USGS provides unbiased, objective, and impartial scientific information upon which our audiences, including resource managers, planners, and other entities, rely.
Our programs produce accurate geologic maps and 3-D geologic frameworks that provide critical data for sustaining and improving the quality of life and economic vitality of the Nation. They also organize, maintain, and publish the geospatial baseline of the Nation's topography, natural landscape, built environment and more.

Geophysical survey of the Centennial Mountains Wilderness Study Area and contiguous areas, Beaverhead County, Montana and Clark and Fremont counties, Idaho Geophysical survey of the Centennial Mountains Wilderness Study Area and contiguous areas, Beaverhead County, Montana and Clark and Fremont counties, Idaho
Parts of both the Targhee and Beaverhead National Forests are within the study area. Four contiguous parcels of land, totaling about 96,176 acres (38,922 ha) make up the area. The first of these encompasses about 46,126 acres (18,667 ha), is wholly in Montana, and includes an addition by the Bureau of Land Management. The second area, in the Targhee National Forest, consists of some 38...
Map of erosion potential and sediment sources in the Navajo Mine area, San Juan County, New Mexico Map of erosion potential and sediment sources in the Navajo Mine area, San Juan County, New Mexico
This map shows estimated erosion and sediment yields of an area designated for extensive surface mining, in San Juan County, New Mexico. The results of this study are important for the planning of future mining operations and will aid in developing suitable reclamation procedures. In addition, these data will serve as a base line from which a long-term program for determining rates of...
Map reading tools for map libraries. Map reading tools for map libraries.
Engineers, navigators and military strategists employ a broad array of mechanical devices to facilitate map use. A larger number of map users such as educators, students, tourists, journalists, historians, politicians, economists and librarians are unaware of the available variety of tools which can be used with maps to increase the speed and efficiency of their application and...
Map showing general availability of ground water in the Alton-Kolob coal-fields area, Utah Map showing general availability of ground water in the Alton-Kolob coal-fields area, Utah
This is one of a series of maps that describes the geology and related natural resources of the Alton-Kolob coal-fields area, Utah. Shown on this map is the general availability of ground water as indicated by potential yields of individual wells and expected depth to water in wells. Most data used to compile this map were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the...
Map showing geochemical analyses of panned stream sediments, Stansbury Roadless Areas, Tooele County, Utah Map showing geochemical analyses of panned stream sediments, Stansbury Roadless Areas, Tooele County, Utah
The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related Acts require the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to survey certain areas on Federal lands to determine their mineral resource potential. Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the Administration and the Congress. This report presents the results of a geochemical survey of...
