INTRODUCTION. 

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the monographs, bulletins, professional papers, and annmil reports. 

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering an . area whose boundaries 

coincide with natural drainage features as indicated below : · 

Part I. North Atlantic basins. 

II. South Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins. 

III. Ohio River basin. 

IV. St. Lawrence River basin. 

V. Upper Mississippi River and Hudson Bay basins. 

VI. Missouri River basin. 

VII. Lower Mississippi River basin. 

VIII. We11tern Gulf of Mexico basins. 

IX. Colorado River basin. 

X. Great Basin. 

XI. Pacific basins in California. 

XII. North Pacific basins.

NoTE.-No data regarding stream :flow 111e given in the 15th and 17th annual reports.· 

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports. 

extend over a series of years, and miscellaneous measurements at 

many points other than regular gaging stations have been made 

each year. An index of the reports containing records obtained 

prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119. 

The following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 

1913. The data for any particular station will in general be found 

in the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data for Machias River at Whitneyville, Me.,' 

1903 to 1913, are published in Water-Supply Papers 97, 124, 165,201, 

241, 261, 281, 301, 321, and 351, which contain records for the New 

England streams from 1903 to 1913. Results f miscellaneous measurements are published by drainage basins.

STREAM-FLOW REPORTS. vn 

In these papers and in the followinglists the stations are arranged 

in downstream order. The main stem of any river is determined 

by measuring or estimating its drainage area-that is, the headwater 

stream having the largest drainage area is considered the continua.: 

tion of the main stream, and local changes in name and lake surface 

are disregarded. All stations from the source to the mouth of the 

main stem of the river are presented first, and the tributaries in 

regular order from source to mouth follow, the streams in each 

tributary basin being listed before those of the next basin below. 

The exceptions to this rule occur in the records for Mississippi 

River, which are given in ·four parts, as indicated on page m, .and 

in the records for large l~es, where it is s4n.pler to take up the 

streams in. regular order around the rim of the lake than to cross 

back and forth over the lake surface. 

PART IX. COLORADO RIVER BASIN. 

PRINCIPAL STREAMS. 

The largest tributaries of the Colorado River are Green River 

(considered the continuation of the main stream), Grand River, 

Dolores, San Juan, Little Colorado, Virgin, and Gila Rivers. The 

principal streams flowing into the Green are Newfork Creek, Yampa 

River, Ashley Creek, Duchesne River, and White River. The principal tributaries of Grand River are Grand Lake, Frazier River, 

Williams Fork, Blue River, and Gunnison River. The streams of 

the Colorado basin drain. wholly or in part the States of Arizona, 

Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. 

In addition to the list of gaging stations and annotated list of publications relating specifically to the section, these pages contain a 

similar list of reports that are of general interest jn many sections 

and cover a wide range of hydrologic subjects, and also brief references to reports published by State and other organizations.

COLORADO RIVER BASIN. 115 

GEOLOGIC FOLIOS. 

Under the plan adopted ;for the preparation of a geologic map of the United 

States the entire area is divided into small quadrangles, bounded by certain 

meridians and parallels, and these quadrangles, which number several thousand. 

are separately surveyed and mapped.1 The unit of survey is also th~ unit of 

publication, and the maps and description of each quadrangle are issued in the 

form of a folio. When all the folios are. completed they will constitute a 

Geoolgic Atlas of the United States. 

A folio is designated by the name of the principal town or of a prominent 

natural feature within the quadrangle. Each folio includes maps showing the 

topography, geology, underground structure, and mineral deposits of the area 

mapped and several pages of descriptive text. The text explains the maps and 

describes the topographic and geologic features of the country and its mineral 

products. The topographic map shows roads, railroads, waterways, and, by 

contour lines, the shapes of the hills and valleys and the height above sea level 

of all points in the quadrangle. '.rhe areal-geology map shows the distribution 

of the various rocks at the surface. The structural-geology map shows the relations of the rocks to one another underground. The economic-geology map 

indicates the location of mineral deposits that, are commercially valuable. 

The artesian-water map shows the depth · to underground-water horizons. 

Economic-geology and artesian-water maps are included in folios if the conditions in the areas mapped warrant their publication. The folios are of special 

interest to students of geography and geology and are valuable as guides in the 

development and utilization of mineral resources. 

The folios numbered from 1 to 163, inclusive, are published in only one form 

(18 by 22 inches), called the library edition. Some of the folios that bear 

numbers higher than 163 are published also in an octavo edition ( 6 by 9 inches). 

Owing to a fire in the Geological Survey building May 18, 1913, the stock of 

geologic folios was more or less damaged by fire and water, but 80 or 90 per 

cent of the folios are usable. They will be sold at the uniform price of 5 cents 

each, with no reduction for wholesale orders. This rate applies to folios in 

stock from 1 to 184, inclusive, also to the librar'Y edition of folio 186. The 

library edition of folios 185, 187, and higher numbers sells for 25 cents a copy, 

except that some folios which contain an unusually large amount of matter sell 

for 50 cents a copy. The octavo edition of folio 185 and higher numbers sells 

for 50 cents a copy. If 34 folios selling at 25 cents each (or their equivalent in 

higher-priced folios) are ordered at one time a discount of 40 per cent is 

allowed; $5.10 is the minimum amount accepted at this rate. 

All the folios contain descriptions of the drainage of the quadrangles. The 

folios in the following list contain. also brief discussions of the underground 

waters in connection with the economic resources of the areas and more or less 

information concerning the utilization of the water resources.
