Introduction

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) was founded by an act of Congress dated March 3, 1879 (20 Stat. 

L., 394-395). The provisions of the act specified that "the salary of the Director of the Geological Survey, which 

office is hereby established, under the Interior Department, who shall be appointed by the President by and with the 

advice and consent of the Senate, six thousand dollars: Provided, That this officer shall have the direction of the 

Geological Survey, and the classification of the public lands and examination of the Geological Structure, mineral 

resources and products of the national domain." The act directed the termination of the three ongoing geological and 

geographic surveys (predecessor surveys) and the deposit of the USGS and other Federal scientific collections in the 

National Museum. Other clauses specified ethics for USGS employees. The act also provided for the publication of 

an annual report of the operations of the USGS, maps, and technical reports, a program of publications exchange, and 

the establishment of a library.

Although the agency was commonly referred to as the United States Geological Survey and routinely used that 

title on official publications, it was by the act of May 18, 1992 (106 Stat. L., 171), that the Federal Geological 

Survey officially became the United States Geological Survey

The act of August 7, 1882 (22 Stat. L., 329), directed the USGS "to continue the preparation of a geologic map 

of the United States." The legal interpretations of "national domain" in the USGS establishing legislation (or organic 

act) had restricted the agency's operations to the public-land States and Territories west of the Mississippi River. As 

geologic mappers required accurate large-scale topographic maps on which to compile their data and interpretations, 

the new law was interpreted by the USGS as authorizing topographic and geologic mapping in the remainder of the 

United States. The Survey entered into cooperative arrangements with the States to conduct field examinations and 

compile maps.

Continuous funding for water-resources investigations by the USGS dates from the act of August 18, 1894 

(28 Stat. L., 398), that specifically authorized "gauging the streams and determining the water supply of the 

United States, including the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells in arid and semiarid sections." 

The "Weeks Act" of March 1, 1911 (36 Stat. L., 962), added responsibility for the examination of lands before they 

were purchased to "promote or protect the navigation of streams on whose watersheds they lie."

The land-classification work specified in the organic act was not an active function of the USGS until 1906. 

That year the General Land Office and the USGS entered into a cooperative agreement that specified that the USGS 

was to be chiefly responsible for the examination and classification of lands and report its findings to the General 

Land Office for action. In 1908 the Land Classification Board was established in the Geologic Branch. In 1925 when 

the Bureau of Mines was transferred to the Department of Commerce the Mineral- and Oil-Leasing Divisions of the 

Bureau of Mines were transferred to the USGS. With the transfer the USGS' new Conservation Branch acquired 

responsibility for administering the provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat. L., 437), 

and related legislation that formed the basis of regulatory responsibilities in the USGS.

In 1907 the USGS established a Technologic Branch to administer the programs of fuel- and structural-materials 

testing and analysis. The act of May 22, 1908 (35 Stat. L., 226), provided for investigations into the causes of mine 

explosions. A Mine Accidents Division was set up in the Technologic Branch to conduct these investigations. 

In 1910 most of the Technologic Branch's functions were transferred to the newly created Bureau of Mines. 

The same year structural-materials studies were transferred to the Bureau of Standards.

By 1920 the operational units that would carry out USGS programs for the next sixty years were in place - 

the Geologic Branch, Topographic Branch, Water Resources Branch, and Land Classification Board (later the 

Conservation Branch) [Organization Chart 1].
The first USGS Director, Clarence King, established field offices. John W. Powell, the second Director, closed 

the field offices and all off-season work was done at the Washington headquarters. Later the operational units found 

that field offices increased the staff's time for field work and ensured the direct oversight of year-round operations such 

as stream gaging. The location and number of field offices differed from one operational unit to another depending on 

type of work and need.

USGS staff served on USGS committees, such as the Geologic Names Committee, that drew on the experience 

and expertise of employees to better administer the agency's programs; departmental and regional field committees, 

such as the Water Resources Committee, to coordinate departmental programs and formulate long-range plans within 

the department; and interagency and coordination committees, such as the Pacific Northwest Coordination Committee, 

to facilitate cooperation between agencies of the Federal Government. USGS staffers also attended meetings of other 

departmental committees as observers or to serve a liaison function. The professional staff of the USGS also 

participated in conferences and meetings of professional, industrial, and international scientific organizations.

In the 1930's the USGS undertook programs with funds appropriated for economic recovery under the 

administration the National Recovery Administration, the Public Works Administration and the Work Projects 

Administration. The level of cooperative work between the operational units of the USGS, particularly the 

Topographic and Water Resources Branches, and other Federal agencies and States increased with funding provided by 

economic-recovery appropriations.

During World War I and World War II the USGS reoriented its programs to support the war effort. Just before 

the United States entered World War I USGS geologists were gathering data about worldwide strategic-mineral 

production and consumption. During the war many experienced topographers were commissioned in the military to 

prepare maps. The water-resources staff made studies of ground water for the use of military installations. 

USGS involvement in World War II occupied more of the civilian staff over a longer period of time. The Branches 

worked under agreements with and funding from elements of the War Department to compile strategic terrain 

intelligence reports on enemy held areas, to identify the locations of critical minerals available to the enemy, and to 

prepare topographic maps of areas occupied by United States forces.

The growth of USGS programs and staff after World War II required fundamental changes in organizational 

structure. To handle the increased administrative demands on the Branch Chiefs, staff positions were created in the 

Divisions. In 1946 two staff units were add to the Topographic Branch, the Plans and Coordination Branch and the 

Research and Technical Branch. In 1948 the Technical Control and Programs Control Branches were added to the 

Water Resources Branch; an Executive Officer began work in the Geologic Branch; and the position of Chairman of 

the Unit Plan Committee was created in the Conservation Branch. In 1949 Federal branches were renamed divisions 

with subordinate branches; the divisions were restyled branches, with subordinate sections and units. 

Under Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 other organizational and administrative changes were made in the USGS. 

The plan vested some of the authority that had been exercised by the Director in the Secretary of the Interior. In the 

next several years the staffing plans of the Divisions were evaluated with the object of reorienting the lines of 

authority. The process was essentially complete in by 1958 [Organization Chart 2].

In the 1930's it became evident to USGS geologists that oil-bearing geological structures in the California and 

Gulf of Mexico coastal plains extended offshore. In 1945 an Executive Order placed the natural resources of the 

Continental Shelf under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior. The Submerged Lands Act of 1953 

established Federal jurisdiction over the Continental Shelf. The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953 

encouraged the exploration and development of fossil fuel and other mineral resources. Geological and geophysical 

exploration on the outer continental shelf was conducted by the Geologic Division and oversight of leasing and, later, 

application of environmental-protection laws, was the responsibility of the Conservation Division.
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, Water Resources 

Research Act of 1984, and other legislation about national environmental policy that reflected growing public concern 

about environmental and conservation matters augmented the work of the USGS. The Water Resources Division 

expanded a network of gaging stations set up to measure the flow of fresh water into estuaries. 

The Geologic Division developed new techniques for the study of marine geologic structures to determine 

environmental hazards associated with offshore drilling facilities. The Topographic Division used data from earthobserving satellites and high-altitude aircraft to compile maps to aid in land-use planning. The USGS established a 

data center in 1973 to collect data from remotely sensed sources under the Earth Resource Observation Systems 

(EROS) Program.

The Office of Earth Sciences Applications (OESA) succeeded the Land Analysis and Information Office, which 

had been established in 1975. Records concerning the earlier programs of the predecessor unit, the Geographic 

Applications Program are described with the records of the Office of the Geographer (entries 61, 65, and 66). 

The OES A was abolished in 1982 and its functions were dispersed to the National Mapping, Geologic, and Water 

Resources Divisions.

The Office of the Naval Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (ONPRA) was established in the Office of the Director of 

the Geological Survey in 1977. In 1974 the Navy Department began a new exploratory program in Alaska's Naval 

Petroleum Reserve No. 4. The program was expanded with funds authorized by Congress. The Naval Petroleum 

Reserves Production Act of April 5, 1976 (90 Stat. L., 303), renamed the reserve the National Petroleum Reserve in 

Alaska and assigned the Department of the Interior oversight of the exploratory program and other duties associated 

with management of the reserve. In 1977 these tasks were delegated to the USGS. The program was terminated in 

1982 and the oil and gas fields turned over to the North Slope Borough.

In 1982 the Minerals Management Service (MMS) was created by Secretarial Order 3071 (January 19, 1982) and 

amendment 1 (May 10, 1982) under the authority of Section 2 of Reorganization Plan 3 of 1950. The same year 

administrative functions relating to outer-continental-shelf leasing responsibilities in the Conservation Division were 

transferred to MMS. The following year revenue-management responsibilities of the Conservation Division were 

also transferred. Onshore leasing responsibilities on public and Indian lands were transferred to the Bureau of Land 

Management.

In 1993 Secretarial Order 3173 (September 29, 1993) established a National Biological Survey in the Department 

of the Interior composed of functions transferred from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park 

Service, Bureau of Land Management, Minerals Management Service, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and 

Enforcement, United States Geological Survey, and Bureau of Reclamation. The agency, renamed the National 

Biological Service in 1995, was responsible for providing scientific support and other assistance to other Federal 

agencies in forming policies that would effect the conservation and management of the biological resources of the 

United States. In 1996 the National Biological Service was abolished under the provisions of the act of April 26, 

1996 (110 Stat L., 1321-165) and its functions transferred to the USGS, where it was reconstituted as the Biological 

Resources Division.

The United States Bureau of Mines was abolished under provisions of the act of April 26, 1996 (110 Stat. L., 

1321-167). Functions relating to minerals information and analysis were transferred to the USGS.

An important source of related records is Record Group 48, Records of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior. 

The USGS has been a bureau of the Department of the Interior since the agency's establishment in 1879. The records 

of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior contain many series that document departmental oversight of the 

functions and programs of the USGS. The records of the Office of the Secretary are organized in two major subgroups, pre-1907 and post-1907. The information presented herein is intended to highlight those series that contain 

readily identifiable and significant records relating to the USGS. Where entire series are cited the dates given are those 

of the series and not necessarily the items contained in the series that relate to the USGS.
An inventory of Record Group 48, Records of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior is available at the 

National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

In the pre-1907 records administrative oversight of the USGS is documented in the letters received and letters sent 

of the Patents and Miscellaneous Division. Four other series in this division also contain records relating to the 

USGS and its predecessor surveys: (1) letters received relating to the United States Entomological Commission, 

1877-80; (2) letters relating to the Geological Survey and its predecessors, 1868-80; (3) reports of the Geological 

Survey, 1883-87; and (4) records relating to forest reserves, 1891-1902. Matters in which the USGS was involved 

relating to areas under the jurisdiction of the General Land Office or the Bureau of Indian Affairs were handled through 

the Lands and Railroads Division and the Indian Division, respectively, and are documented in the letters received and 

letters sent of those divisions. The records of the Lands and Railroads Division also include a series of records 

relating to specific reclamation projects, 1889-1907. The records of the Appointments Division included several 

series that contain records relating to the USGS: (1) central office appointment papers, 1849-1907, which include a 

few files items relating to the nomination and appointment of Directors of the USGS, including Clarence King, John 

W. Powell, and Charles D. Walcott; (2) departmental appointment papers, 1879-1906, which concern the 

appointment of the USGS's scientific and technical employees, clerks, messengers, and others, but not seasonal field 

employees who were hired in the field; and (3) record cards for employees of the USGS, 1918 (for individuals with 

surnames beginning with the letters L-Z).

In the post-1907 records the central classified files contain significant records about the USGS. In the central 

classified files dated 1907-53, most of the records documenting oversight of the USGS are in section 7 - Geological 

Survey. There are also related files in section 1 - Administrative, section 8 - Bureau of Reclamation, and section 11- 

Bureau of Mines. The central classified files dated 1954-58 contain pertinent records in section 3 - Geological Survey. 

The later central files, 1959-63, 1964-68, and 1968-72 include information about the USGS dispersed among many 

programs areas. Other post-1907 records also contain records about USGS activities. The general subject files, 1939- 

58, of the Office of the Solicitor include files titled Geological Survey, oil and gas, water and power, and the outer 

continental shelf. The records of the Division of Information include press releases relating to the USGS in several 

sub-series dated 1938-61, 1959-62, and 1963-74. The records relating to legislation, in two series dated 1907-53, and 

1954-58, are an important source of information about legislative mandates that affected USGS programs. The 

records concerning the department war history, 1941-48, contain a draft history of USGS activities during World War 

II. The general records, 1946-51, of the Minerals and Fuels Division; the central files, 1947-53, of the Program 

Staff; and the central classified files, 1937-56, of the Division of Land Utilization contain files titled Geological 

Survey.

Several bureaus were formed entirely, or in part, or enhanced from functions that originated in the USGS. 

The records of those agencies that are found in the National Archives are designated: Record Group 49, Records of the 

Bureau of Land Management (created when the Division of Grazing, formed from functions transferred from the 

USGS, was merged with the General Land Office); Record Group 70, Records of the United States Bureau of Mines; 

Record Group 90, Records of the Public Health Service; Record Group 95, Records of the Forest Service; Record 

Group 115, Records of the Bureau of Reclamation; and Record Group 423, Records of the Minerals Management 

Service.

Other records that contain information about cooperation with the USGS include Record Group 9, Records of the 

National Recovery Administration; Record Group 23, Records of the Coast and Geodetic Survey; Record Group 27, 

Records of the Weather Bureau; Record Group 68, Records of the United States Coal Commission; Record Group 77, 

Records of the Office of the Chief of Engineers; Record Group 79, Records of the National Park Service; Record 

Group 106, Records of the Smithsonian Institution; Record Group 114, Records of the Soil Conservation Service; 

Record Group 126, Records of the Office of Territories; Record Group 135, Records of the Public Works 

Administration; Record Group 138, Records of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (formerly the Federal 

Power Commission); Record Group 142, Records of the Tennessee Valley Authority; Record Group 232, Records of 

the Petroleum Administrative Board; Record Group 298, Records of the Office of Naval Research; Records Group
320, Records of the Office of Minerals Exploration; Records Group 324, Records of the Board on Geographic Names; 

and Record Group 326, Records of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Summary descriptions of the records comprising each of the record groups are in the "Guide to Federal Records in 

the National Archives of the United States" (1995). The Guide also described records of the United States Geological 

Survey that are located in NARA field branches. The USGS records in the National Archives Branches are records and 

files that were created or maintained by the field offices of the USGS.

More than 20,000 USGS field notebooks or files, 2,600 map groups, 2,000 folders, and 70,000 aerial photos 

(some annotated) that remain in the custody of the agency are in the Field Records Library, Special Collections, 

USGS Library, Denver, Colorado, where they support the agency's work-in-progress. These materials, which date 

from 1871, include field and compilation maps, annotated topographic maps, planetable sheets, correspondence, drafts 

of papers, unpublished reports, well logs, and analysis reports.

The records described in this inventory constitute Record Group 57, Records of the United States Geological 

Survey in the National Archives of the United States. The records are located in Archives II in College Park, 

Maryland. This inventory includes all the records of the United States Geological Survey that were accessioned to the 

National Archives as of December 31, 1997. The records consist of textual materials, maps and plans, aerial 

photographs, still photographs, motion pictures, and sound recordings. The textual records are in the custody of the 

Textual Archives Services Division (NWCTC). The non-textual records are in the custody of the Special Media 

Archives Services Division (NWCS). The footage given is in linear feet unless otherwise stated.

The records in this inventory are organized in sections by the organizational units that created or maintained the 

records. Thereunder the records are described in series. A series is defined as a collection of records that is arranged by 

a systematic filing system (decimal, alphabetical, chronological, map series), that share a unique format (indexes, 

geologists' field notebooks, microfiche), or were maintained as a set of files by an organizational unit to document a 

program area or function. Whenever possible the nontextual records (maps and plans, aerial photographs, still 

pictures, motion pictures) are described with related textual records. The nontextual materials that do not relate to any 

particular series of textual records; they are described in a general category at the division level. All the appendices, 

with the exception of Appendix 1 (a select list of legislation) and Appendix 7 (a summary list of series contents), are 

complete file-title lists.

The nontextual records are maintained in specialized custodial units. The maps and plans, aerial photographs, still 

pictures, and motion pictures are in the Special Media Archives Services Division (NWCS) in the National Archives 

and are accompanied by the designation NWCS. A few nontextual records are filed with the textual records and are so 

indicated with the series description.

Sources for the history of the USGS include the three volumes by Mary C. Rabbitt, "Minerals, Lands, Geology 

for the Common Defence and General Welfare, Volume 1, Before 1879" (1979), "Volume 2, 1879-1904" (1980), and 

"Volume 3, 1904-1939" (1986) published by the U. S. Government Printing Office as USGS Special Books. 

A fourth volume (1939-1979) is being prepared. Earlier analyses comprise those by Charles D. Walcott, 1904, "The 

United States Geological Survey: Its Origin, Development, Organization, and Operations," USGS Bulletin 227, and 

the Institute for Government Research (IGR), 1918, "The United States Geological Survey, Its History, Activities, 

and Organization" published in New York and London by D. Appleton & Company as its Service Monograph of the 

United States Government No. 1. A book-length interpretive history of the early years of the USGS is Thomas G.

the Winning of the American West," published in New York by Alfred A. Knopf.
Cooperation between the USGS and NARA in the years since 1980 facilitated the production of this inventory. 

