Maps showing aeromagnetic survey and interpretation of the Virgin Mountains Instant Study Area Clark County, Nevada Maps showing aeromagnetic survey and interpretation of the Virgin Mountains Instant Study Area Clark County, Nevada
Data for the aeromagnetic map (fig. 1) of the Virgin Mountains Instant Study Area wre collected in 1978 and compiled at a scale of 1:62,500. North-south traverses were spaced at 0.8-km intervals at an altitude of about 300m above the surface of the ground. The contour interval is 20 and 100 gammas, depending on the steepness of local magnetic gradients in the Earth's magnetic field. A...
Maps showing coal resources of the Crumpler quadrangle, Mercer, McDowell, and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia Maps showing coal resources of the Crumpler quadrangle, Mercer, McDowell, and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia
Coal Geology The Crumpler quadrangle lies in the Appalachian Plateaus province, with the coal bearing Pocahontas and New River Formations of Pennsylvanian age having a gentle dip toward the northwest. Coal bed maps were prepared (figures 1-7) and resources were estimated (table 1) for seven of the many coal beds in the Crumpler quadrangle (Stricker, 1980, lists the names of the various...
Maps showing coal resources of the Jewell Bridge Quadrangle, Buchanan and Tazewell counties, Virginia Maps showing coal resources of the Jewell Bridge Quadrangle, Buchanan and Tazewell counties, Virginia
Coal of low-volatile to high-volatile A bituminous rank is the principal developed mineral resource in the Jewell Ridge quadrangle. The coal beds in the Jewell Ridge quadrangle contain total estimated original resources of 1,519 million tons. Of this total, 108 million tons have been mined or lost in mining, leaving 1,411 million tons of remaining resources. Table 1 lists coal resource
Maps showing composition of surficial sediments on the insular shelf of southwestern Puerto Rico Maps showing composition of surficial sediments on the insular shelf of southwestern Puerto Rico
The limited availability of onshore sand deposits for use in construction appears to be a future major problem in Puerto Rico (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1972; Committee on Puerto Rico and the Sea, 1974). Consequently, the mining of offshore sand deposits as supplemental sources of construction aggregate may becom e necessary. For this reason, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of...

This report presents results of marine studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during the summers of 1975 and 1976 in eastern Rhode Island Sound and Vineyard Sound (fig. 1) located off the southeastern coast of Massachusetts. The study was made in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the New England Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers...
