Geologic map of the Saint Joseph area, Missouri and Kansas Geologic map of the Saint Joseph area, Missouri and Kansas
This map was prepared as a collaborative effort with the Missouri Division of Geology and Land Survey, the Kansas Geological Survey, and the Nebraska Conservation and Survey Division. Map units and preliminary contacts between units were identified using stereoscopic pairs of high altitude, false color infrared, aerial photographs. Contacts were drawn on twelve USGS 7.5-minute...
Bedrock geologic map of the Yucca Mountain area, Nye County, Nevada Bedrock geologic map of the Yucca Mountain area, Nye County, Nevada
Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada, has been identified as a potential site for underground storage of high-level radioactive nuclear waste. Detailed bedrock geologic maps form an integral part of the site characterization program by providing the fundamental framework for research into the geologic hazards and hydrologic behavior of the mountain. This bedrock geologic map provides the...
Maps showing hydrostatic levels and general ground-water quality for an area near Conifer, Colorado Maps showing hydrostatic levels and general ground-water quality for an area near Conifer, Colorado
Static water levels (SWL's) were measured in more than one hundred wells in the study area during April-May 1989. The water levels were monitored for 10-15 minutes to determine if they were static. If a given level was found not to be static, the measurement was repeated at a later data when the level was static.
Geologic map of the Cape Disappointment-Naselle River area, Pacific and Wahkiakum counties, Washington Geologic map of the Cape Disappointment-Naselle River area, Pacific and Wahkiakum counties, Washington
The Cape Disappointment-Naselle River area is in southwestern Washington at the mouth of the Columbia River. The area encompasses several major estuaries and their adjacent highlands, which reach elevations of about 2,000 feet. Rainfall is abundant and produces heavy vegetation and deep weathering of the bedrock. Natural bedrock exposures are restricted to stream courses along larger...
Mineral resource potential map of the South Sierra Wilderness and the South Sierra Roadless Area, Inyo and Tulare Counties, California Mineral resource potential map of the South Sierra Wilderness and the South Sierra Roadless Area, Inyo and Tulare Counties, California
There are five areas with mineral resource potential and one area with geothermal energy potential in the South Sierra Wilderness and the South Sierra Roadless Area. The area south of Summit Meadows and the area south of Hogback Creek have moderate resource potential for tungsten and molybdenum in small skarn deposits. The area between Summit meadow and Hogback Creek and the area from...
