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, undergound waters, and 

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

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

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, and annual 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 Atla.ntic coast basins. 

II. South Atla.ntic coast 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 Missippi River basin. 

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins. 

IX. Colorado River basin .. 

X. Great Basin. 

XI. Pacific coast basins in California. 

XII. North Pacific coast basins.

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 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 of miscellaneous 

measurements are published by drainage basins .

INTRODUCTION. VII 

In these papers and in the following lists 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 continuation 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 lakes, where it is simpler 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 II. SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST AND EASTERN GULF 

OF MEXICO DRAINAGE BASINS. 

PRINCIPAL STREAMS. 

The south Atlantic coast and eastern Gulf of Mexico drainage 

basins include streams flowing into the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of 

Mexico from York River, Va., to Pearl River, Miss., inclusive. The 

principal streams in this division are James, Roanoke, Cape Fear, 

Y adkin, Santee, Savannah, Altamaha, Apalachicola, Choctawhatchee, 

Mobile, and Pearl. The streams drain wholly or in part the States 

of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South 

Carolina, and Virginia. 

In addition to the annotated list of publications relating specifically to the section, these pages contain a similar list of reports that 

are of general interest in many sections and cover a wide range of 

hydrologic subjects, and also brief references to reports published by 

State and other organizations. (See pp. 29-30.)

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 the 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 Geologic 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. The areal-geology 

map shows the distribution of the various rocks at the surface. The struct_ural-geology 

map shows the relations of the rocks to one another underground. The economicgeology map indicates the location of mineral deposits thap are commercially valuable. 

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

I Index maps showing areas in the South Atlantic States covered by topographic maps and by geologic 

folios will be mailed on receipt of request addressed to the Director, U. S. Geological Survey, Washington, 

D.C. 
SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST' DRAIN AGE BASINS. 29 

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 a.ild 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 library 

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. 

An asterisk (*) indicates that the stock of the folio Is exhausted.