The compiler thanks Clifford Nelson (USGS) and Sharon Thibodeau (NARA) for their encouragement and 

supervision. At NARA, archivists Charles Dewing, William Heynen, Deborah Lelansky, Edward McCarter, Michele 

Pacifico, Joseph Schwarz, Richard Smith, Alan Walker, and Charles Zaid contributed to the completion of the work. 

Nelson and Robert Kvasnicka (NARA) also served as technical reviewers and revisers of the draft versions. 

The inventory was edited using the standards of the USGS and the U.S. Government Printing Office.
RECORDS OF THE PREDECESSOR SURVEYS, 1847-82

United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel 

("King Survey"), 1867-81

The United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel was founded by an act of Congress for 

legislative, executive, and judicial expenses dated March 2, 1867 (14 Stat. L., 457). The legislation authorized "the 

Secretary of War to direct a geological and topographical exploration of the Territory between the Rocky Mountains 

and the Sierra Nevada mountains, including the route or routes of the Pacific (transcontinental) railroad." 

Civilian geologist Clarence King was placed in charge of the reconnaissance. On March 21, Brigadier General 

Andrew A, Humphreys, Chief of the Army Corps of Engineers, directed King to map and examine and describe the 

geological structure, geographical condition, and natural resources of this belt of country, especially its economically 

important mineral deposits and mining districts. Humphreys later extended the work to the eastern slope of the 

Rockies. King's organization completed its field work in 1872 and published all but one of its final reports before 

King closed has accounts and resigned his appointment on January 18, 1879. O. C. Marsh's "Odontornithes," the 

exploration's last volume, appeared in 1880. For a list of these reports, see Laurence F. Schmeckebier, 1904, 

"Catalogue and Index of the Publications of the Hayden, King, Powell, and Wheeler Surveys," USGS Bulletin 222.

Geologists' field notebooks compiled during the survey by Clarence King (No. 5243) and Samuel F. Emmons 

(Nos. 1108 to 1113) are part of the records described in entry 172.

United States Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region

("Powell Survey"), 1869-82

John Wesley Powell began his first exploration of the Colorado River in 1869 with appropriations (15 Stat. 

L., 253, June 11, 1868) for rations for his party to be issued by the Secretary of War. An act of July 12, 1870 (16 

Stat. L., 242), made a direct appropriation for the survey of the Colorado River and its tributaries to be expended 

under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior. From 1871 to 1873 the explorations were conducted under the 

sponsorship of the Smithsonian Institution. With the act of June 23, 1874 (18 Stat. L., 207), Congress returned 

supervision of Powell's western survey to the Secretary of the Interior where it was renamed the "Geological and 

Geographical Survey of the Territories, Second Division." Beginning with the appropriation act of July 31, 1876 (19 

Stat. L., 120), the survey became known as the United States Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky 

Mountain Region. The survey was terminated on June 30, 1879, by the act of March 3, 1879 (20 Stat. L., 394), the 

same law that created the USGS.

Some photographs relating to the "Powell Survey" are part of a general collection that is described in entry 41.

United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories 

("Hayden Survey"), 1847-81

The western surveys led by Ferdinand V. Hayden were begun under the provisions of the act of Congress dated 

March 2, 1867 (14 Stat. L., 470), that supplied appropriations to meet Federal funding deficiencies. The legislation 

authorized "a geological survey of Nebraska ... under the direction of the commissioner of the general land office." 

The next year the work was expanded beyond Nebraska by the act of July 20, 1868 (15 Stat. L., 119). From 1869 to 

1873, Hayden's organization was known as the U. S. Geological Survey of the Territories; the act of June 22, 1874 

(18 Stat. L., 143), added "and Geographical" to its title. Work was done in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, 

and Wyoming. This survey was terminated on June 30, 1879, by the act of March 3, 1879 (20 Stat. L., 394), the 

same law that founded the USGS.

Some photographs relating to the "Hayden Survey" are part of a general collection that is described in entry 41.

United States Geographical Surveys West of the One Hundredth Meridian 

("Wheeler Survey"), 1871-80

The linear topographic surveys of the western United States conducted by the War Department before the Civil 

War were revived when 1st Lieutenant George M. Wheeler, of the Army Corps of Engineers, received orders to make 

a mapping reconnaissance of portions of southern Nevada to identify sites for military posts and transportation routes 

to improve communications in the Department of California. In 1871 Wheeler extended his geographical (and then 

also geological) reconnaissance into Arizona. On June 6, 1872 (17 Stat. L., 367), Congress began funding the plan 

Wheeler had submitted to Brigadier General Andrew A. Humphreys, the Chief of Engineers, for establishing an 

astronomical base from which to map, on 95 same-sized quadrangles, the topography of the entire country west of the 

100th Meridian. Wheeler was promoted to Captain on March 4, 1879. His survey was terminated June 30, 1879, by 

the act of March 3, 1879 (20 Stat. L., 394), that established the USGS.

Some photographs relating to the "Wheeler Survey" are part of a general collection that is described in 

entry 41. Field notebooks compiled by geologist Grove K. Gilbert (Nos. 3372 to 3390) are part of the records 

described in entry 172.

The major portion of the records from the "Wheeler Survey" are in Record Group 77, Records of the Office of the 

Chief of Engineers; other records are at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and at Yale University.

by 1st Lieutenant George M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers, in Charge." The report, published in 1874, concerns 

astronomical, geological, and natural-history observations; reconnaissances of mining districts in Arizona, Nevada, 

and Utah; agriculture and irrigation; communication routes; sites for military posts; timber lands; Indians; Colorado 

River canyons; and an analysis of the organization and progress of Wheeler's western explorations to 1872. The

RECORDS OF THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, 1839-1997

Office of the Director, 1879-1987

The act of March 3, 1879 (20 Stat. L., 394) that established the USGS provided for the appointment of a 

Director, nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The act made the Director responsible for planning 

and administering the programs of the USGS in accordance with the provisions of the establishing act and subsequent 

legislation, and for functioning as the agency's chief scientific officer. In the early years the Secretary of the Interior, 

acting on the Director's recommendations, appointed the permanent members of the USGS staff; the Director made 

temporary appointments. The Director also selected the leaders of the agency's geographic, thematic, and other 

administrative units, supervised their work, and reviewed the progress and reports documenting the data gathered and 

analyses made by their field and laboratory investigations. The Director was assisted in these administrative and 

related duties by an Executive Officer (1881-94), a Chief Clerk (from 1881), a General Assistant (1883-92), and an 

Assistant in Geology to the Director (1897-1900).

Legislative mandates and increased appropriations expanded the administrative responsibilities of the Director. By 

1901 geologic (including hydrographic) and topographic investigations were administered by established 

organizational units headed by individuals with dual scientific and administrative responsibilities. In 1912 the 

position of Administrative Geologist was created (Survey Order 14) to serve as the Director's administrative deputy 

and as Acting Director in the absence of the Director.

The position of Assistant Director was established in 1944. That individual was to serve as a "principal assistant 

to and deputy of the Director, with commensurate authority" (Survey Order 147). In general the Assistant Director 

advised the Director on the long-term scientific and technical programs of the USGS. The Administrative Geologist 

chiefly handled matters relating to the daily management and administration of the agency.

Other specialized staff and advisory positions added to the Directors Office included the Staff Geologist for 

Territories and Island Possessions in 1946 (Survey Order 156; later Staff Coordinator), and the reestablished Executive 

Officer in 1948 (Survey Order 169). With the creation of the position of Executive Officer, the Administrative 

Geologist was made responsible for serving as a scientific consultant to the Director. In the 1950's the positions of 

Associate Director and Assistant Director were added to the Director's Office.

In the 1920's George W. Holland transferred from the General Land Office to the USGS and joined the staff as a 

land classifier. Holland was trained as an attorney and gave legal advice on matters under review by the Land 

Classification Board (later Conservation Branch). He was eventually reclassified as an Attorney in that branch. 

As part of a departmental reorganization in 1935 Holland was transferred to the Solicitor's staff in the Office of the 

Secretary of the Interior. In 1943 the Secretary of the Interior established the Office of Chief Counsel in the USGS. 

In 1947 the Chief Counsel's Office was organizationally placed in the Conservation Branch. In 1950 the Office of 

the Chief Counsel of the USGS was assigned to the Director's Office (Survey Order 205).

Under the authority of Reorganization Plan 3 of 1950 the Survey underwent an lengthy evaluation and 

reorganization process that ultimately reserved some of the authority that had been exercised by the Director to the 

Secretary of the Interior and reoriented the location and lines of authority in the operating units.

A typescript index to the letters received described in entry 44 showing the names of writers followed by the 

subject and file number of each of their letters. Entries for persons mentioned and subjects give a cross reference to 

the names of the writers. When a letter is referred to the USGS by another agency or member of Congress, a cross 

reference is made under the author's name to the agency or individual that forwarded the letter. When a person is the 

subject of a letter a cross reference is made to the author where an abstract of the contents appear.

These records have been published as part of National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Microfilm 

Publication M590, "Letters Received by the United States Geological Survey, 1879-1901."

43. REGISTERS OF LETTERS RECEIVED. January 8, 1879 - November 12, 1901. 4 ft. 26 vols.

with other Federal agencies and States, coal-land classification, mineral-resource investigations, withdrawal of land for 

water-power sites and other uses, and personnel matters. A few items are marked personal and confidential. A few 

letters are marked with correspondence control numbers assigned when the letter was received and indexed (see entry 

50).

Of particular interest are two manuscripts: "Report on a proposed system of administration and improvement of 

the Glacier National Park," 1910, by Robert B. Marshall [Cooperation - Federal], and "The Physical History of the 

Yosemite Valley," 1922 by Frangois E. Matthes [Yosemite Valley].

50. CORRESPONDENCE CONTROL CARDS. 1918-48. 175ft.

The cards are divided into two groups. The first group of cards, from the years 1918-22, is organized in two 

segments. The first segment is arranged alphabetically by surname of correspondent, title of organization or agency, 

and thereunder chronologically. The second segment is arranged alphabetically by title of Federal agency and 

thereunder chronologically.

The second group of cards, from 1923-48, is organized chronologically by year and thereunder in two alphabetical 

sequences by surname of individual and title of agency or organization. This group also includes cards for internal 

communications from unit chiefs to the Director and memoranda from the Director to unit chiefs. There is only one 

set of cards for the years 1946 and 1947.

The 4"x 6" cards typically show the name of correspondent, date of receipt, assigned control number, date of 

letter, subject or abstract of contents, referrals, date of reply, and file disposition. Some cards also show a file number 

from the classification scheme shown in Appendix 3 in this inventory.

Most of the letters were referred to and filed in the Central Classified Files of the Office of the Director (entry 

51). A few letters are found in entry 49. Letters are also found in the central files of the major program divisions: 

Geologic Division (entries 159 and 160), Topographic Division, later National Mapping Division (entry 288), Water 

Resources Division (entry 412), and Conservation Division (entry 642).

Because the cards are arranged by correspondent rather than by subject, the correspondence control cards have a 

limited usefulness for research purposes.

Office of the Chief Geographer, 1943-80

Arch C. Gerlach was appointed Chief Geographer of the USGS in 1967. Since 1962 Gerlach had been on a parttime detail to the USGS from his position as Chief of the Geography and Map Division at the Library of Congress. 

He held the position of Staff Geographer and was responsible for organizing and managing the National Atlas Project. 

In 1966 he was also assigned responsibility for overseeing the newly inaugurated Geographic Applications Program 

in the USGS. The program was initiated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which funded 

research centers in several government agencies to study the application of data from remote sensors in aircraft and 

spacecraft to cartography, geology, hydrology, and other disciplines.

Gerlach retired in 1972 and was succeeded as Chief Geographer by James R. Anderson. In 1975 the Geographic 

Applications Program was made part of the newly established Land Information and Analysis Office (LIA). In 1980 

the LIA was renamed the Office of Earth Science Applications and the LIA's Geography Program was transferred to 

the National Mapping Division.

Records relating to the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History, 1943-80

The Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH) was created in 1928 by a resolution of the 

sixth Inter-American Conference of Ministers in Havana. The Institute's mission is to encourage, coordinate, and 

publicize geographic and historical studies concerning the Western Hemisphere and to promote international 

cooperation among the American nations in these fields. In 1929 the Institute's headquarters were established as a 

General Secretariat in Mexico City. The organization functioned independently until 1949 when it was absorbed by 

the Organization of American States (OAS) and became the first of six specialized institutes.

The Institute's work is accomplished through its General Assembly, Directing Council, General Secretariat, 

Commissions, and National Sections. The General Assembly, usually meeting quadrennially, and Directing Council, 

usually meeting annually, are responsible for determining administrative and program policies that are implemented 

by the General Secretariat. In 1943, 1947, 1949, and 1969, respectively, Commissions on Cartography, Geography, 

History, and Geophysics were created to concentrate efforts in these specialized fields. Most technical work is 

performed by the Commissions, their Committees, and their Working Groups. A quadrennial Consultation 

(Conference) is held by each Commission at which current projects are evaluated, new projects are authorized, and 

scholarly and technical presentations are made. Each member nation is represented in equal numbers in the General 

Assembly, Directing Council, and Commissions. A National Section is comprised of all the members of a particular 

nation's delegation to PAIGH.

Administrative Division, 1879-1972

In the early years of the USGS, the Director administered the agency's programs and supervised its personnel with 

the sometime assistance of an Executive Officer, a General Assistant, a Chief Disbursing Clerk, and a Chief Clerk, 

who was responsible for the preparation of USGS letters and reports, action on incoming letters, and preparation of 

forms and maintenance of other records relating to appointments and personnel. In 1894 the Director merged these and 

other functions in an Administrative Branch. The new branch included a Division of Documents, Correspondence, and 

Records; the Library; and a Division of Disbursements and Accounts. A decade later the Administrative Branch 

comprised three divisions Executive, Disbursements and Accounts, and Illustrations and the Library.

By 1920 the Administrative Branch was composed of the Executive Division, Division of Accounts, Division of 

Scientific and Technical Field Equipment, and the Library. In 1925 the Administrative Branch was abolished by 

Survey Order 116, but the functions and duties of the former Branch remained under the supervision of the Chief Clerk. 

In 1948 Survey Order 168 abolished the position of Chief Clerk and the Administrative Geologist temporarily assumed 

supervision of many of the Chief Clerk's duties. That same year the position of Executive Officer was reestablished 

by Survey Order 169 as a staff position in the Director's Office to advise the Director in matters relating to business 

management with supervision of functions formerly under the Chief Clerk. Supervision of the Library had been 

transferred to the Geologic Branch in 1947.

In 1953 Survey Order 222 established an Administrative Division under the Executive Officer comprised of the 

Budget Office, Organization and Management Office, Accounts Branch, Service and Supply Branch, and Rocky 

Mountain Service and Supply Branch, in Denver, Colorado (established in 1951). In the next two years the USGS 

established within the division a Pacific Coast Branch, in Menlo Park, California, a Mid-Continent Branch in Rolla, 

Missouri, and an Atlantic Branch, in Washington, D.C.

and set forth the formal procedures for preparing and processing contracts, authorizations, travel orders, and other forms. 

Both issuances were replaced by the Manual Releases which gave notice of official changes in the official Manual of 

the USGS. Survey Orders supplemented the Manual in providing detailed explanations of organizational changes, 

definitions of unit functions and relationships, and the establishment of USGS boards, committees, and other advisory 

bodies. Administrative Digests were intended to inform succinctly USGS managers about all changes or actions that 

effected agency policy and programs.

Division of Book Publication, ca. 1874-1995

In the early years of the USGS the Director, the Executive Officer, and the Chief Clerk oversaw the editing of the 

agency's publications. By 1884 the volume of manuscript material to be reviewed prompted the Director to delegate 

regular editorial responsibility to an Editor. In 1894 a Publications Branch was established composed of an Editorial 

Division (thereunder Sections of Textual Publications, Geologic Maps, and Topographic Maps), a Division of 

Illustrations (thereunder a Photographic Laboratory), and a Division Engraving and Printing.

In 1912 the functions of the Branch were placed under the supervision of the Administrative Geologist. In 1953 

Survey Order 223 established a Publications Office. In 1959, by Survey Order 252, that Office was succeeded by a 

Publications Division under the supervision of a Publications Officer. The Division consisted of the Office of the 

Division Chief, the Branch of Texts, the Branch of Technical Illustrations, the Branch of Map Reproduction, and the 

Branch of Distribution. In 1980 the Publications Division was abolished; its responsibilities for producing texts and 

maps were assigned, respectively, to the Geologic Division and the National Mapping Division. Responsibility for 

producing geologic maps later passed to the Geologic Division.

