Ground-water data for Fairbanks area, Alaska
A compilation of records of about 450 wells in the Fairbanks area is presented herein. The data were collected by D. J. Cedarstrom and Troy L. Pewe during the first phases of an investigation by the United States Geological Survey of the permafrost, terrain, and water resources of the Fairbanks area. The enclosed map of the area, showing well locations, was prepared by the Regional Sanitary Engineer, Sanitation and Engineering, Alaska Department of Health and Welfare. The data were released to the Survey's open file in 1948, but are reproduced in the Alaska Department of Health and Welfare Hydrological Data series to insure preservation. Where known, the data include for each well the names of the owner and driller; the depth of the well; the depth to the top and bottom of permafrost; and the reported quality of water. The well records and location may be very useful for future subsurface investigations or construction. The well location map was based on the Fairbanks street names as of 1948. Since that time, many of the street names and the numbering system have changed. Hence, the reader should not refer to the address of a particular well, but to the well number when locating a well on the map. The Geological Survey has recompiled the well data in the Fairbanks area for its final phase of a ground-water study. Data through 1954 is to be presented in a Water-Supply Paper now in preparation. Pertinent portions of the enclosed well data will be presented in the forthcoming report. Some of the enclosed well data, and additional well logs, have been published in a report (Pewe, Troy L., 1958, Geology of the Fairbanks (D-2) quadrangle, Alaska: U. S. Geological Survey GQ 110) describing the geology and subsurface conditions in the area.
Hydrologic Unit Map -- 1974, State of Michigan
This map and accompanying table show Hydrologic Units that are basically hydrographic in nature. The Cataloging Units shown will supplant the Cataloging Units previously used by the U.S. Geological Survey in its Catalog of Information on Water Data (1966-72). The previous U.S. Geological Survey Catalog-Indexing System was by map number and letter, such as 49 M. The boundaries shown have been adapted from "The Catalog of Information on Water Data" (1972), "Water Resources Regions and Subregions for the National Assessment of Water and Related Land Resources" by the U.S. Water Resources Council (1970), " River Basins of the United States" by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (1963, 1970), "River Basin Maps Showing Hydrologic Stations" by the Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources, Subcommittee on Hydrology (1961), and States planning maps.

Topographic and geologic maps of manganese deposits in California
Geologic and topographic maps of several manganese properties in California were released today by the Geological Survey according to an announcement made by Survey Director W. E. Wrather to Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes. The maps have been placed on open file at the offices of the Geological Survey in Washington, D. C., and at the offices of the Geologic Branch, California Division of Mines, Ferry Building, San Francisco, where they may be consulted by persons directly interested in the properties. The recently increased demand for information regarding deposits of manganese silicates for new uses in connection with the war effort has indicated the desirability of releasing unpublished detailed maps of the California deposits, many of which carry manganese silicates. The maps were made as part of the strategic minerals investigations of the Geological Survey from 1941 to 1943. The deposits covered by the maps are in the following counties of California: Amador, Calaveras, Eldorado, Glenn, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Madera, Mariposa, Mendocino, Mono, Placer, Plumas, San Bernardino, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, San Joaquin, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Trinity, and Tuolumne.
