Foreword 

Arthur Maass is one of the major figures in the development of 

water policies and planning procedures in the post-World War II 

era. An early critic of Corps of Engineers planning procedures, 

as evidenced in his well-known book Muddy Waters, he later headed 

the Harvard Water Program, which contributed substantially to the 

rise of multiobjective river basin planning. He has written 

influential studies on economic analysis and institutional 

relationships as they affect water resources development. He 

also has served as an adviser on water issues to the Tennessee 

Valley Authority, the Bureau of Reclamation, the People's 

Republic of China, and the Corps. 

Professor Maass donated his voluminous papers to the Office of 

History of the Army Corps of Engineers in 1984. The papers cover 

all aspects of his involvement in natural resources issues as 

well as his teaching career at Harvard. They are an important 

source on the evolution of federal water management in the socalled big dam era. Historians, planners, social scientists, 

lawyers, and others interested in water resources issues will 

find much of interest. 

The Maass Papers complement several other collections held by 

this office, including the papers of Henry P. Caulfield, Jr., 

Gilbert White, Harry Schwarz, and Howard L. Cook. Eventually, 

all collections will be inventoried, and registers will be 

available in typewritten format in the Office of History or, on a 

selective basis, in published form.

Preface 

The Office of History, Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is assigned the task of preserving and documenting the 

activities of the Corps. To help accomplish this mission, the 

office collects, maintains, and inventories documents relating to 

Corps history. 

Along with official records of the Corps and personal papers of 

officials of the Corps, the office accepts personal papers of 

distinguished people who have influenced the development of Corps 

policies and programs. The accession of the Arthur Maass Papers 

and the publication of this guide are important steps in this 

expanding program. 

The Arthur Maass Papers are located in the Corps of Engineers 

Archives, ATTN: CEHO-S-H, Kingman Building, Fort Belvoir, 

Virginia 22060-5577. Interested researchers should contact the 

office for more information. 

The compiler would like to acknowledge the efforts of two 

historians in the Office of History: Dr. Martin A. Reuss, who 

was instrumental in procuring the Arthur Maass Papers, and Dr. 

Martin K. Gordon, who provided technical expertise and counsel 

during the processing effort. Thanks also go to Lisa K. Wagner, 

who verified and updated register entries; Christine 0. Hardyman, 

Kristin A. Peterson, and Beryl J. Johnson, who established the 

format for the register; and Mary F. Loughlin and Kathleen 

Richardson, who edited and proofed it.

REGISTER OF THE ARTHUR MAASS PAPERS 
INTRODUCTION 

The Arthur Maass Papers focus on evolving government policies 

dealing with water resources and land conservation at the 

federal, state, and local levels. The collection reflects Dr. 

Maass' experiences as student, government official, and Harvard 

professor, with the majority of the materials covering the 1950s 

and 1960s. 

The collection includes both public and private papers: 

government publications and reports, departmental memos and news 

releases, policy studies, scholarly essays, conservation 

newsletters, newspaper clippings, copies of Dr., Maass' published 

works, and his personal correspondence. The personal correspondence is so closely tied to the various studies, reports, and 

publications that the letters are incorporated into each folder's 

subject rather than gathered into a separate section. 

Section I, Resources--General, contains material on the 

environment and conservation; each subsequent section is 

specific in its focus. The first subject area is Water 

Resources, Dr. Maass' primary concern. Subsections within Water 

Resources are national water policy, economic and hydrologic 

data and research, technology, specific purposes, legislation, 
4 THE ARTHUR MAASS PAPERS 

organization for water resources development, and water rights 

and water law. 

The third section, Land and Agricultural Resources, includes the 

subsections of basic data, farm conservation programs and 

policies, general agricultural policy, forestry, and public lands 

and grazing. This is followed by shorter sections on Mineral 

Resources; Solar, Wind, Air, and Ocean Resources: 

Recreation; Public Works Policies: Pressure Groups and 

Organizations; and Economic Politics. 

The next portion of the papers consists of two courses taught by 

Dr. Maass: one on government and conservation and the other on 

planning. Both include his handwritten lecture notes. 

The courses are followed by documents relating to a number of Dr. 

Maass' published works, as well as copies of most of those works. 

Articles not in this section can be found with the appropriate 

topics in earlier sections. A copy of Dr. Maass' doctoral 

dissertation also is included. 

The Area Files form the final section of the Maass Papers. They 

cover the same natural resources topics as were found in the 

earlier sections but are divided into geographical units, such as 

New England, Middle Atlantic, and Lower Mississippi.

INTRODUCTION 5 

The descriptive inventory is organized by folder according to 

topics within each of the main sections mentioned above. I f .,* 

certain documents are either too large or too important to be 

included with the rest of the papers on a certain topic, they are 

to be found in separate folders immediately following the folder 

(or folders) for the main topic. Within the folders, documents 

are organized chronologically with undated material at the back 

of each folder.

Economic and Hydrologic Data and Research 

_-. 

This subsection examines the proper foundation on which to base 

policy decisions. Projections of water demand and investment 

potential, cost-benefit analyses, planning for multiple 

objectives, and ongoing research form the core of the material. 

Of paramount interest are two articles published by Dr. Maass, 

one in 1966 and the other in 1969, which focus on both the costs 

and the benefits behind policy decisions.

Folders 67-93. Cost-Benefit Evaluations, 1945-1982. 

The bulk of this material, approximately five archival 

boxes, consists of studies and reports on the cost and 

benefit factors that must be weighed before formulating a 

national water policy. Although correspondence will be 

found in most of the folders, the majority of such correspondence relates to the studies and reports filed therein. 

Folders 78 and 82 are exceptions as they contain Dr. Maass' 

handwritten notes on the subject. Some of the folders 

contain issues of the National Waterways Conference newsletter, Criteria News, which provide contemporary information on the government's role in formulating water policy.

LAND AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES 

This section is concerned with the development of government 

land-use policies. The subsections are basic data; farm 

conservation--programs and policies; general agricultural policy; 

forestry; and public lands and grazing. Most of the material 

consists of government news releases, newspaper clippings, 

conservation newsletters, and book notices. Significant 

documents are listed individually. 

Basic Data 

Basic data, the statistical information accumulated for the 

formulation of land and agricultural policy, includes mapping; 

projection of demand and resources; land use in the United 

States: farm costs and returns: pesticides and toxic chemicals; 

and world food and population.

CONSERVATION COURSES 

This section contains material for two courses taught by Dr. 

Maass: a 1958 course on Government and the Conservation of 

Natural Resources, and a 1959 seminar on Conservation Planning. 

The folders are arranged by topic within each course. In most 

cases, the research material and the lecture notes for each topic 

are in separate folders. In some cases the research material 

comprises several folders, with the last folder for each topic 

containing the actual lecture notes. Research material ranges 

from newspaper clippings and newsletters to scholarly 

publications and government reports. If a document is large 

enough to warrant a separate folder, it is listed individually. 

Whenever there are a number of publications dealing with a 

specific topic, they are grouped in a separate folder also.