Division of Engraving and Printing, 1890-1988

In 1882 the USGS presented its plan of publication for its texts and maps, including general nomenclature, colors 

and symbols for geological cartography, and conventional characters for diagrams. By 24 Stat. L., 255 (August 4, 

1886) Congress prohibited the USGS from preparing illustrations for or publishing its reports until appropriations 

were made for these purposes in response to the detailed estimates of the costs of engraving, printing, and binding 

required from the agency for Fiscal Year 1888 and thereafter. High-quality chromolithographs and other images from 

stone distinguished many of the visual products in the early years of the USGS and those of its four predecessor 

surveys, but the lowest-bid contracts required of the Public Printer also produced nonuniform maps and illustrations. 

In 1890 the USGS hired a Chief Engraver and established the Division of Engraving and Printing. 

In 1894 the division became a part of the Publications Branch.

The Division also did a considerable amount of lithographic work for other Government agencies. The outside 

work during slack intervals enabled the Division to maintain a large enough work force to expeditiously process USGS 

maps during times of heavy demand.

Geologic Division, 1867-1997

The major program areas of the USGS began in the Geologic Division's ancestral units. In 1879 Director King 

organized the USGS in two thematic units (Mining Geology and General Geology) and four geographic-geologic 

divisions (Rocky Mountain, Colorado, Great Basin, and Pacific) west of the 100th Meridian. King planned to 

establish similar geographic units for the region east of that meridian as soon as Congress officially extended USGS 

work outside the public-land States and Territories. Geologists in these divisions studied and mapped stratigraphic 

sequences, geologic structures, and mineral deposits. They were accompanied in the field by topographers who 

produced the large- to small-scale cartography required as bases for the geologic maps. Investigations and mapping by 

the field parties generated data and analyses that informed the early work of the Land Classification Board.

By the late-1880's Director Powell had abolished King's geographic-geologic divisions and their headquarters at 

Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. In their place he created a geologic unit of nine geographic and three 

thematic divisions, supported by eight divisions six of paleontology, one of chemistry and physics, and one of 

petrography all of which were centered at Washington, D.C. In 1889 Powell combined all these divisions in a 

Geologic Branch led by Grove K. Gilbert, who served as its "Chief Geologist" until 1892 when that position and the 

paleontologic units were discontinued. Charles D. Walcott, as "Geologist in charge of Geology and Paleontology" 

during 1893-94, abolished the remaining divisions and organized the staff as a single unit. Each experienced geologist 

and paleontologist was made chief of an independent field party, to carry out with younger aides geologic investigations 

within specific regions. These chiefs continued to report to Walcott after he became the third Director. In 1900 

Walcott reorganized the Geologic Branch into eight thematic divisions, each in charge of a specialist, to separate the 

scientific and administrative control of the work. In 1902, Walcott united the Divisions of Areal Geology, Pleistocene 

Geology, Paleontology, Economic Geology or Metalliferous Deposits, and Economic Geology of Nonmetalliferous 

Deposits, as the Division of Geology and Paleontology. To head the new division, Walcott selected C. Willard Hayes, 

who led the nonmetalliferous unit, as the "Geologist in Charge." In 1907, just before he became the Smithsonian 

Institution's fourth Secretary, Walcott requested the Secretary of the Interior to change Hayes' title to "Chief 

Geologist." As Chief Geologist, Hayes led a Geologic Branch composed of the Geologic Division (also known as the 

Division of Geology and Paleontology), the Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources, the Division of Mining and 

Mineral Resources, and the Division of Chemical and Physical Research.

Reorganizations continued in the Geologic Branch after 1904. In 1944 the Geologic Branch was recast into three 

divisions - Administrative Division, Division of Economic Geology, and Division of Areal Geology and Basic 

Sciences. In 1946 the Division of Economic Geology comprised the sections of Metalliferous Deposits, NonMetalliferous Deposits, Fuels, Trace Elements, and Foreign Geology. The Division of Areal Geology and Basic 

Sciences was composed of the sections of Engineering Geology, Areal Geology, Chemistry and Physics, Paleontology 

and Stratigraphy, Geophysics, Petrology, Military Geology, and Geologic Information and Reports.

The appropriations act of August 7, 1882 (22 Stat. L., 329), directed the USGS to undertake the collection of 

statistics relating to mines and mining, other than gold and silver. A core staff was formed to do the work. That staff 

became the Division of Mining and Mineral Resources. The statistical compilations prepared by the Division were 

published annually as "Mineral Resources of the United States." The Division was transferred to the Bureau of Mines 

in 1926. In 1996 a portion of the disestablished Bureau of Mines joined the Geologic Division as its Minerals 

Information Team.

Chemical laboratories were established in the Denver and San Francisco field offices in 1880 and 1882, 

respectively, to conduct analyses of rock and mineral samples. The act of August 7, 1882, specifically directed the 

USGS to make chemical analysis of iron, coal, and oil. In 1883 a central laboratory was set up in Washington, D.C. 

under a Chief Chemist. By 1890 the two field laboratories were closed and all the analysis work was centered at 

headquarters. There are no records of the Division described in the inventory, but there are records concerning the 

Division in the central files of the Geologic Branch (entries 159 and 160).

54
Cooperative geologic mapping and research with the States began in 1899.

A Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources was established in 1903 and became an independent branch in 

1922. The Land Classification Board was established in 1908 and became an independent branch in 1912.

In 1947 administrative oversight of the Library was transferred from the Office of the Chief Clerk to the Geologic 

Branch.

To handle increased administrative demands on the Chief Geologist and coordinate programs of the Division, the 

staff position of Executive Officer was established in 1947. In 1948 two Assistant Chief Geologists were appointed. 

In 1949 the Branch was renamed the Geologic Division and the Divisions were converted to Branches with subordinate 

sections. By 1953 many of the sections had been reorganized as branches. Several branches had been relocated to field 

offices, including the Engineering Geology and General Geology Branches in Denver, the Alaskan Geology Branch in 

San Francisco, and a small, but growing, branch of the Library in Denver.

Arranged in two collections by assigned number. The first series of numbers were assigned to notebooks 

accessioned by the USGS Library up to 1953 when a new series of numbers was begun. The second collection is 

differentiated by the notation "No." before each number. Often notebooks compiled by one individual or concerning 

one geographic area or project carry sequential numbers. Some notebooks contain an index to their contents. A list of 

the microfiche copies appears as Appendix 12 in this inventory. These copies are on negative diazo fiche.

The notebooks contain notes and narrative observations on geologic strata (often identified by quadrangle, atlas 

sheet, or geographic region), including correlations, profiles, and vertical-angle traverse measurements, topographic 

features, coal, petroleum, phosphate, iron, and other mineral deposits, mineral-land classification, well logs, and 

mining operations, including copies of data from mining company records, and sketches of mine workings.

Also included are itineraries, transmittal letters, memorandums, drafts of professional papers, lecture notes, lists 

(of rock specimens, thin sections, and photographs), newspaper clippings, index cards, notes taken from geological 

literature, and reports compiled by chemists and engineers.

65
There are sets of notebooks concerning geographic areas such as the goldbelt regions in California and Eastern 

Oregon, the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, coal fields in Montana, brown-iron areas in east Texas, mineral fuels in 

Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, and oil and gas fields in Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Kansas, and special projects 

such as railway guidebooks, the Black Hills Rim Project, and a study of the ecological features of the Sagadohoe Bay 

tidal flat (Maine). There are also notes concerning observations in British Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, 

Haiti, and Paraguay. The notebooks that predate the establishment of the USGS were compiled by geologists 

associated with the direct predecessor surveys.

The original notebooks are in the custody of the USGS Field Records Library in Denver, Colorado. 

The microfiche copies do not duplicate the original notebooks described in entry 172. Some notebook contents are 

typed. Many of the fiche are illegible and as a result compiler and content information on some of the fiche labels 

could not be verified by an examination of the fiche contents.

Records concerning the Geologic Names Committee, 1899-1969

USGS Director Charles D. Walcott established a Committee on Geologic Names on February 17, 1899, "to 

consider all names of geologic formations or other divisions of rock classification with a view to determining whether 

they comply with the rules of nomenclature adopted for the Survey publications and to recommend such action as may 

be advisable in any individual case to secure unity of nomenclature under the rules." Walcott selected Fred B. Weeks as 

the committee's chairman; Weeks reported to Bailey Willis, the Assistant in Geology to the Director. Willis led the 

committee during 1901-3; he and subsequent chairpersons reported to the Chief Geologist. As its initial work, the 

committee compiled and published in 1902 (USGS Bulletin 191) a bibliographic, synonomic, and distributional list of 

North American geologic formations, a project begun by the "Hayden Survey" and continued intermittently by the 

USGS after 1879. This compilation led to the multivolume Lexicon of Geologic Names of the United States. As the 

Geologic Names Committee monitored and standardized geologic names and usage, it also acted as a forum for 

discussion and its members served on national and international committees responsible for the review of codes of 

stratigraphic nomenclature. The three regional review-staff offices established in 1961 became Geologic Names 

Subcommittees in 1995; their chairpersons now form the USGS-wide Geologic Names Committee, led by the 

agency's Chief Paleontologist.

174. MINUTES OF MEETINGS OF THE GEOLOGIC NAMES COMMITTEE. 1899-1969. 8ft. 16 vols. and 

unbound records

Arranged chronologically.

The folder in the first box contains letters to the Director from the Committee on Geologic Names, 1899-1900, 

concerning recommendations on geologic terminology. The 16 volumes contain only minutes of meetings and 

memorandums, 1901-31. The remaining records are chiefly minutes of meetings but also include correspondence, 

memorandums, handwritten notes, stratigraphic correlation charts, and related documents. Some minutes are 

accompanied by sound recordings (on flexible disks).

The meetings concern the approval or disapproval of geologic names used in USGS publications. The USGS was 

concerned with ensuring that staff members used terminology that was in conformance with the Code of Stratigraphic 

Nomenclature adopted in 1933 and subsequently revised in 1961.

The minutes dated 1940-42 (box 11) deal solely with the classification of Carboniferous and Permian rocks.

author, date of publication, and information concerning the geologic names listed. Maps, geologic tables, and 

correspondence are interspersed among the cards. The summaries, dating from 1894 to 1937 (a few extend to 1940), 

were abstracted by M. Grace Wilmarth, Secretary of the Committee on Geologic Names, in connection with the 

compilation of USGS Bulletin 896, "Lexicon of the Geologic Names of the United States (including Alaska)," 

published in 1938.

67
176. STRATIGRAPHIC SUMMARIES OF "OUTSIDE" GEOLOGIC PUBLICATIONS, n.d. 16 ft.

and the names of geologic units with a description of their characteristics. The summaries also contain geologic 

tables and correlation charts. A few oversize maps and tables are included. The summaries are from USGS Bulletins, 

Professional Papers, and other publications, State geologic literature, and professional and scientific journals. 

These summaries were used in compiling correlation charts.

Records relating to West Indian Geologic Surveys, 1917-25

In 1917 the USGS received a letter from the Department of State requesting an investigation of the mineral 

resources of Haiti, in accordance with the Treaty of September 16, 1915, between the United States and Haiti. 

The treaty stated that the United States would aid in the development of the agricultural industries and mineral 

resources of the Haitian Republic.

In 1917 the USGS also received a request from the head of the military government of the Dominican Republic 

soliciting the agency's help in surveying the country's topography, geology, and natural resources. The USGS in 

extending its search for war minerals to the Caribbean and Latin America in 1918, had sent geologist Henry G. 

Ferguson to the Dominican Republic. During the next spring USGS topographer Glenn L. Smith and USGS 

geologist T. Wayland Vaughan visited the Dominican Republic and Haiti to plan the surveys, to be made in 

cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution, Carnegie Institution, and the New York Botanical Garden. On July 1, 

1919, the USGS Topographic Branch established a Division of West Indian Surveys, led by Smith, to organize, 

coordinate, and direct the work to 1923. Geologic Branch geologists were furloughed from the Section of Coastal 

Plain Investigations to conduct the geologic surveys in both countries. In Haiti USGS topographers, also furloughed 

from the agency, experimented with mapping from aerial photographs.

Records of the topographic portion of these USGS surveys of the Dominican Republic have been published as part 

of NARA Microfilm Publication T282, "Geological Survey and Marine Corps Surveys and Maps of the Dominican 

Republic, 1919-1923."

Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch, 1897-1965

Investigations in paleontology have been an integral part of USGS missions since the establishment of the 

agency, whose organic law specified "reports upon general and economic geology and paleontology." The statute also 

required the USGS to deposit its fossils and other scientific collections in the National Museum when the specimens 

were "no longer needed for work in progress." Some of the early work by USGS paleontologists of identifying and 

correlating fossils to aid stratigraphic studies and geologic mapping continued investigations begun by the direct 

predecessor surveys. By the mid-1880's the USGS geologic unit contained five small-sized paleontologic divisions: 

vertebrates, Paleozoic invertebrates, Mesozoic invertebrates, Cenozoic invertebrates, paleobotany, and fossil insects. 

By 1894 these units had been replaced by a combined Division of Paleontology, which was retained during the 

reorganization of the Geologic Branch in 1900 and restyled a section in the Branch's Geology and Paleontology 

Division in 1902. In 1907 the Section was renamed Paleontology and Stratigraphy. During the reorganization of the 

Geologic Branch in 1944, the Section became part of the new Division of Areal Geology and Basic Sciences. 

When the Geologic Branch became a Division in 1949, the Section was restyled the Branch of Paleontology and 

Stratigraphy and continued operations under that name until all of the Geologic Division's branches were disestablished 

during the reorganization in 1995.

Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources, 1901-7

An act of March 2, 1895 (28 Stat. L., 939), appropriated funds specifically for "an investigation of the coal and 

gold resources in Alaska" by the USGS. Since 1889 Survey staff members had accompanied Coast and Geodetic, War 

Department, and privately sponsored expeditions to Alaska and gathered information about its geography and resources. 

Later acts of Congress increased the appropriations and expanded USGS work in Alaska.

The Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources was created in the Geologic Branch in 1903. The Division continued 

the work of preparing geologic and topographic maps of Alaska as part of the mineral-resource investigations. 

Later the Division also was made responsible for water-resources investigations, classification of its public lands, and 

the collection of mineral statistics in Alaska. In 1922 the Division was separated from the Geologic Branch as the 

Alaskan Mineral Resources Branch under a "Chief Alaskan Geologist."

Other records concerning USGS work in Alaska are described in the records of the Staff Geologist for Territories 

and Island Possessions, entry 60; the records of the Alaskan Geology Branch, entries 258-265; records concerning the

Section of Areal Geology, 1907-19

Areal Geology became a operational division in the Geologic Branch in 1900. Two years later the division 

became a section of the Geology and Paleontology Division. Between 1913 and 1922 the unit was divided into the 

Section of Eastern Areal and Structural Geology and Section of Western Areal and Structural Geology. In 1927 the 

section was made part of a new Section of Areal Geology and the Geology of Nonmetalliferous Deposits, which in 

1944 became part of the newly created Division of Economic Geology. In 1945 Areal Geology was separated and 

transferred as a section to the Division of Areal Geology and Basic Sciences. In 1947 Areal Geology was renamed 

General Geology. The section was responsible primarily for investigating the nature and extent of geologic structures; 

its studies also helped to establish regional stratigraphic frameworks. One of the principal goals of the work involved 

improving the geologic map of the United States.

79
Mineral Deposits Branch, 1881-1953

The "examination of the ... mineral resources ... of the national domain" was a part of the founding mission of the 

USGS and a Mining Geology Division was established in 1879 to administer the work. In 1894 the unit was 

reconstituted as the Division of Mineral Resources in the Geologic Branch. In the reorganization of the Geologic 

Branch in 1900 studies of mineral deposits were placed in a Division of Economic Geology, divided into the Section of 

Investigations of Metalliferous Ores and the Section of Nonmetalliferous Economic Deposits. Also called 

Metalliferous Deposits and Nonmetalliferous Deposits, two sections remained coherent entities under several 

organizational units. In 1947 Survey Order 163 merged the two sections as the Mineral Deposits Section in the 

reestablished Division of Economic Geology. The functions of the Section remained the same except for the addition 

of physical-exploration functions transferred from the Bureau of Mines. Surface work such as trenching was assigned 

to the Mineral Deposits Section. Functions associated with geophysical exploration were assigned to the Geophysics 

Branch. In 1949 the Mineral Deposits Section became a Branch.

The functions that became the core work of the Geophysics Section of the Geologic Branch were transferred in 

1936 from the Bureau of Mines under the provisions of 49 Stat. L., 1787, as originally recommended in 1933 by the 

Interior Department's Science Advisory Board. Known originally as the Geophysical Prospecting Section, the unit 

became the Geophysics Section of the Division of Areal Geology and Basic Sciences in 1946, a year before additional 

functions relating to geophysical exploration were transferred to it from the Bureau of Mines. The Section conducted 

magnetic, electrical, gravimetric, seismic, and geothermal investigations. The Section, restyled a Branch in 1949, 

continued to exist as a unit through several reorganizations of the Geologic Division. In 1961 the Geophysics Branch 

was renamed the Theoretical Geophysics Branch; in the following year, the Branch was transferred from the Division's 

Office of Geologic Processes to its new Office of Experimental Geology.

