Aquifers in melt-water channels along the southwest flank of the Des Moines Lobe, Lyon County, Minnesota Aquifers in melt-water channels along the southwest flank of the Des Moines Lobe, Lyon County, Minnesota
During the Gary and Mankato substages of Wisconsin glaciation the Des Moines lobe advanced southeastward through the broad lowland of the Minnesota River valley of southwestern Minnesota, and thence southward to central Iowa. Among the most prominent topographic features in Lyon County, Minn., are five southeastward-trending end moraines, two of which are associated with and parallel to...

Exploratory drilling for ground water in the Mountain Iron-Virginia area, St. Louis County, Minnesota Exploratory drilling for ground water in the Mountain Iron-Virginia area, St. Louis County, Minnesota
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 glacioaqueous sediments made up of clay, silt, sand, and gravel was...

The trout fishery in Shenandoah National Park The trout fishery in Shenandoah National Park
Populations of brook trout in streams of Shenandoah National Park were reduced drastically early in the past decade by a succession of unusually severe droughts and floods. The drying of stream beds, predation, and scouring were principal factors in the loss of fish. The park was closed to fishing in 1954 and 1955 to protect survivors. The small numbers of survivors quickly repopulated...

The stoneroller, Campostoma anomalum (Rafinesque), in Great Smoky Mountains National Park The stoneroller, Campostoma anomalum (Rafinesque), in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The stoneroller (Campostoma anomalum) is one of the more important fish in Great Smoky Mountains National Park because of its abundance and habits. Although esteemed locally as a food and a bait fish, the stoneroller is exploited but little since the fishing regulations which govern the utilization of game fishes afford it a large measure of protection. Distribution is controlled by...
