INTRODUCTION

This circular contains a list of the maps and reports released by the Geological Survey in 1956 that 

are available in open files. They may be consulted in 

the Geological Survey Library, in Washington, D. C., 

and at various field offices, the addresses of which are 

given immediately after the date of the report. They 

may also be read at the offices of various cooperating 

agencies, as indicated.

The following circulars list open-file reports and 

maps released during the years indicated: 56 (1946- 

47), 64 (1948), 149 (1949-50), 227 (1951), 263 (1952), 

337 (1953), 364 (1954), and 379 (1955).

Most of the maps were duplicated by rapid and 

inexpensive processes, such as photostat, vandyke, 

or ozalid, but some were printed by photolithography. 

Most of the texts for the reports are typed copies 

(ribbon or carbon copy), but some have been mimeographed.

The reports of the Conservation Division concern 

the potential waterpower of Cascade Creek, Scenery

Creek, Delta Creek, and Bradley Lake, Alaska, and 

the geology and waterpower possibilities of Crater 

Lake, Long Lake, and Speel River, Alaska.

The reports and maps of the Geologic Division 

1 contain results of work accomplished by Survey geologists in 16 states, Alaska, Brazil, Iran, and Puerto 

Rico. These maps and reports are released in preliminary form in order to make information immediately 

available to persons concerned with exploration for 

and production of minerals, fuels, and construction 

materials.

The reports of the Water Resources Division 

contain information on streamflow, ground water, 

quality of water, and related geology and hydrology 

in the Uaited States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico 

and Peru.

A general index follows, in which the reader is 

referred to a report by its serial number as listed 

in the following list of reports, which are arranged 

alphabetically by names of authors.