In 1945 the USGS began a study of volcanoes in the Aleutian Islands area. The work was initially funded by the 

Military Intelligence Division of the Office of the Chief of Engineers. After World War II funding was provided by the 

Office of Naval Research. At first the work was assigned to the Alaskan Branch. After the Alaskan Branch was 

abolished in 1946, and its geologic work was transferred to the Geologic Branch, the Aleutian volcano investigations 

were assigned to the Geophysics Section.

In 1948 the Geophysics Section, in cooperation with the United States Navy, conducted a preliminary

The Alaskan Geology Branch was established in 1946 with headquarters located in San Francisco, California, and a 

coordination and liaison office in Washington, D. C. The branch was made responsible for all the functions of the 

Alaskan Section of the former Alaskan and Foreign Geology Branch. The new branch also assumed the functions and 

responsibilities of the Aleutian Investigations Unit of the Areal Geology Branch.

The Navy Oil Unit, also referred to as the Navy Oil Program, had been organizationally part of the former Alaskan 

Section, but was managed from the Director's Office. Beginning in 1944 USGS geologists mapped the surface geology, 

studied subsurface samples and geophysical data, and conducted airborne-magnetic surveys to improve their understanding 

of the geologic framework and assess the resources potential of areas within and adjacent to Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 

4. In 1945 the Navy Department transferred a portion of an appropriation made to investigate the oil prospects to the 

USGS, whose personnel operated out of a field office and laboratory in Fairbanks, Alaska.

In 1945 an Operating Committee was formed, which functioned as a Board of Directors for the entire exploratory 

program. The committee was originally made up of the Director of Naval Petroleum Reserves, the Director of the 

USGS, the Project Manager of Arctic Contractors, a representative of Hoover, Curtice, and Ruby, a representative of the 

Secretary of the Navy, and a representative of the Bureau of Yards and Docks. A representative of the Army-Navy 

Petroleum Board was added later. Although funding for exploratory work ceased in 1953, geologists continued to work in 

the vicinity of the Reserve. Between 1977 and 1982 the USGS managed a Navy- and Interior-sponsored program of 

exploration to access the oil and gas potential of the entire reserve, which had been renamed in 1976 the National 

Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.

Fuels Branch, 1908-96

Beginning in 1908 a number of organizational units were formed in the Geologic Branch to investigate the 

occurrence and extent of mineral-fuel deposits. In 1913 the two geographic-fuels units in the Section of Economic 

Geology were given separate status as the Sections of Eastern and Western Mineral Fuels. In 1917 these sections 

were recast by commodity as well as geography in three sections~the Geology of Eastern Coal Fields, the Geology of 

Western Coal Fields, and the Geology of Oil and Gas Fields. The two coal sections were merged as the Geology of 

Coal Fields in 1919. The coal and oil-gas units were consolidated in 1924 as the Geology of Fuels Section. In 1949 

the Fuels Section was restyled the Fuels Branch. In the 1960's the Fuels Branch became the Branch of Organic Fuels 

and then the Branch of Organic Fuel and Chemical Resources. The latter unit again was divided by commodity in 1972 

into the Branches of Oil and Gas Resources, Coal Resources, Chemical Resources, and Uranium-Thorium. 

The first two of these units retained their names after 1972. During the 1980's the Branch of Chemical Resources 

was renamed Sedimentary Mineral Resources before being merged with the Uranium-Thorium unit as the Branch of 

Energy Minerals.

Military Geology Branch, ca. 1918-64

The Geologic Branch established an informal unit in June 1942 to prepare "geologic reports for military use in 

areas of strategic importance." The Military Geology Unit (MGU) was equivalent organizationally to a Section. 

The MGU operated under an interdepartmental cooperative agreement, formalized the following October, between the 

War and Interior Departments. With direction and funds from the Office of the Chief of Engineers, the MGU's staff 

prepared intelligence reports about the terrain, engineering concerns, soils and geology, ground-water resources, and 

available construction materials on the areas selected by the Army Engineers. The MGU played a significant role in 

planning for the invasion of Sicily, but its work thereafter in World War II was focused on the Pacific.

The MGU was formalized as in 1946 and restyled a Branch in 1949. The Military Geology Branch (MGB) 

conducted a wide range of special studies for the U.S. Army and its Engineers, the U.S. Air Force, the Defense 

Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the Civilian Intelligence Agency. The MGB's Strategic Studies (1945-72) contributed 

to the comprehensive, small-scale products of the National Intelligence Survey. Other Cold-War programs by the 

MGB included Pacific Engineer Intelligence (1959-65), Pacific Geologic Surveys (1946-62), Alaska Terrain and 

Permafrost (1947-65), USGS Team in Europe (1954-64), Austere Landing Sites (1956-70), Special Intelligence (1959- 

72), and Nuclear-Test Detection (1962-72). In 1960 the USGS established a Special Projects Branch (SPB); the SPB 

and the MGB reported to the Office of Interagency Programs and Special Services. Administrative control of the two 

branches passed to the Assistant Chief Geologist (ACG) for Engineering Geology in 1963 and to the ACG for 

Environmental Geology in 1969. Most of the MGB's functions had been given to the DIA and other agencies before 

the Branch was disestablished in 1972. The SPB was discontinued in 1980.

National Mapping Division, 1853-1995

Operations by the USGS Topographic Branch originated in part in the practice by the "King Survey," from its 

beginning in 1867, of mapping topography and geology simultaneously in the field. The territorial surveys led by 

Hayden and Powell adopted this method early in the 1870's. When Congress did not establish the proposed 

"Coast and Interior Survey" in 1879 to conduct all geodetic, land-parceling (cadastral), and topographic surveys, 

Director King began within the USGS a modest program of topographic mapping led by Chief Topographic Engineer 

Alien D. Wilson, who had served with the "King Survey" and the "Hayden Survey." Wilson's topographers provided 

the base maps the USGS required for the geologic mapping of mining districts and geologic regions in the West. 

Congress also did not approve restoring the "Wheeler Survey" or establishing an equivalent agency within the 

War Department for national mapping, but an act of August 7, 1882 (22 Stat. L., 329), provided increased funds to the 

USGS "to continue the preparation of a geological map of the United States." As Congress had disapproved earlier 

resolutions to extend officially USGS work outside the public-land States and Territories, this statute was intended by 

its sponsors to authorize the agency's operations nationwide.

Under the new law, Director Powell hired additional topographers and began the nationwide program of 

topographic mapping, supervised by Chief Geographer, Henry Gannett, a veteran of the "Hayden Survey" and the Tenth 

Census. The work and field organization of the USGS Geographic Branch (later Topographic Branch) was organized by 

geographic regions, "but controlled by geologic considerations." Sections of drawing, astronomy and computing, and 

instruments supported the Branch's geographic sections and subsections. In 1888 Congress began making specific 

line-item appropriations for topographic surveys.

Director Walcott reorganized the Topographic Branch into the Divisions of Triangulation and Topography and four 

geographic sections in 1894, placed its employees under civil-service rules, and improved the quality of their products. 

In 1896 Walcott transferred Gannett to other duties and took direct administrative charge of the Branch. 

In the same year Congress authorized the placement of bench marks by USGS topographers and the sale to the public 

of their topographic maps. Control of the Branch passed in 1900 to a Topographic Committee led by Richard U. 

Goode, whom King had appointed to the USGS in 1879. In 1907 the Branch was reorganized according to a plan 

prepared by a committee headed by Robert B. Marshall, who was made Chief Geographer in 1908. In 1919 the title of 

the Branch's chief was restored to Chief Topographic Engineer. Claude H. Birdseye led the Topographic Branch 

between 1919 and 1929.

An act of March 3, 1891 (26 Stat. L., 1103), authorized the creation of forest reserves and placed them under the 

administrative control of the Interior Department's General Land Office (GLO). In 1896 Director Walcott established 

within the Topographic Branch a Division of Geography and Forestry, administered by Gannett, to handle matters 

concerned with general geography, including the preparation of papers and the compilation of related maps. The act of 

June 4, 1897 (30 Stat. L., 34), directed the Secretary of the Interior to survey public lands that had been or might be 

designated as forest reserves. An act of February 1, 1905 (33 Stat L., 628), transferred the management of the forest 

reserves, renamed national forests, to the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Forestry, which had been established 

as a Division in 1881. The USGS shifted the classification of the national forests to the Bureau of Forestry, but 

retained as a separate line item the topographic and special surveys of the national forests until they were combined in 

1918 with the general line item for topographic surveys. An act of March 4, 1907 (34 Stat. L., 1269), renamed the 

Bureau of Forestry the Forest Service.

The Topographic Branch continued to be organized chiefly by regions. In 1905 the Branch comprised the 

Divisions of Western Topography, Eastern Topography, and Geography. The field work, processing of field data, and 

map preparation was supported by Sections of Triangulation and Computing, Inspection of Surveying and Mapping, 

and Instruments and Records. In 1907 the Branch reformed its geographic units into Atlantic, Central, Rocky 

Mountain, and Pacific Divisions. By 1921 their support units were organized in sections responsible for computing, 

drafting, inspection and editing, relief maps, and photo mapping. Thomas P. Pendleton served as Chief of the Section 

of Photographic Mapping.

100
During and after World War I the Topographic Branch actively developed or refined techniques and instruments for 

improving aerial photography and using the products to compile maps. Chief Topographic Engineer Birdseye 

encouraged the Branch's experiments with the new photogrammetric methods of mapping for surveys in the 

United States and in Haiti. In 1923 Birdseye led the second half of the USGS survey of the topography along, and the 

water-power, irrigation, and flood-control potential of, the Colorado River; subsequently, he supervised the ground and 

photogrammetric mapping of the site of Hoover Dam. In 1933 the USGS and the new Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA) began cooperative projects that included a multiplex-photogrammetric survey of the entire valley to provide 

coverage by first planimetric and then topographic maps. In World War II some of the TVA-project veterans continued 

the strategic-mapping program for the War Department, including aids to strategic and tactical bombing, and other 

operations in the combat theaters, and the strategic-mineral surveys. Branch personnel also developed the trimetrogon 

method of rapidly producing topographic maps, shaded-relief maps, and aeronautical charts of areas worldwide.

In 1946 the Topographic Branch established the Plans and Coordination Division and Research and Technical 

Control Division as headquarters-staff units to handle administrative matters and coordinate Branch functions. 

The two Staff Engineers appointed in 1945 became Assistant Chief Topographic Engineers in charge of these new 

divisions. They advised the Chief Topographical Engineer on matters relating to long-range planning and program 

development and those involving research strategies and technical standards. In 1949 the Topographic Branch was 

restyled a Division and its subordinate divisions became branches. In the same year, in response to increasing 

exploratory work on the continental shelf, the Division began including on its topographic maps that showed coastal 

and navigable waters information about underwater contours, certain obstructions, and other landmark features.

In 1980 the Topographic Division was reorganized and renamed the National Mapping Division. The Divisions 

received from the Director's Office the Geography Program of its Land Information and Analysis (LIA) Office and the 

major portion of the discontinued Publications Divisions. LIA was renamed the Office of Earth Sciences Applications, 

but discontinued in 1982 and its Earth Resources Observation Systems Program passed to the National Mapping 

Division.

Records concerning the National Cartographic Information Center, 1934-78

In 1919 Executive Order 3206 created the Federal Board of Surveys and Maps, composed of one representative each 

of 14 Federal Agencies and commissions, to coordinate the making of maps, standardize results, and avoid unnecessary 

duplication of work. The Board was instructed to create a central information office in the USGS to collect, classify, 

and furnish to the public information concerning all map and survey data available from Federal and other sources. The 

Topographic Division established a Map Information Office (MIO) to conduct these operations. Four other Federal 

agencies and 23 nonfederal organizations were added to the Board before it was abolished in 1942 by Executive Order 

9094 and most of its functions transferred to the Bureau of the Budget. In 1945 the Branch reorganized the MIO to 

continue the central-information function. In 1974, the National Cartographic Information Center succeeded the MIO 

and continued to act as an interagency center to facilitate access to the cartographic holdings of Federal, State, and 

county government agencies, and those of private organizations.

Water Resources Division, 1888-1996

In 1906 the USGS changed the name of its Hydrographic Branch to the Water Resources Branch. The Branch 

continued to be supervised by a Chief Hydrographer, who administered three major divisions Hydrographic, 

Hydrologic, and Hydro-Economic. In 1907 the Hydrographic Division became the Surface Water Division, the eastern 

and western sections of the Hydrologic Division were merged as the Ground Water Division, and the 

Hydro-Economic Division was renamed the Quality of Water Division. Under these names the three divisions 

conducted thereafter the major long-term work of the Branch. Between 1913 and 1963 the Water Resources Branch was 

led by a Chief Hydraulic Engineer In 1963 the title was changed to Chief Hydrologist. The Branch was renamed a 

Division in 1949 and its divisions became branches.

Other functions were given organizational-unit status within the Water Resources Branch. After the passage of an 

act of February 19, 1909 (35 Stat. L., 639), to provide for enlarged homesteads, and an act of December 29, 1916 (39 

Stat. L., 862), to provide for stock-raising homesteads, Branch personnel made field classifications of areas of the 

public lands that were or might be applied for under the laws and reported their findings to the USGS Land 

Classification Board. In 1925 the Water Resources Branch's Division of Land Classifcation Investigations, the Land 

Classification Branch (restyled in 1922), and the mineral-leasing and related regulatory functions received from the 

Bureau of Mines were joined to form the Conservation Branch.

The establishment and functions of the Divisions of Power Resources and Water Utilization are described with the 

records of those units.

In 1948 the Water Resources Branch was reorganized. The Water Utilization Division was renamed the Technical 

Control Division and a Program Control Division was established as a second staff unit to handle increased 

administrative demands in the Central Office. The Program Control Division included Interagency, Field Relations, 

and Fiscal Control Sections.

The growth of separate field organizations for each of the operating Branches in the Water Resources Division 

prompted the creation of Water Resources Councils in 1949. The Councils, established in all States or geographic 

regions where they linked two or more district offices, coordinated the Division's field programs and facilitated the 

cooperative programs with States and local agencies. In the mid-1960's the Division's local offices in each State were 

consolidated into single Division-type districts.

The Division underwent extensive reorganizations in the 1950's and 1960's. In 1956 the Offices of Assistant 

Chief Hydrological Engineers for Program and Development and for Operations, Regional Hydrologists for the Pacific 

Coast, Rocky Mountain, Mid-Atlantic, and Atlantic Coast areas, and six administrative and research Sections in the 

Central Office that included Foreign Hydrology (founded in 1952) and Radiohydrology (founded in 1947) were 

established or modified. The Technical Coordination Branch was renamed the General Hydrology Branch. From 1967 

the Chief Hydrologist was aided by three Assistant Chiefs Administration and Technical Services (later Operations), 

Reports and Data Processing (later Scientific Publications and Data Management), and Research and Technical 

Coordination. This reorganization terminated the Branches of General Hydrology and Program Control; their functions 

passed to the Research and Technical Coordination Office, which retained administrative control of the Branches of 

Surface Water, Ground Water, and Quality of Water, and the Offices of Remote Sensing and Radiohydrology. The 

Foreign Hydrology Section was renamed the Office of International Activities; the Section, the Office of Water Data 

Coordination (created in 1965), and the Regional Hydrologists reported to the Chief Hydrologist. Reorganizations of 

the Division in the 1980's and 1990's added to the number and modified the responsibilities and titles of the Assistant 

Chief Hydrologists.

Entry 508 lists the three published volumes and the three completed but unpublished volumes in "A History if the 

Water Resources Division, U. S. Geological Survey" that cover the years to 1966.

Records of the Irrigation Survey and Hydrographic Division, 1888-99

The Irrigation Survey (also known as the Powell Irrigation Survey) was established in the USGS under the 

provisions of an act of October 2, 1888 (25 Stat. L., 526). The act was passed "for the purpose of investigating the 

extent to which the arid region of the United States can be redeemed by irrigation, and the segregation of the irrigable 

lands in such arid region, and for the selection of sites for reservoirs and other hydraulic works necessary for the storage 

and utilization of water for irrigation and the prevention of floods and overflows, and make the necessary maps . . . the 

work to be performed by the Geological Survey under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior." The Irrigation 

Survey was organized with two major units: a Topographic Survey, led by Almon H. Thompson, to prepare maps of 

areas under investigation: and a Hydraulic Survey, led by Clarence E. Button, to gage streams and identify suitable 

sites for irrigation systems, and to design dams, canals and other necessary structures. The Irrigation Survey undertook 

a systematic program of streamflow measurement. On August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. L., 391), Congress repealed that 

portion of the act of 1888 that created the Irrigation Survey. After 1890 some limited stream-gaging work continued, 

and ground-water studies began, respectively, in the USGS Topographic and Geologic Branches.

