
Geophysical study of subsurface structure in southern Owens Valley, California
M. F. Kane, L.C. Pakisek
1961, Geophysics (26) 12-26
Gravity and seismic measurements in southern Owens Valley, California, have outlined a deep subsurface trough, bounded throughout the greater part of its length by steep faults. Depths to the bedrock floor along the central part of the valley range from 3,000 to 9,000 ft below the surface. The subsurface trough is divided into...

Paleomagnetism
Richard R. Doell, Allan Cox

This chapter highlights the ways in which rocks become magnetized. It also interprets paleomagnetic results in terms of the theories of polar wandering, continental drift, and an expanding Earth. The chapter describes the salient characteristics and trends of the geomagnetic field during the period of direct observation. Several questions are...
