Water-power resources in upper Carson River basin, California - Nevada
Harold L. Pumphrey
1955, Water Supply Paper 1329-A
West Fork Carson River offers the best opportunity for power development in the Carson River basin. The Hope Valley reservoir site could be developed to provide adequate storage regulation and concentration of fall would permit utilization of 1,400 feet of head in 51h miles below the clam site, or 1,900...
Water resources of the Indianapolis area, Indiana
Claude Martin Roberts, L.E. Widman, P.N. Brown
1955, Circular 366
Water used in the Indianapolis area comes from two sources: the White River and tributary streams and the underground reservoirs formed by the underlying glacial drift and limestone. Surface-water sources provide about 60 mgd (million gallons per day) for public supply and an additional 300 mgd is used by private...
Floods of April 1952 in the Missouri River basin
J. V. B. Wells
1955, Water Supply Paper 1260-B
The floods of April 1952 in the Milk River basin, along the Missouri River from the mouth of the Little Missouri River to the mouth of the Kansas River, and for scattered tributaries of the Missouri River in North and South Dakota were the greatest ever observed. The damage amounted...
Geology of the Du Noir area, Fremont County, Wyoming
William Richard Keefer
1955, Open-File Report 55-81
The Du Noir area includes about 250 square miles in the northwestern part of the Wind River Basin, Fremont County, Wyoming. It is bounded on the south by the Wind River and Warm Spring Creek, which flow along the northeast flank of the Wind River Mountains, and on the north...
Geology of the Fourmile pegmatite area, Custer County, South Dakota
Jack Allison Redden
1955, Open-File Report 55-145
The Fournile pegmatite area covers 32 sq. mi. in the western part of the Custer pegmatite mining district, Custer County, South Dakota. This area has been one of the major sources of sheet mica in the United States, especially between 1906 and 1911, and it has been a significant source...
Geology of the Red House Cliffs area, San Juan County, Utah
Thomas E. Mullens
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 445
The Red Cliffs area comprises 296 square miles of canyon and plateau country in southwestern San Juan County, Utah.  The rocks that crop out in the area are mostly deposits of terrestrial environment and are of Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, and Quaternary ages.  The aggregate thickness of these rock is about...
Engineering geology as applied to highway construction
Leonard M. Gard Jr.
1955, Open-File Report 55-46
A geologic study of the site for a relocated segment of State Highway 93 northwest of Denver Colo., was made by by the Engineering Geology Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey as a demonstration of the applicability of geologic mapping to problems of highway construction. The relocated segment provides access...
Relationship of uranium and other trace elements to post-Cretaceous vulcanism
Robert R. Coats
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 159
A regional study of the distribution of uranium, boron, tin, beryllium, niobium, lanthanum, lead, zirconium, lithium, and fluorine in 112 samples of Cenozoic volcanic rocks of predominately rhyolitic and dacitic composition has shown that the content of uranium has a significantly high positive correlation with that of niobium, beryllium, and...
Provenience of pyroclastic materials
C. S. Ross
1955, Geological Society of America Bulletin (66) 427-434
Recent studies of rhyolitic and pyroclastic materials, and in particular of welded tuffs and bentonites, show that they occur over wide areas and in volumes which greatly exceed earlier evaluations. Volcanic ash and bentonite occur in the eastern United States where such materials were long unrecognized. In most of the...
Sub-chattanooga residuum in Tennessee and Kentucky
C. Milton, L. C. Conant, V.E. Swanson
1955, Geological Society of America Bulletin (66) 805-810
Between the Chattanooga shale and the underlying limestone in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky is a clayey gray to brown zone as much as several feet thick. This represents an interval of limestone that has been leached by sulfuric acid formed by oxidation of the abundant pyrite in the black...
The killifish, fundulus heteroclitus, second intermediate host of the trematode, Ascocotyle (Phagicola) dimunuta
H. W. Stunkard, Joseph R. Uzmann
1955, Biological Bulletin (109) 475-483
Ascocotyle (Phagicola) diminuta was described by Stunkard and Haviland (1924)from the intestine of wild rats collected at the Clason Point dump near New York by the City Board of Health. Feeding experiments have demonstrated that metacercariae encysted in the gills of the common killifish, Fundulus hetero clitus, are stages in...
Isotopic composition and distribution of lead, uranium, and thorium in a Precambrian granite
G.R. Tilton, C.C. Patterson, Harrison Brown, Mark Inghram, R.R. Hayden, David Hess, Esper S. Larsen Jr.
1955, GSA Bulletin (66) 1131-1148
The isotopic compositions and concentrations of lead and uranium have been determined in some separated minerals and the composite of a granite from Monmouth township, Haliburton County, Ontario. The chemical and mass spectrometric methods that were used are described. The age of the zircon from the granite is 1050 million...
1950 and 1951 eruptions of Mihara Yama, O Shima Volcano, Japan
Helen L. Foster, Arnold C. Mason
1955, GSA Bulletin (66) 731-762
Mihara Yama is the active central cone of O Shima Volcano on the island of O Shima, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. The outer slopes of O Shima Volcano compose most of the island. Their crest is a somma, about 600 km in altitude and 3 km in diameter, which encloses a...