On August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. L., 398), Congress appropriated funds specifically "For gauging the streams and 

determining the water supply of the United States, including the investigation of underground currents and artesian 

wells in arid and semiarid regions." To conduct the work a Hydrographic Division, led by Frederick H. Newell, 

a veteran of the Irrigation Survey, was formed in the Topographic Branch. The new unit was transferred to the 

Geologic Branch in 1895. Cooperative hydrographic surveys with the States began in 1895; co-funded work dates from 

1900. Following the passage of the Reclamation Act on June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. L., 388), the Hydrographic Division 

was made a Branch equivalent to the other major line units of the USGS, with Newell as it Chief Hydrographer. In 

1903 the Branch contained of a Division of Hydrography for stream-gaging activities, a Division of Hydrology for 

ground-water investigations, Division of Hydro-Economics for analyses of water quality and economic potential, and 

the Reclamation Service. Director Walcott led the Reclamation Service, established in 1902, and Newell served as its 

Chief Engineer. In 1906 Newell left the Hydrographic Branch to spend more time with the newly independent 

Reclamation Service. Walcott hired Marshall O. Leighton as Chief Hydrographer and his Branch was renamed the 

Water Resources Branch. On March 9, 1907, the Reclamation Service, led by Newell, was separated from the USGS 

and established as an Interior Department agency; the Service was renamed the Bureau of Reclamation in 1923.

Surface Water Branch, 1904-63

Stream gaging, the original and basic function of the Surface Water Division (later Branch), began as part of the 

work if the Irrigation Survey in 1888, but was not mentioned specifically in its authorization. The Irrigation Survey 

was abolished in 1890. Frederick H. Newell joined the Topographic Branch as a topographer and continued thereafter 

some limited work in stream gaging. The act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. L., 398), appropriated funds specifically 

for stream gaging. Under the Irrigation Survey the collection of data on streamflow was carried out only in the 

Western States. In the 1890's, in response to serious flooding and concerns about the availability of water for 

municipal purposes, stream-gaging stations were established in several Eastern States and the District of Columbia.

In 1902 the Division of Hydrography was given branch status as the Hydrographic Branch. A Division of 

Hydrography conducted the stream-gaging work for the new Branch, which in 1906 became the Water Resources 

Branch. In 1907 the Division of Hydrography was renamed the Surface Water Division. By 1920 the USGS had 

entered into cooperative agreements with the Bureau of Reclamation, the Office of Indian Affairs, the National Park 

Service, the Weather Bureau, the Forest Service, the Office of the Chief of Engineers, and many States to conduct 

stream-gaging work and share data.

Ground Water Branch, 1890-1954

In 1893-94 geologists Nelson H. Darton and Grove K. Gilbert began separate investigations of ground-water 

resources, partly in connection with their stratigraphic and structural studies of the High Plains and Rocky Mountains. 

The "investigation of underground currents and artesian wells in arid and semi-arid sections" was authorized by the act 

of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. L., 398), that required the USGS to determine the Nation's water supply. 

Ground-water work was administered by the Geologic Branch's Division of Hydrography until 1902, when the 

Division became the Hydrographic Branch. The Eastern and Western Sections of the Branch's Hydrologic Division 

were merged in 1907 to form the Ground Water Division. An act of August 21, 1916 (39 Stat. L., 518), added to the 

Division's responsibilities the location, development, and protection of watering places on the desert and arid portions 

of the public lands. The Division was renamed the Ground Water Branch in 1949.

the Division was renamed the Quality of Water Division. In 1910 analysis of polluted water was transferred to the 

Public Health Service. The Division remained responsible for analyzing the mineral composition of surface and 

ground waters to determine their value for domestic and industrial use. The Division was merged with the Ground 

Water Division in 1910 and 1918. The Quality of Water Division's Washington office closed in 1908; when the

Division of Power Resources, 1913-47

During World War I the Water Resources Branch was made responsible for preparing a weekly report of the power 

production and consumption by the States. In 1918 the Division of Power Resources was established to continue the 

collection of those statistics and the preparation of periodic reports. The Division also provided engineers to conduct 

field investigations on behalf of the of the Fuel Administration. The Fuel Administration was created in 1917 to 

compile statistics on the production, distribution, and consumption of coal, and to devise plans for the conservation of 

power. The Division also gathered statistics for regions of the world relating to developed water power.

In 1936 the Federal Power Commission took over responsibility for compiling and distributing information about 

the production and consumption of power in the States. When the Division of Power Resources was abolished in 

1945, the Water Utilization Division assumed functions relating to the collection of information about developed water 

power by the States and the compilation of an annual report based on the collected data.

Conservation Division, 1894-1980

The first-named responsibility of the USGS in its establishing legislation was "the classification of the public 

lands." Director King decided, and the Public Lands Commission of 1879-80 confirmed, that land classification by the 

USGS was not intended to supercede the pre-sale classifications of the General Land Office. Instead King "concluded 

that the intention of Congress was to begin a rigid scientific classification of the national domain for the general 

information of the people of the country." King planned "a series of land maps" to "show all those features upon 

which intelligent agriculturists, miners, engineers, and timbermen might hereafter base their operations" and also to 

"be of the highest value for all students of the political economy and resources of the United States." 

USGS geologists, topographers, and hydrologists, as part of their programmatic field work, collected information 

about the character of the public lands, including therein the fossil fuels that also formed the basis of much of the 

agency's subsequent work in pre-disposition classification.

USGS contributions to the pre-sale classification of the public lands began in the summer of 1905 when the 

General Land Office (GLO) asked the USGS to examine some contested coal lands in Utah. The USGS had just added 

to its scientific investigations of coals and lignites the study of their efficiency as fuels. Continuing USGS 

classifications of the coal and other natural-resources lands began in 1906, under a cooperative agreement between the 

GLO, in response to the President's request to the Secretary of the Interior to determine which coal deposits were so 

valuable that their lands should be withdrawn from entry. The USGS reported its findings to the GLO for action, a 

working arrangement that remained generally the same for many years.

In 1908 the Land Classification Board was established as a section in the Geologic Branch's Division of Geology. 

The close relationship between the Board and the Geologic Branch is evident by the number of early records found in 

the Conservation Division files marked with Geologic Branch file numbers. The Land Classification Board was 

administered by a Geologist.

In 1912 the Land Classification Board was separated from the Geologic Branch and made organizationally 

equivalent to a branch. The Land Classification Board was now organized in two divisions Division of Mineral 

Classification and Division of Hydrographic Classification each of which were made up of a number of classification 

boards. The boards made decisions regarding the classification of land based on information furnished by the Geologic, 

Topographic and Water Resources Branches. All correspondence with other agencies of the Federal Government 

regarding land classification matters was handled by the Board.

In 1920 some functions relating to applications for rights-of-way and the preparation of agreements to develop 

power on public lands were transferred to the Federal Power Commission. The Land Classification Board continued to 

assemble information regarding potential water power on public lands and to make recommendations regarding the 

segregation of lands valuable for water-power development.

Until 1921 the Land Classification Board had been financed by assessments on funds appropriated for the other 

three operating units of the Survey. Beginning in 1917 the Land Classification Board received line-item appropriations 

for examination and classification. In 1922 the Land Classification Board was renamed the Land Classification Branch.

The Oil Leasing and Mineral Leasing Divisions of the Bureau of Mines were transferred to the USGS in 1925. 

The responsibility for administering the Mineral Act of 1920 and supplemental and amended laws, including the 

collection of royalties, formerly assigned to the Bureau of Mines, were made the responsibility of the Land 

Classification Branch, then renamed the Conservation Branch. The new Branch comprised the Mineral Leasing, 

Mineral Classification, Homestead, and Power Divisions. In 1926 the Branch began receiving line-item appropriations 

for mineral-lease enforcement.

200
Another major change in the responsibilities of the Branch came from the transfer of the field employees from the 

Division of Enlarged and Stock-Raising Homesteads of the Water Resources Branch. The employees formed the first 

field staff of the Branch. The functions transferred from the Water Resources Branch were combined with those of the 

Homestead Division to form the Division of Agricultural Use Classification, later called the Agricultural Division.

In 1933 instructions supplemented Departmental Order 659 for cases concerning petitions for enlarged or stockraising homesteads and GLO requests regarding public lands containing a spring or water hole where the Conservation 

Branch could not act without further field examination. The USGS was instructed to refer these cases to the Division 

of Investigations in the Office of the Secretary of the Interior for the necessary field examinations. The Division of 

Investigations prepared a report based on the examination for the USGS for action in the case of the homesteads and 

submitted a report to the GLO, with a copy to the USGS, in cases concerning water holes.

In 1935 the functions of the Agricultural Division were transferred to the newly established Division of Grazing 

(later the Grazing Service). Those functions included action on applications for agricultural classification, public-water 

reserves, and water holes, requests for reports from the operational units of the USGS, preparation of orders of 

withdrawal, and related actions concerning enlarged homesteads, stock-raising homesteads, and Nevada ground-water 

reclamation. In 1946 the GLO and the Grazing Service were merged to form the Bureau of Land Management.

In 1948 the staff position of Chairman of the Unit Plan Committee was created in the Conservation Branch. 

In 1949 the Conservation Branch was renamed the Conservation Division and the subordinate organizational units that 

had been Divisions were designated Branches.

An Executive Order in 1945 placed the natural resources of the Continental Shelf under the jurisdiction of the 

Secretary of the Interior. The Submerged Lands Act (67 Stat. L., 29), and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (67 

Stat. L., 462) were passed in 1953 to encourage the exploration and development of the oil, gas, and other mineral 

resources of the Outer Continental Shelf. Beginning in 1954 the Conservation Division administered the mineralleasing laws on the Outer Continental Shelf.

In 1982 the Minerals Management Service (MMS) was created by Secretarial Order 3071, under the authority of 

Section 2 of Reorganization Plan 3 of 1950. The USGS Conservation Division's administrative functions relating to 

leasing responsibilities for the Outer Continental Shelf were transferred to the new agency. The following year 

revenue-management responsibilities of the Conservation Division were also transferred to the MMS. Onshore-leasing 

responsibilities on public and Indian lands were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management.

Mineral Classification Division, ca. 1900-1980

The Division of Mineral Classification was established in 1912 within the Land Classification Board when the 

Board was separated from the Geologic Branch and made organizationally equivalent to a branch. The Board was 

renamed the Land Classification Branch in 1922. When the name of the Branch was changed to the Conservation 

Branch in 1925, the Mineral Classification Division remained as an organizational unit. The Division was responsible 

for the classification of the public lands with respect to their mineral resources, in accordance with the provisions of 

the Mineral Leasing Act of February 20, 1920 (41 Stat. L., 437), and later supplemental and amending legislation, and 

preparation of reports advising the General Land Office (later the Bureau of Land Management) on actions to be taken 

regarding the disposition lands under the public-land laws. Field examinations were done chiefly by the Geologic 

Branch. In 1949 the Conservation Branch was restyled a Division. The functions of the Division were transferred to 

the Geologic Division in 1982 when the Conservation Division was abolished.

Alaskan Branch, 1899-1996

The Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources, established in 1903 within the Geologic Division, was the only 

major unit of the USGS organized to work in a specific geographic area. In 1922 the Division was separated from the 

Geologic Branch and given branch status. The title of the new Branch's chief was changed from Geologist-in-charge to 

Chief Alaskan Geologist. The Branch of Alaskan Mineral Resources was renamed the Alaskan Branch in 1925 by 

Survey Order 118. As the unit's field parties conducted geologic and topographic studies, and then water-resource 

investigations, in effect it was a small version of the USGS. The Alaskan Branch was abolished in 1946 and its 

functions in geology, topography, water resources, and public-land classification were distributed to the appropriate 

operational units of the USGS. In addition to the Branch records described below, records concerning USGS work in 

Alaska are described in the records of the Staff Geologist for Territories and Island Possessions, entry 60; the records of 

the Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources, entries 216 and 217; records concerning the Aleutian Volcano Project,

INTRODUCTION

The United States Geological Survey was established 

on March 3, 1879, just a few hours before the mandatory 

close of the final session of the 45th Congress, when 

President Rutherford B. Hayes signed the bill appropriating 

money for sundry civil expenses of the Federal Government 

for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1879. The sundry civil 

expenses bill included a brief section establishing a new 

agency, the United States Geological Survey, placing it in 

the Department of the Interior, and charging it with a unique 

combination of responsibilities: "classification of the public 

lands, and examination of the geological structure, mineral 

resources, and products of the national domain." 1 The 

legislation stemmed from a report of the National Academy 

of Sciences, which in June 1878 had been asked by 

Congress to provide a plan for surveying the Territories of 

the United States that would secure the best possible results 

at the least possible cost. Its roots, however, went far back 

into the Nation's history.

The first duty enjoined upon the Geological Survey 

by the Congress, the classification of the public lands, 

originated in the Land Ordinance of 1785. The original 

public lands were the lands west of the Allegheny Mountains claimed by some of the colonies, which became a 

source of contention in writing the Articles of Confederation until 1781 when the States agreed to cede their western 

lands to Congress. The extent of the public lands was 

enormously increased by the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 

and later territorial acquisitions.

At the beginning of Confederation, the decision was 

made not to hold the public lands as a capital asset, but to 

dispose of them for revenue and to encourage settlement. 

The Land Ordinance of 1785 provided the method of 

surveying and a plan for disposal of the lands, but also 

reserved "one-third part of all gold, silver, lead, and copper 

mines to be sold or otherwise disposed of, as Congress shall 

thereafter direct," thus implicitly requiring classification of 

the lands into mineral and nonmineral. Mapping of the 

public lands was begun under the direction of the SurveyorGeneral, but no special provision was made for classificaManuscript approved for publication April 27, 1989.

tion of the public lands, and it thus became the responsibility of the surveyor. There was,of course, no thought in 

1785 or for many years thereafter of employing geologists 

to make the classification of the mineral lands, for geology 

was then only in its infancy.

By 1879, eight classes of public lands had been 

recognized, each of which had separate regulations for 

disposition, but, except in a few cases, no special provision 

had been made to secure an accurate classification in 

advance of disposition. Of the mineral lands listed in the 

1785 Ordinance, lead lands had been leased for a time and 

later sold, and copper lands had been sold, but no regulations 

were made about the lands bearing precious metals until 

1866 when they were declared free and open to exploration 

and purchase. Iron lands, not mentioned in the 1785 

Ordinance, were ruled "not mineral lands," 3 and coal lands, 

also not mentioned, were offered for sale in 1863. The 

surveyors were still responsible for classification of the 

public lands, but, in actual practice, did not make the 

classification themselves but relied on affidavits from the 

interested parties.

Neither the public lands nor scientific investigations 

of any kind were mentioned in the Constitution of the 

United States, which superseded the Articles of Confederation in 1788. Scientific investigations and the construction 

of public works were both considered the prerogative or 

responsibility of the States or private institutions rather than 

the Federal Government. Of necessity, the Federal viewpoint changed in later years, but even so, the two were 

frequently treated alike.

Although the military engaged in some scientific 

activities, Congress did not authorize civilian scientific 

activities in the Federal Government until 1807 when it 

established the Coast Survey for the practical purpose of 

providing better charts of coastal waters and navigational 

aids for commercial interests. The Coast Survey, however, 

was unable to get underway until after the end of the War of 

1812 and then had only a brief independent life before being 

transferred to the jurisdiction of the Navy.

In 1810, only 3 years after the Coast Survey was 

established and long before it got underway, Benjamin 

Silliman, Professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Natural 

History at Yale, proposed to the Connecticut Academy of

Sciences that a geological survey be undertaken of part of 

the national domain, the State of Connecticut. The academy 

approved the idea but had no funds to carry it out, and 

another decade passed before a publicly supported geological survey was made.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS BEFORE THE CIVIL 

WAR

The earliest geological surveys were made in support 

of agriculture, which was the basic occupation in the United 

States in the early 1800's. Manufacturing was then of 

importance only in a few areas, and mining was a quite 

insignificant part of the economy. Farmland in the Eastern 

and Southern States, however, was beginning to lose its 

fertility, and farmers were abandoning their holdings and 

moving westward. The westward migration increased to

enormous proportions after the War of 1812. In the summer 

of 1820, Stephen Van Rensselaer, president of the Agricultural Society of New York, using funds appropriated by the 

State Legislature, employed Amos Eaton, who had studied 

under Silliman at Yale, to make a geological survey of 

Albany County to aid in the improvement of agriculture. In 

the following year, Eaton made a geological and agricultural survey of the neighboring Rensselaer County. After 

two surveys in aid of agriculture, Eaton proposed and 

obtained approval to make a survey of the district adjoining 

the Erie Canal, one of a vast number of internal improvements that had been begun to link eastern markets and the 

newly settled regions beyond the Allegheny Mountains. A 

year earlier, Denison Olmsted, Professor of Chemistry, 

Mineralogy, and Geology at the University of North Carolina, also a former student of Professor Silliman, had 

approached the North Carolina State Board of Internal 

Improvements with the idea of making a geological and

mineralogical survey of the State, but the General Assembly 

in North Carolina, to which the Board had referred Olmsted's request, had instead authorized the Board of Agriculture to make such a survey in 1823.

In 1824, as the number and scope of internal 

improvements increased, Federal policy was changed as a 

matter of practical necessity. Congress authorized the Army 

Engineers to make engineering surveys to prepare estimates 

for roads and canals for national military, commercial, or 

postal purposes. Science in general, and geology in particular, however, remained almost exclusively the province of 

the States or private individuals for another decade.

