Flood on Big Fossil Creek at Haltom City near Fort Worth, Texas, in 1962
The approximate area inundated near Fort Worth, Texas, by Big Fossil Creek, during the flood of September 7, 1962, is shown on a topographic map to record the flood hazard in graphic form. Big Fossil Creek, which drains an area of 74.7 square miles, flows generally southeastward along the northeast edge of Fort Worth through Richland Hills and Haltom City, into West Fork Trinity River. The flood o

Glacial geology of the Mountain Iron-Virginia-Eveleth area Mesabi Iron Range, Minnesota: Sub-chapter in Geological Survey research 1964, Chapter C
The surficial clayey till in the vicinity of Mountain Iron, Virginia, and Eveleth is of post-Cary age. In the southern part of the area studied, this till is overlain by deposits of glacial Lake Upham, and throughout the area it is underlain successively by stratified drift and bouldery till, both of Cary age, and by remnants of older tills.

Review of waterpower withdrawals in Weiser River Basin, Idaho
The Weiser River basin is primarily agricultural and is supported by extensive irrigation. The Geological Survey has initiated withdrawals, or has made powersite classifications of lands having value for reservoir sites and for waterpower production. These withdrawals have been examined to see if they should continue in force or if it is in the public interest to restore them. The 1960 report, "Up

Sedimentation in three small forested drainage basins in the Alsea River basin, Oregon
A multidiscipline investigation to determine the effects of logging on the ecology of three small forested tributary basins is a part of an overall study of the Alsea River basin in the Coast Range of Oregon. The investigation of these small basins will be to (1) establish pre-logging conditions, (2) determine the effects of different logging methods, and (3) study the rate of recovery after the t

Geology and ground-water resources of Uvalde County, Texas
The principal aquifer in Uvalde County is the Edwards and associated limestones of Cretaceous age. The aquifer underlies an extensive area in south-central Texas extending along the Balcones fault zone from Kinney County eastward to San Antonio, and thence northeastward to Hays County. The hydrologic unit making up the Edwards and associated limestones consists of the Comanche Peak limestone, the