Olmsted's first report, published in 1824, provided 

the inspiration for establishment of geological surveys on 

another basis. Olmsted devoted several pages of his report 

to the gold mines of North Carolina and in 1825 published 

a paper on the gold deposits in Silliman's American Journal 

of Science and Arts. Gold-bearing rock in place was 

discovered in North Carolina that very year and later in 

Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia as well. The more 

practical-minded geologists seized upon the gold discoveries in the Southeastern States as a better means of promoting 

the establishment of geological surveys than either the 

improvement of agriculture or the need for internal 

improvements. During the early 1830's, several of the 

Eastern and Central States established State surveys "to

examine the geological structure, mineral resources, and 

products"4 of their part of the national domain.

In 1834, just a year before the Geological Survey of 

Great Britain was established, Congress authorized the first 

Federal examination of the geological structure, mineral 

resources, and products of the public lands by permitting 

the Topographical Bureau of the U.S. Army to use $5,000 

of its appropriation for geological investigations and the 

construction of a geological map of the United States. The 

head of the Bureau, Colonel J.J. Abert, had based his 

request for funds on the importance of mineral resources, 

stating that "few subjects connected with the duties of this 

bureau open so many and so important national advantages, 

or are adapted to redound more to internal commercial 

prosperity" as the "development of these great resources of 

wealth and commercial intercourse, which now lie inert and 

buried in the bowels of the earth" 5 The geologist 

employed, however, proved a little too impractical for the 

Engineers and the survey was discontinued after 2 years.

In 1839, the Federal Government for the first time 

called on a geologist to classify public lands as Congress 

made plans to authorize the sale of the mineral lands in the 

Upper Mississippi Valley. David Dale Owen organized a 

force that made a survey of 11,000 square miles in a little 

more than 2 months, which led the Commissioner of the 

General Land Office to propose that "an officer skilled in 

the sciences of geology and mineralogy"6 be appointed to

explore all the public lands and thus enable the Commissioner to discriminate between agricultural and mineral 

lands before putting them on the market. That idea came to 

nought, but in 1847, when Congress authorized the sale of 

mineral lands in the Lake Superior Land District in Michigan and the Chippewa Land District in the Territory of 

Wisconsin, it specified that geological examinations be 

made prior to the sale.

The change in the Federal attitude toward geology 

was part of a change in the Federal view of science in 

general. The Federal Government was not yet ready to 

accept science for its own sake but there was a growing 

realization that certain economic purposes could be aided by 

science, or, from the perspective of the first Commissioner 

of Patents in 1836, that the scientific activities of the 

Government should serve the great economic interests of 

the country. This same attitude was evident when Congress 

in 1836 authorized the United States Exploring Expedition, 

which had the backing of some of the country's most 

influential scientists, as an aid to commerce. Perhaps of 

even greater importance for the future of Federal geology 

was the establishment in 1838 of the Corps of Topographical Engineers to explore and map the continent. Americans 

were already beginning to feel it was their manifest destiny 

to overspread and possess the whole continent, and the 

Topographical Engineers for more than 2 decades provided 

geologists with opportunities to study the West.

America's manifest destiny was also to become a 

great industrial nation but that was not so apparent in the 

1840's. Coal and iron were the basic elements of industrial 

development, but toward the end of that decade iron 

production had begun to decline and the mineral industry, 

except for coal, began to experience difficulties. The 

discovery of gold in California on January 24, 1848, altered 

the situation. In December 1848, President James Polk 

asked Congress to provide for a geological and mineralogical examination of the region where gold had been discovered and to take steps to preserve the mineral lands, 

especially those containing the precious metals, for the 

United States, or to dispose of them in such a manner as to 

secure a large return of money to the Treasury. The 

lameduck Congress took no action on these recommendations but in the closing days of the session established a new 

executive department, the Interior Department, which 

would include the General Land Office, the Pension Office, 

the Office of Indian Affairs, and the Census.

The discovery of gold gave great impetus to mining 

endeavors throughout the country, and this increased activity, combined with the prosperity after the Mexican War, 

interested several States in the South and the Midwest in 

establishing State geological surveys. It also made the 

development of better means of communication and transportation between the Eastern States and the western territories more urgent. In 1853, Congress appropriated 

$150,000 for surveys to ascertain the most practical and

economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River 

to the Pacific Ocean and authorized the Secretary of War to 

employ the Corps of Topographical Engineers to make the 

explorations and surveys. The Congress also took action on 

the mineral lands in California, excluding them from the 

General Land Office surveys, forbidding their preemption 

or selection by the State, and prohibiting settlement or 

location on them.

During the 1850's. while the Topographical Engineers explored four routes for the transcontinental railroad, 

the industrialization of the Nation quickened. In 1859, for 

the first time, the value of the products of U.S. industry 

exceeded the value of agricultural products. In that same 

year, gold was discovered in Colorado, silver was discovered at the Comstock lode in western Nevada to begin the 

era of silver mining in the West, and the first oil well in the 

United States was successfully drilled in northwestern 

Pennsylvania. By that time, the relationship between geological surveys and mineral resources was sufficiently clear 

that when gold mining in California became difficult and 

costly, the State Legislature established a Geological Survey, on April 21, 1860, to make an accurate and complete 

geological survey of the State.

The Civil War had a pronounced effect on science 

and on the industrial development, of the United States. It 

brought to an end the second era of State surveys-only the 

California Geological Survey survived. It checked or halted 

the western mining frontier in some areas but allowed 

continued expansion in others. The usefulness of science for 

economic purposes was recognized on May 15, 1862, when 

the 37th Congress established the Department of Agriculture "to acquire and diffuse * * * useful information on 

subjects connected with agriculture" and for the first time 

authorized "practical and scientific experiments"7 to obtain 

this information. The industrialization advanced significantly during the war. At the start of the war, American iron 

fabrication was inferior to that of Europe, but A.S. Hewitt 

of Cooper Hewitt iron manufacturers went to England in 

1862 and learned the secret of the British process so well 

that in 1863 the Secretary of War boasted that American 

iron was superior to that obtained abroad. Alexander 

Holley, an American metallurgist, also visited England in 

1862 and obtained the American rights to the Bessemer 

process for making steel; in 1865, he began to produce steel 

by that process in the United States.

THE FOUR GREAT SURVEYS OF THE WEST

By 1867, the developing industries were making 

radical demands on the Nation's natural resources. Joseph 

S. Wilson, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, 

in his annual report written in the fall of 1866, assessed at 

some length the mineral resources of the public domain, and 

afterward stated that the proper development of the geological characteristics and mineral wealth of the country was a 

matter of the highest concern to the American people. On 

March 2, 1867, Congress for the first time authorized 

western explorations in which geology would be the principal objective: a study of the geology and natural resources 

along the fortieth parallel route of the transcontinental

railroad, under the Corps of Engineers, and a geological 

survey of the natural resources of the new State of 

Nebraska, under the direction of the General Land Office. 

Looking back at that day's work in 1880, Clarence King. 

Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, remarked that 

"Eighteen sixty-seven marks, in the history of national 

geological work, a turning point, when the science ceased 

to be dragged in the dust of rapid exploration and took a 

commanding position in the professional work of the 

country." 8

King was only 25 and 5 years out of Yale, where he 

had been a member of the first class to graduate from the 

Sheffield Scientific School, when he was appointed Geologist in charge of the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth 

Parallel. He had been a member of the Geological Survey of 

California when he conceived the idea of a geological 

survey along the route of the railroad then being built, had 

then interested the Engineers in the plan and secured their 

endorsement and that of the War Department, exhibiting 

political as well as scientific acumen. The Chief of Engineers told King he could expect to receive $100,000 to 

finance the work for 3 years and was authorized to engage 

two assistant geologists, three topographic aides, two collectors, a photographer, and necessary camp men. King 

chose as assistants well-trained young men, the geologists 

with graduate education in Europe, and planned the work in 

detail before taking the field.

Ferdinand V. Hay den, M.D., who had already established a reputation as a master of reconnaissance in the 

Upper Missouri country, was placed in charge of the survey 

of Nebraska, for which only $5,000 was available. Hay den, 

38, was a graduate of Oberlin College in Ohio and Albany 

Medical College. Except during the Civil War years, 

Hayden had been enthusiastically exploring the northern 

Great Plains region since 1853 when James Hall, the New 

York State Geologist, had sent him and Fielding B. Meek 

west to study the geology and collect fossils. In 1856 and 

1857, Hayden had accompanied expeditions led by Lieutenant G.K. Warren and in 1859, the expedition led by 

Captain W.F. Raynolds, both of the Topographical Engineers.

Both the King and the Hayden surveys were successful. In 1870, the King survey, without solicitation, received 

additional funds for another 3 years in the field. The 

Hayden survey received additional appropriations in 1868 

and 1869 for exploration in Wyoming and Colorado, and in

The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
FigureG. The Hayden survey in the Yellowstone area, 1871.

1869 was placed directly under the Secretary of the Interior. 

In 1870, Hayden presented to Congress a plan for the 

geological and geographical exploration of the Territories of 

the United States that looked forward to the gradual 

preparation of a series of geographical and geological maps 

of each of the territories on a uniform scale. With Congressional blessing the Hayden survey then became the Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories under the 

Department of the Interior.

By that time two additional surveys had taken the 

field. On May 24, 1869, John Wesley Powell, Professor of 

Geology at Illinois State Normal University, and a party of 

nine men left Green River, Wyoming, in three small boats 

to explore the unknown canyonlands to the south and west. 

Powell's expedition was privately sponsored its only public support an authorization to draw Army rations and the 

members of the expedition were a mixed crew of nonprofessionals.

Powell, 35, was the son of an itinerant Methodist 

preacher. His formal schooling had ceased when he was 12, 

and his life thereafter had been spent in farming, studying, 

teaching, and exploring the Midwest until the outbreak of 

the Civil War. He enlisted in the Union Army in May 1861 

and remained in the service until the war was over. After the 

war, Powell became professor of geology at Illinois Wesleyan University and then at Illinois State Normal University. In 1867 and 1868, he explored the Rocky Mountains in 

Colorado and eastern Utah and became convinced that the 

unknown canyonlands to the southwest could best be 

explored in boats. In a trip fraught with hardships, Powell

and five of the nine original members of the crew completed 

a journey down the Green River to the Colorado and 

through the Grand Canyon on August 13, 1869. In 1870, 

Professor Powell received an appropriation of $10,000 from 

Congress to make a second trip down the Colorado, being 

required only to report his results to the Smithsonian 

Institution. On June 10, 1872, Congress appropriated 

another $20,000 for completion of the survey.

The second new exploration in 1869 was led by 

Lieutenant George Wheeler, Engineer Officer on the staff 

of the Commanding General of the Army's Department of 

California (which covered California, Nevada, and Arizona). Wheeler, not quite 27, was a graduate of West Point 

in 1866 where he had ranked sixth in his class and won a 

commission in the elite Corps of Engineers. By 1869, 

exploration of the Colorado River and location of northsouth routes across the Great Basin had become the most 

important projects of the Division of the Pacific, but when 

the Army learned of Powell's planned expedition, exploration of the Colorado was postponed.

In early June 1869, Lieutenant Wheeler received 

orders to organize and equip a party to make a thorough and 

careful reconnaissance of the country south and east of 

White Pine, Nevada, as far as the head of navigation on the 

Colorado, to obtain data for a military map and to survey 

the possibility of a wagon road and select sites for military 

posts. In 1871, the Engineers sent Lt. Wheeler to explore 

and map the area south of the Central Pacific Railroad in 

eastern Nevada and Arizona.

On his return from the 1871 expedition, Wheeler, 

convinced that the day of the pathfinder had ended, proposed a plan for mapping the United States west of the 

100th meridian on a scale of 8 miles to the inch, expected 

to cost $2.5 million and take 15 years. Congress authorized 

the program on June 10, 1872, the day on which funds were 

appropriated for completion of the Powell survey. Hay den 

that year was given $75,000 for his Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories.

Inevitably, conflicts developed between the Hayden 

survey, mapping the Territories of the United States, and 

the Wheeler survey, mapping the areas west of the 100th 

meridian. In 1874, Congress was provoked to a thorough 

discussion of civilian versus military control of mapping. In 

the testimony heard by the Congressional committee, much 

of it on the purposes and efficiency of the mapping, Powell 

credited King's Fortieth Parallel survey with the most 

advanced techniques, which Hayden and he had later 

adopted. In the end Congress concluded that each survey 

had been doing excellent work for the benefit of the people 

and that there was sufficient work for both the Interior 

Department and the War Department for years to come. The 

Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution had requested an 

additional appropriation for the Powell survey, which Congress granted but transferred the survey to the Department 

of the Interior, where it was at first called the second 

division of the Geological and Geographical Survey of the 

Territories. Later, because of tension between Powell and 

Hayden, the Powell survey became known as the Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL 

SURVEY

Deterioration of the economy led to another consideration of the problem of mapping the West in 1878. The 

King survey had by this time completed its reports, but the 

Hayden, Powell, and Wheeler surveys were still in the 

field. This time Congress turned to the National Academy 

of Sciences and asked it to recommend a plan for surveying 

and mapping the Territories of the United States that would 

secure the best possible results at the least possible cost. A 

committee of seven members appointed by the Academy 

recommended that the Coast and Geodetic Survey be 

transferred from the Department of the Treasury to the 

Department of the Interior, renamed the "Coast and Interior 

Survey," and be given responsibility for geodetic, topographic, and land-parceling surveys in addition to its 

existing work. The Academy committee also recommended 

that an independent organization, to be called the U.S. 

Geological Survey, be established in the Interior Department to study the geological structure and economic 

resources of the public domain.

Legislation to rename the Coast and Geodetic Survey 

and transfer it to the Department of the Interior and to 

establish the U.S. Geological Survey for "classification of 

the public lands, and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national 

domain"9 was included in the bill appropriating funds for 

the legislative, executive, and judicial expenses of the 

Federal Government for the fiscal year beginning July 1,

1879. An appropriation for the expenses of the new national 

geological survey was included in the sundry civil expenses 

bill.

The transfer of the land-parceling surveys to a Coast 

and Interior Survey aroused strong opposition among Congressmen from Western States, and the bill was amended to 

exclude the public-land surveys from the work of the Coast 

and Interior Survey. There were few objections to the 

Geological Survey, and Congressman A.S. Hewitt of New 

York, who had initiated the Academy study, spoke most 

eloquently about the value of the study of mineral resources 

to the future development and prosperity of the Nation. The 

bill was then passed and sent to the Senate.

The Senate took up the sundry civil expenses bill 

first, and amended the item for the expenses of the 

geological survey so that it became $100,000 for the 

Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, in 

other words, the Hay den survey. The bill then went to a 

conference committee to iron out the differences between 

the two houses. The Senate voted to delete the entire section 

on the reorganization of the surveys from the legislative, 

executive, and judicial expenses bill, making the Senate 

action a clear triumph for Hayden, and sent it to conference.

The Democratic House and Republican Senate were 

far apart on some items in the bill, unrelated to the Survey 

legislation, and it became evident that agreement could not 

be reached before adjournment. The Senate and House 

conferees on the sundry civil bill, among them Hewitt, then 

agreed to combine into one item the sections in the House 

version of the legislative bill establishing the geological 

survey and the House version of the appropriation for the 

expenses of the U.S. Geological Survey. Thus the U.S. 

Geological Survey was established, by a last-minute 

amendment, to classify the public lands 94 years after the 

Land Ordinance of 1785 first directed their surveying and 

classification and to examine the geological structure, 

mineral resources, and products of the national domain. The 

legislation also provided that the Hayden, Powell, and 

Wheeler surveys be discontinued as of June 30, 1879. 

Congress also established a public lands commission, of 

which the Director of the U. S. Geological Survey would be 

a member, to prepare a codification of laws relating to the 

survey and disposition of the public domain, a system and 

standard of classification of public lands, a system of 

land-parceling surveys adapted to the economic use of the 

several classes of lands, and recommendations for disposal 

of the public lands in the western portion of the United 

States to actual settlers.

ORGANIZING THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

but a small group that considered Clarence King better 

qualified undertook to secure the appointment for him. On 

March 20, 1879, President Hayes sent to the Senate the 

nomination of Clarence King to be the first Director of the 

U.S. Geological Survey. The Senate confirmed the nomination on April 3, and King took the oath of office on May 

24. The Fortieth Parallel Exploration under King's direction 

had led the way in converting western exploration to an 

exact science. His new position gave him a unique opportunity to influence the development of Federal geology.

The first duty enjoined on the Geological Survey was 

the "classification of the public lands." 10 In the year that the 

Geological Survey was established, the Federal Government still held title to more than 1.2 billion acres of land, 

nearly all of it west of the Mississippi River, of which only 

200 million had been surveyed. The edge of settlement was 

at about 102° West; beyond the frontier were only isolated 

pockets or belts of settlement, and in vast areas beyond the 

frontier, the population was officially less than 1 per square 

mile.

Nearly all the public lands were within the arid region 

as defined by John Wesley Powell in his 1878 "Report on 

the Lands of the Arid Region of the United States." Water 

was the region's most precious resource, but Powell had 

pointed out that very little of the remaining public land was 

suitable for conventional farming and that only a small

Hayden, who had been directing geological surveys 

in the Department of the Interior for a dozen years, was the 

obvious candidate to be director of the new national survey,

Figure 9. Clarence King, Director of the U.S. Geological 

Survey, 1879-1881.

10 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
fraction of the arid land was irrigable. He then proposed 

radical changes in the land system, including organization 

of irrigation and pasturage districts, which suggested that 

water was more of a sociopolitical than a scientific problem.

Many of the isolated small pockets or belts west of 

the frontier owed their initial and some their continued 

existence to miners or prospectors, but the larger and more 

profitable mining industry was in the States east of the 

100th meridian Pennsylvania was the leading mining 

State in the Nation. Just eight commodities gold, silver, 

iron, coal, copper, lead, zinc, and petroleum-accounted 

for nearly 99 percent of the value of the mineral production 

in the United States; the greater part of the precious metals 

and lead came from the area west of the 100th meridian, but 

the rest came from the States east of that line.

The very brief enabling legislation did not define in 

detail the duties of the new organization, thus leaving much 

to the Director's judgment. King concluded that the Geological Survey's classification of the public lands, especially as Congress had made no change in the General Land 

Office, was not meant to supersede the classification made 

by the Land Office as a basis for granting title, and the 

Public Lands Commission agreed. To meet the requirement 

for classification, King therefore planned a series of land 

maps to provide information for agriculturists, miners, 

engineers, timbermen, and political economists.

The duty of examining the geologic structure, mineral 

resources, and products of the national domain offered 

many possibilities. The year in which the Survey was 

established, however, was one of great monetary uncertainty, when knowledge of precious-metal resources was 

vital, and one in which the iron and steel industry faced 

problems in obtaining suitable raw materials, while information about the Nation's mineral wealth, mining and 

metallurgical techniques, and production statistics was meager. For the Survey's initial program of work, therefore, 

King chose to emphasize mining geology, to devote but a 

small effort to general geology, and to confine paleontology 

and topographic mapping to what was necessary to support 

the geologic studies. Although King in so doing emphasized 

practical studies at the expense of basic studies, he nonetheless expected that the facts gathered in the mininggeology studies would lead to advances in basic science.

The term "national domain" in the organic act provided a problem. The framers of the law had used the term 

to mean all lands within the national boundaries without 

having to name all the States and Territories, but an Interior 

Department attorney ruled that it meant the lands to which 

the Government had not parted title, that is, the public 

lands. The literal interpretation of that ruling would preclude work in a mining district where most of the land had 

become private property. King asked Congress to clarify the 

meaning, and the House promptly extended the field of the 

Geological Survey to the entire Nation but Congress 

adjourned before the Senate acted. For the first year,

therefore, King decided to confine operations to the publicland regions though not to the public lands.

THE FIRST QUARTER-CENTURY

King, in consultation with Secretary of the Interior 

Carl Schurz, established the qualifications for appointment 

to the new Survey and the salaries. Applicants for appointment to the Division of Mining Geology were expected to 

have a good working knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, mining geology, chemistry, metallurgy, and the mineralogy of economic products, evidence of which could be 

furnished by university degrees, the testimony of experts in 

the required branches, or a written examination. For 

appointment to the Division of General Geology, applicants 

were expected to furnish equivalent evidence of a working 

knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, 

and mineralogy. In July 1879, S.F. Emmons and Arnold 

Hague of the King survey, G.K. Gilbert of the Wheeler and 

later the Powell survey, F.V. Hayden, and Raphael 

Pumpelly, who had been Sturgis-Hooper Professor of Geology at Harvard and State Geologist of Michigan and 

Missouri, were appointed geologists at $4,000 a year. 

George F. Becker, instructor in mining and metallurgy at 

the University of California, was appointed a geologist at 

$2,500 a year. Appointed as topographers were A.D. 

Wilson and F.A. Clark of the King survey, and Sumner 

Bodfish and John H. Renshawe of the Powell survey. 

Pumpelly headed the Mining Geology Division, and John 

Wesley Powell served informally as head of the General 

Geology Division but drew his salary from the Bureau of 

Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution.

The mining geology program began in 1879 with 

comprehensive studies of the geology and technology of 

three great mining districts Leadville in Colorado and the 

Comstock and Eureka in Nevada and the collection of 

mineral statistics in the Western States. In addition, through 

a cooperative arrangement with the Tenth Census, mineral 

statistics were collected in the Eastern States, iron resources 

in all parts of the country were systematically studied in the 

field and in the laboratory by a variety of techniques, 

including microscopic analysis, chemical analysis, and 

magnetic observations, and an effort was made to trace the 

continuation of the copper-bearing rocks of Michigan and 

Wisconsin through northeast Minnesota to the Canadian 

boundary. The investigations in general geology included 

the unfinished studies of the earlier surveys in the Colorado 

Plateau region, on the Quaternary history of valleys in 

Utah, and on the geology of the Rocky Mountain region 

north of New Mexico and west of the 94th meridian.

In his first annual report, King promised 12 volumes 

on "practical and general geology and paleontology." 11 

Some were published as part of the Tenth Census reports,

including the mineral statistics that provided the first 

comprehensive study of the Nation's mineral resources, 

others as monographs of the U. S. Geological Survey.

King resigned as Director in March 1881. He had not 

planned to stay beyond the time necessary to organize the 

work, and when James Garfield became President King 

realized that he would no longer have the support of his 

good friend, Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz, whose 

views on political reform, including a merit-based civil 

service system, he shared. Despite his short tenure, King 

had such a profound influence on the organization and mode 

of operation of the Survey that decades later his imprint was 

still clearly evident and can be recognized even to this day.

King's choice to succeed him was John Wesley 

Powell, who was almost King's antithesis in background, 

education, and experience. Both men had wide-ranging 

scientific interests but King's centered on mathematics and 

geophysics, and Powell's tended toward natural history and 

anthropology. In geology, which Powell considered part of 

geography, he was primarily concerned with landforms and 

land use.

King and Powell also differed greatly in their philosophies of administration, which King apparently did not 

realize when he resigned. King had given the work of the 

Geological Survey a mission orientation, planned the goals,

and selected the staff, but given them freedom to choose 

their methods of work in order to achieve the goals. Powell 

allowed the staff to choose not only their methods of work 

but the subjects they would investigate as well. That alone 

meant an immediate change in the Geological Survey's 

program. In addition, because Powell looked on geology 

and topography as independent although closely related 

parts of the greater field of geography, he made the 

topographic work of the Geological Survey independent of 

geologic studies as soon as he became Director. Powell also 

retained direction of the Bureau of Ethnology and simply 

merged the work of the two organizations.

In 1882, Powell obtained authorization from Congress "to continue the preparation of a geologic map of the 

United States," 12 which implicitly extended the work of the 

Survey to the Eastern States without explicitly clarifying the 

public lands-national domain question. Powell then redirected all topographic work toward preparation of the 

geologic map and began topographic mapping to provide a 

base for the geologic map in Eastern as well as Western 

States. Topographic mapping became the largest part of the 

Geological Survey program. Paleontologic and stratigraphic 

studies to support the geologic mapping program were also 

begun throughout the country. Mining geology, however, 

was restricted to the Western States-Powell insisted that

12 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989

no authorization had been obtained for mining geology in 

the Eastern States-and had insufficient funds for field 

work.

During Powell's first 3 years as Director, the Survey 

prospered, and its appropriations grew steadily, amounting 

to $386,000 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1884. By 

that time, King's simple organization of the Survey into 

Mining Geology and General Geology had been transformed. General geology, initially described by Powell as 

structural geology and paleontology, became five divisions 

of geology and five of paleontology. The chemical laboratory, mining statistics, preparation of illustrations, and the 

library were "accessory" 13 divisions. Without benefit of 

formal organization, the Geological Survey was also investigating the irrigation of the arid lands, the relief from 

floods that would be afforded the lower valley of the 

Mississippi by utilizing waters from the Rocky Mountains 

for irrigation, and the geographic distribution of the great 

forest areas.

The appropriations act for the fiscal year beginning 

July 1, 1884, however, also included provisions for two 

Congressional investigations: one by the Joint Committee 

on Public Printing aimed at reducing the cost of public 

printing, especially the cost of scientific publications, 

which had become a matter of some concern; the other an

investigation of the organizations of the Signal Service, 

Geological Survey, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the 

Hydrographic Office of the Navy, to secure greater efficiency and economy of administration of the public service 

among them. The latter investigation was ostensibly a 

general one but was actually a combination of two investigations, one of the Signal Service and the other an attempt 

to save the Coast and Geodetic Survey from the encroachment on its functions by the Geological Survey, with its 

newly extended topographic mapping program, and the 

Hydrographic Office. Common to both was the old argument of civilian versus military control of science.

The National Academy of Sciences, again called on 

for advice, recommended that all the scientific work of the 

Government be concentrated in four bureaus, organized on 

the basis of scientific discipline, and that the four should 

preferably form a separate Department of Science or at least 

be in one executive department. Others expressed the 

opinion that scientific work should be conducted in and 

directed by the department that needed scientific assistance, 

and still others held that the scientific work of the Federal 

Government should be severely limited in scope.

The lameduck Congress that met in December 1884 

had to face serious economic problems and a mandatory 

close on March 4, 1885. The Joint Committee on Public

Printing decided to leave to the new Congress the task of 

drafting a bill to reduce the cost of public printing. The 

Commission on the Organization of the Scientific Work of 

the Government held hearings, then obtained authorization 

to continue the hearings when the new Congress convened, 

and in 1886, presented a divided report. The majority 

recommended no changes in the organization of the existing 

bureaus and, with respect to the Survey, noted that on the 

basis of the current annual appropriation it would require 30 

years to complete the geological survey of the whole 

country but thought the rapidity with which the work was 

done could be left to Congress to determine through the 

amount of the appropriation. The minority called for restriction of paleontology to the collection, classification, and 

proper care of fossils, and for prohibition of general 

discussions of geologic theories and of the publication of 

anything except an annual report of operations. In the next 

session of Congress, the Geological Survey was directed 

henceforth to present itemized estimates in requesting funds 

so Congress could control expenditures, and the amount the 

Public Printer was authorized to spend on Geological 

Survey publications was drastically reduced.

More trouble for the Geological Survey was already 

developing on another front. A few months after becoming 

Director, Powell had submitted a report to the second

session of the International Congress of Geologists in which 

he attempted to establish rules "adopted" 14 in the Geological Survey as the American norm for stratigraphic nomenclature and cartographic representation. Only one American 

geologist attended the Congress, which voted to adopt other 

terms largely of European derivation. Following the 1885 

Congress, however, the American Committee met and 

voted to adopt the decisions of the International Congress 

and to recommend their acceptance by American geologists. American opinion on stratigraphic nomenclature was 

divided, as became clear in meetings held in 1887, but the 

American Committee sent its reports to the 1888 International Congress without prior distribution in the United 

States, arousing considerable protest. In August 1888, 

American geologists voted to form an American geological 

society and the first meeting of the Geological Society of 

America was held on December 27, 1888. Three weeks 

before the Geological Society held its initial meeting, 

Powell convened a conference of Federal geologists on 

"geologic taxonomy and nomenclature" with the claim that 

"the range of conception concerning geologic principles and 

methods among the Federal geologists has become an 

epitome of the geologic opinion of the earth." 15

Powell was temporarily diverted from the geologic 

map and stratigraphic nomenclature by a change in climate 

in 1886. During the 1870's and early 1880's, great numbers 

of people had settled on the Great Plains, and would-be 

farmers came into competition with cattlemen for water and 

land. The drought of 1886 and the severe winter that 

followed compounded the difficulties. In October 1888, 

Congress authorized a survey to investigate the extent to 

which the arid region of the United States could be 

redeemed by irrigation, to segregate the irrigable lands, and 

to select sites for reservoirs and other hydraulic works for 

the dual purpose of storage and utilization of water for 

irrigation and prevention of floods and overflows. To 

prevent speculation, Congress then stipulated that all lands 

that might be irrigated by the reservoirs and canals to be 

located by the surveys be withdrawn from entry.

In his arid lands report of 1878, Powell had defined 

the arid region as the region where rainfall was less than 20 

inches a year, and so most of the area west of the 100th 

meridian was in his arid region. Between the arid region of 

the West and the humid region of the East was a region, 

which Powell called the subhumid region, where rainfall 

was 20 to 28 inches a year. Most of the farmers who had 

been hurt by the change in the weather were in the 

subhumid region or the eastern edge of the arid region.

Given the opportunity he had so long awaited to 

attack the problem of the arid lands, Powell planned first 

topographic surveys to plot catchment basins, then a hydrographic survey to measure streamflow, and finally an 

engineering survey to determine the feasibility of construction. The topographic mapping was begun in October 1888, 

immediately after passage of the Appropriation Act, as an

expansion of the regular topographic mapping program in 

Colorado and areas to the west. The stream-gaging and 

engineering surveys had to wait upon the training of 

hydrographers and the recruitment of engineering personnel 

and did not get underway until 1889. Men experienced in 

stream-gaging methods and instruments were scarce, so 14 

young men were chosen and placed in an instruction camp 

at Embudo, New Mexico, under the direction of F.H. 

Newell, a 26-year-old engineer who had graduated from the 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1885.

The Irrigation Survey was discontinued in 1890. 

Congress was impatient for results, but Powell insisted that 

all the facts had to be determined before any recommendations could be made. In May 1890, the Acting Attorney 

General ruled that all irrigable lands had been withdrawn 

from entry on October 2, 1888, and as no one knew which 

lands were irrigable until the Survey certified them, all 

claims filed after that date had to be invalidated. The public 

domain was in fact closed to entry, a situation which 

advocates of western development did not want at any cost. 

To complicate the situation, six new States had been 

admitted in 1889 and 1890, some wholly, some partly in the 

arid region, and their dowry lands, the public lands ceded 

by Congress to new States from which they would derive 

their taxes, were also withheld. In the summer of 1890, 

Congress repealed the provision for withdrawal of lands 

except those selected as reservoir sites and provided no 

further funds for the Irrigation Survey.

The demise of the Irrigation Survey was the first 

serious setback; another followed 2 years later. The year in 

which the Irrigation Survey was discontinued was one of

almost universal national discontent in the United States. 

Farmer and labor organizations began to join together with 

other protest groups to achieve their common objectives. 

The monetary situation was precarious. Production of gold 

had been declining for many years while the production of 

silver had steadily increased and its market price as steadily 

declined. In 1890, the silver and inflationist forces in the 

Senate, reinforced by the Senators from the recently admitted States of North and South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming, succeeded in passing a bill for 

free and unlimited coinage of silver. The House blocked 

that bill, but a compromise bill passed in July 1890 required 

the Treasury to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of silver each 

month (the estimated total U.S. production) at the prevailing market price and to issue in payment legal-tender 

Treasury notes redeemable in gold or silver at the option of 

the Treasury. The effect was an increase in the circulation 

of redeemable paper currency and a weakening of the 

Federal gold reserve, creating a fear that the silver inflation 

might take the country off the gold standard. A new

The First Quarter-Century 15
downward spiral of commodity prices began in 1891 and for 

the first time in 20 years the Treasury announced an 

impending deficit.

At this critical point in its history, the Geological 

Survey was out of favor with Congress, with many American geologists, who felt that it had too often acted 

unilaterally, and with some elements of the mining industry, who felt that economic geology was being neglected. In 

a mood for economy, Congress in 1892 slashed appropriations for scientific agencies, especially those items which 

seemed to have little immediate practical purpose. The 

Geological Survey's appropriations for geologic surveys, 

paleontology, and chemistry and physics were drastically 

reduced, and several statutory positions were eliminated. 

Only the appropriation for the report on mineral resources 

went unscathed, although the appropriation for topographic 

surveys was cut only a little. The Senate then appointed a 

Select Committee to "investigate the operations of the 

United States Geological Survey, the efficiency and utility 

of such a survey, together with the progress made and 

economy observed in this work." 16

The congressional action was clearly aimed at Powell 

and his administration of the Geological Survey, and the 

reasons for it were equally clear. The principal reason was 

that Survey science was not serving the great economic 

interests of the country although the all-encompassing 

nature of the Survey work or resentment of Powell's ideas 

of land reform and the closing of the public domain during 

the Irrigation Survey, to which some historians have attributed the action, may have played a part. In particular, 

Senators from the mining States in the West, which were 

also States in the arid region, wanted economic geology 

restored to the preeminent position it had had under King, 

and members of Congress in the South and East wanted 

economic geology investigations in their region. A few 

powerful Senators in fact wanted to force Po well's resignation and to restore King to the directorship.

Powell continued to occupy the position of Director 

until June 30, 1894, but his control of the Survey's geologic 

work came to an end in August 1892. Charles D. Walcott 

gradually took charge, first on an emergency basis when 

Powell was absent from the office for several months, then 

with administrative responsibilities delegated by Powell. 

On July 1, 1893, the Secretary of the Interior appointed 

Walcott Geologist-in-Charge of Geology and Paleontology. 

In the spring of 1894, Powell told the House Committee on 

Agriculture, then considering legislation to transfer the 

Geological Survey from the Department of the Interior to 

the Department of Agriculture, that although the Geological 

Survey when it was organized was supposed to be concerned principally with mines and mining, the bulk of its 

operations were now concerned with agriculture. The Secretary of the Interior requested a cut in Powell's salary, a 

device used by the administration to embarrass officials and 

force their resignation, and Powell submitted his resignation

in May 1894. The Secretary of the Interior promptly 

recommended to President Grover Cleveland the appointment of Walcott as the third Director of the U. S. Geological 

Survey.

Walcott was not an obvious choice for the position in 

view of the congressional desire for more emphasis on 

economic geology. He was a man of unusual administrative 

and scientific ability, but, although he had already established an international reputation in what he chose to call 

paleontologic geology, as late as 1890 he was one of the 

lower paid paleontologists and in 1892 had been on the 

verge of leaving the Survey to become a professor at the 

University of Chicago. Walcott, however, had been one of 

King's early appointees, as an assistant geologist at $600 a 

year, and had been part of the group that worked with King 

in New York after King's resignation as Director. Walcott 

understood the difficulties the Geological Survey faced and 

the steps that had to be taken. In fact, in the request for 

funds that was sent to Congress in December 1892, the 

purpose for which the geologic surveys were to be made 

was changed from "preparation of the geologic map" 17 to 

"locating and representing by maps, sections, and 

reports, " 18 the various mineral resources known or believed 

to exist in 17 different areas, including those in the Eastern 

States.

Walcott's appointment was greeted with cautious 

approval by geologists but more or less ignored by the 

mining fraternity, although King assured them of his 

administrative ability. Walcott revived the mission orientation of the Geological Survey as outlined by King in 1879 

but broadened the mission beyond that envisioned by King. 

The Survey would aid not just the mineral industry but all 

industries-in fact any practical objective that could be 

aided by a knowledge of geology. It would not, however, 

be limited to practical geology but would undertake basic 

research whenever research was necessary in the solution of 

a geologic problem.

Walcott abolished all organizational units within the 

Geologic Branch and assumed direct control of the work. 

Mining geology studies were resumed and extended into the 

Eastern States, and in view of the gold crisis, an intensive 

study of gold deposits, including exploration for new 

sources, was begun. The deposits at Cripple Creek, Colorado, a little-understood telluride ore, were studied, as were 

those at Mercur, Utah, which had become usable through 

development of the cyanidation process. Studies of gold 

deposits in Alaska began in 1895. By 1900, the value of 

gold produced annually in the United States was more than 

twice what it had been in 1890, and the United States 

adopted the gold standard as its monetary base. The 

mining-district studies were not restricted to gold but were 

also undertaken in the iron districts of Michigan and 

Minnesota and the copper districts of Montana, Utah, and 

Arizona. Nor were they held to practical matters only. By 

1900, the ideas on the classification and genesis of ores,

which King had hoped would come from the mininggeology program, were matters of intense discussion; 

papers on these topics at the meeting of the American 

Institute of Mining Engineers in 1901 became landmarks in 

the history of geology.

Basic science was an integral part of the Geologic 

Branch program. Fundamental studies were made in the 

genesis of ore deposits, in paleontology and stratigraphy, in 

glacial geology, and in petrography. The geologic time 

scale was revised, new definitions for rock classes were 

developed, and the first geologic folios were published.

Geology was also extended to include the study of 

water. In 1894, a small appropriation was obtained for the 

purpose of "gauging the streams and determining the water 

supply of the United States." 19 Streamflow measurements 

begun during the Irrigation Survey had been continued in a 

modest way as part of the topographic mapping program 

after the Irrigation Survey was discontinued in 1890. With 

the new appropriation, work was expanded. In 1895, the 

work was transferred to the Geologic Branch, and studies of 

underground water and water utilization were gradually 

added to the stream gaging. Appropriations were increased 

regularly, and in 1896 a new series of publications was 

inaugurated to make available the ever-increasing volume 

of information. The Irrigation Congress that met in Phoenix 

in December 1896 reversed the opinions of earlier congresses with regard to the Geological Survey's role in 

public-land management by recommending establishment 

of a Public Lands Commission, including the Director of 

the Geological Survey as a member, to be responsible for

preparing a topographic map, determining the water supply, 

ascertaining the character and value of the timber, and 

making regulations for the occupation and utilization of the 

public lands.

The development of the topographic work followed a 

similar pattern. Before Walcott became Director, the work 

of the Topographic Branch of the Survey had been criticized 

by many who considered the extensive program inappropriate for a geological survey and more properly part of 

another organization, but at the beginning of his directorate 

Walcott simply announced that topographic map quality 

would be improved. Within a few months, the topographic 

corps was placed under Civil Service, thus eliminating 

some of the difficulties of the Powell era when many with 

inadequate or no training, including congressional relatives, 

had been employed. A practical demonstration was made of 

the advantages of combining topographic surveys and the 

subdivisional surveys of the General Land Office in Indian 

Territory. The value of topographic maps for practical 

purposes was greatly increased by the placement of permanent bench marks showing the exact location and elevation 

of fixed points.

By 1897, Walcott had regained the confidence of 

Congress. The Forest Management Act that year placed 

management of the forest reserves in the Department of the 

Interior and required that surveys of the "public lands that 

have been or may be designated forest reserves"20 be made

under the supervision of the Director of the Geological 

Survey. Survey topographers within the next 3 years 

mapped more than 32,000 square miles in and adjacent to 

the reserves, even though most were in wilderness areas. At 

the same time, a program of topographic mapping on the 

larger scales needed for more urbanized areas was steadily 

growing in cooperation with the Eastern States.

In the late 1890's, geologic work was extended into 

new fields and went beyond the national domain. In 1897, 

a Survey geologist and a hydrographer were detailed to the 

Nicaraguan Canal Commission to study the proposed canal 

route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Commission made extensive use of their findings, marking 

perhaps the first time on this continent that geological 

evidence provided support for a great engineering project. 

After the Spanish-American War in 1898, Survey geologists were sent to investigate the mineral resources of Cuba 

and the Philippine Islands.

In 1897, a Senate resolution called for a three-man 

commission, including the Director of the Geological Survey, "to determine the best method of ascertaining all the 

facts of general importance relating to mines and mining 

within the United States, whether by a mining bureau, a 

Secretary of Mines and Mining, a Commissioner of Mines, 

or a commission." 21 In December 1898, a Senate resolution 

called for a Division of Mines and Mining in the Geological

The First Quarter-Century 19
Survey to gather statistics on mineral resources and mineral 

production and to make investigations related to mines and 

mining. Walcott agreed that the mining interests should be 

represented in the organization of the Government and that 

establishing such a division would care for the interests of 

the mining industry. He added that, in addition to preciousmetal investigations, studies should be undertaken of coal, 

coke, petroleum, asphalts, building stones, and clays.

In 1900, a bill for establishment of a Department of 

Mines with the Survey as a nucleus was tiled but not acted 

on. However, when Congress appropriated for the Survey 

110 percent of the amount it had requested, the Geologic 

Branch was reorganized, and a Division of Mining and 

Mineral Resources was established.

The reorganization of the Geologic Branch on July 1, 

1900, was an experiment designed to separate scientific and 

administrative control. Seven divisions were established, 

covering specified subject areas, each in charge of a 

specialist who would prepare plans of work, establish 

priorities, recommend geologists to undertake particular 

projects, and review manuscripts. Party chiefs would plan 

the conduct of the work. The Director would approve plans 

and make allotments. In essence, it was King's plan of 1879 

adapted to a larger organization.

In his presidential address to the Geological Society 

of America in December 1900, Walcott foresaw that the 

"standards of the future will be progressively higher and 

higher, and the scope of routine investigations will become 

broader. As geologic science progresses, and as new uses 

are discovered for mineral resources, it will become necessary to increase the number of classes of facts to be covered 

by areal surveys. * * * Every investigation undertaken to 

solve some geologic problem, whether it prove successful 

or not, is sure to develop other problems, and the geologic 

Alexander will never lack worlds to conquer." 22

At the time, Federal science was clearly enjoying a 

new but somewhat hazardous status. While becoming more 

involved in the economic life of the Nation, it was at the 

same time tending more and more toward the practical, so 

Washington scientists were seeking private funds to support 

basic research. In May 1901, the Board of Trustees of the 

Washington Memorial Association, of which Walcott was 

president, was incorporated "to promote science and literature; to provide opportunities and facilities for higher 

learning, and to facilitate the utilization of the scientific and 

other resources of the government for purposes of research 

and higher education,"23 and a plan for a nongovernmental 

institution to promote the study of science and liberal arts in 

Washington was developed. The trustees conferred with 

Andrew Carnegie, who agreed to endow the Carnegie 

Institution of Washington for the purpose of "extending 

human knowledge by original investigations and 

research." 24 The trustees of the new institution, of which 

Walcott was Secretary, defined the limits of research as the 

limits of the knowable, and concluded that the function of

 fV

the institution should be the substitution of organized for 

unorganized effort whenever it promised the best results, 

and the prevention of needless duplication of work, pointing 

out that no investigator, working alone, could approach the 

largest problems in the broadest way thoroughly and systematically.

The accession of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency in September 1901, after the assassination of President William McKinley, very quickly had an effect on the 

Survey program. By inclination and training, Roosevelt was 

in full sympathy with the movement for scientific management of the Nation's resources, and in his first State of the 

Union message, in December 1901, outlined a national 

forest and water policy. The long effort to promote reclamation of the arid lands, with which both Walcott and F.H. 

Newell were associated, culminated in passage of the 

Newlands Act in June 1902 and the establishment of the 

Reclamation Service. At the same time, the appropriation 

for the Geological Survey's water-resources investigations 

was increased and the total appropriation for the Geological 

Survey for the first time was more than $1 million. At the

20 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
direction of President Roosevelt, the Reclamation Service 

became an adjunct of the Geological Survey, and Walcott 

served as director of both agencies.

The organization of the Geologic Branch was again 

altered when Walcott assumed additional duties as Director 

of the Reclamation Service and Secretary of the Carnegie 

Institution of Washington in 1902. Administrative control 

of five divisions was transferred from the Director to the 

Geologist-in-charge of Geology and Paleontology, and 

those five divisions became sections in the Division of 

Geology and Paleontology. The Division of Physical and 

Chemical Research and the Division of Mining and Mineral 

Resources remained under the administrative control of the 

Director. The Hydrographic Division was separated from 

the Geologic Branch and became the Hydrographic Branch. 

In 1903, the Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources, in 

effect an Alaskan geological survey because it included 

topographic mapping, was established in the Geologic 

Branch.

Federal science had then become so involved in the 

economic life of the Nation that inevitably it also became 

caught up in the making of national policy. The Geological 

Survey through its Director had had a hand in the passage of 

the Forest Management Act in 1897 and the establishment 

of the Reclamation Service in 1902. Shortly thereafter the 

Geological Survey also became involved in the regulation 

of industry. When the coal resources of the Nation became 

a matter of public interest because of the hardships endured 

during the prolonged anthracite coal strike in 1902, President Roosevelt appointed a commission, including among 

its members the Survey's coal statistician, to arbitrate the 

dispute. The commission in its report was critical of the 

rivalry between railroads, which owned or controlled more 

than 96 percent of the anthracite deposits, of wasteful 

methods of mining, and of mining safety practices, and the 

Commissioner of Corporations in the newly established 

Department of Commerce and Labor promptly began an 

investigation of some of these problems.

Early in 1903, President Roosevelt also appointed the 

Director of the Geological Survey chairman of a committee 

to investigate the scientific work of the Government to 

increase its usefulness, efficiency, and economy. The 

committee concluded that, in general, the work of scientific 

research on the part of the Government should be limited 

primarily to utilitarian purposes and that research in pure 

science on broad and general grounds should be within the 

scope of private institutions. The committee favored organization of research around a problem rather than a discipline, and recommended the transfer of several bureaus, 

including the Geological Survey, to the Department of 

Agriculture, which already included one-third of all Federal 

scientific bureaus, received three-fifths of all appropriations 

for scientific work, and employed two-thirds of all Federal 

scientists. No action was taken on these recommendations 

but at the time President Roosevelt was much involved in

foreign affairs, including negotiations for the isthmian canal 

and Alaskan boundary problems.

In 1904, the U.S. Geological Survey celebrated the 

25th anniversary of its establishment. It had grown from an 

organization of 38 employees at the end of its first year to 

one with 491 employees (and another 187 in the adjunct 

Reclamation Service) in 1904. Its first appropriation had 

been $106,000; the appropriation for the fiscal year that 

ended on June 30, 1904, was $1.4 million. It had become 

the leading geologic institution in the United States in the 

view of "American Men of Science," and many of the 100 

geologists whose work was considered most significant by 

their peers, including the first five ranked numerically, were 

associated with the Survey. To mark the anniversary, a 

bulletin describing the Survey and its operations during the 

25 years was published. Among the achievements noted 

were preparation of topographic maps of 929,850 square 

miles of the United States (26 percent of the country 

including Alaska) published as 1,327 atlas sheets; geologic 

mapping of 171,000 square miles and publication of 106 

geologic folios; experimental and theoretical investigations 

of the physical characteristics of rocks in various processes 

of formation, of volcanic and geyser action, and of rock 

composition and structure; paleontologic and stratigraphic 

studies; streamflow measurements and their analysis, 

which, among other things, had stimulated the development 

of water power, especially in the Southern States; and 

studies of irrigable lands and detailed examination and 

classification of 110,000 square miles of the forest reserves.

Of all the work of the Geological Survey, the bulletin 

concluded, its immediate value to the people was best 

shown by the aid extended in developing the mineral 

resources and in forwarding important engineering projects 

in which the people, as well as Federal and State Governments, were interested. Singled out for special mention 

were the investigations of the mining geology of Leadville, 

of the Lake Superior iron ores, and of the Appalachian coal 

field.

The mining geology program had, in fact, been a 

major factor in the development of economic geology as a 

distinct field in geology, composed of both theoretical and 

practical aspects. The 25th anniversary of the Survey 

coincided with the beginning of a new journal Economic 

Geology, and with a call from the American Mining 

Congress for establishment of a Department of Mines and a 

counter statement from the Engineering and Mining Journal 

that a bureau of mining should be established under the 

Director of the Geological Survey because "in no other 

country we say it advisedly has economic geology been 

applied to the development of industry with such beneficent 

results as in the United States, and no geological survey has 

contributed so much to the practical application of the 

science of geology in mining operations as has the organization in whose behalf we bespeak the earnest interest of 

our readers ," 25 What the Survey needed, the Journal

resources.

said, was greater scope for economic geology and 

"freedom from the encroachments of the wood and water 

departments." 26

BEGINNING THE SECOND QUARTERCENTURY

In 1904, as the U.S. Geological Survey began its 

second quarter-century, the United States was in the early 

stages of a period of profound change just as it had been 

when the Survey began in 1879, but many of the problems 

facing the Nation in 1904 were very different from those of 

1879. During the Survey's first 25 years, the United States 

had become an urban industrial world power. The population had increased from 48.9 million in 1879 to 81.8 million 

in 1904. The number of manufacturing establishments and 

the value of manufactured products had more than doubled 

during this period, and the value of the mineral products had 

increased from $365 million in 1879 to more than $1 billion 

in 1904. At the same time, settlement of the West had 

proceeded so rapidly that by 1890 the frontier had disappeared.

During this age of change, which began in the early 

years of the century, national policies that had prevailed in 

the late 19th century were abandoned, social and economic 

reforms were enacted, and the role of the Federal Government was developed. In fact, the whole fabric of American 

life was altered. More than one historian has noted the 

correlation between this period and changes in the use of 

energy. Whether or not changes in the use of energy 

affected American mores, clearly they affected the development of natural resources, especially the fossil fuels and 

water, and these in turn resulted in changes in the geological 

sciences.

The most obvious change was the increased interest 

in nonmetalliferous resources, including the fossil fuels. 

For several years, the Geological Survey had been reporting

that an increasing proportion of the value of the annual 

mineral production of the United States was being contributed by the nonmetalliferous resources. In 1898, when 

problems began to develop in the coal industry that caused 

consumers to turn to other kinds of fuel, Director Walcott 

had suggested to Congress that a thorough investigation, 

including practical tests, be made of the coals and cokes of 

the United States so they might be used to the best 

advantage, in his own way echoing King's statement in 

1880 that mineral resources should be used with the utmost 

scientific economy. In 1901, oil became a major Survey 

interest after the successful drilling of a well at Spindletop, 

20 miles southeast of Beaumont, Texas, inaugurated a new 

era in the oil industry.

At the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904, celebrating 

the centennial of the Nation's first great acquisition of 

western territory, the Geological Survey was given an 

opportunity to demonstrate the value of the more comprehensive investigations of coal and coke, which it had been 

proposing for many years. For the department of mining 

and metallurgy at the exposition, which the Survey had 

agreed to organize, appropriations totaling $60,000 were 

obtained for analyzing and testing coals and lignites "to 

determine their fuel values and the most economic method 

for their utilization for different purposes."27 The coaltesting program almost immediately began to produce 

significant results, and after the fair was over, it was 

extended and became part of the regular Survey program. 

At the same time, a similar program for the testing of 

structural materials was begun. Construction of large public 

works by the Reclamation Service and the Panama Canal 

Commission, among others, made the program Walcott had 

proposed in 1898 of immediate value.

In 1905, the Survey also obtained additional funds to 

increase its field investigations of iron and coal, the staples 

of industry, about which there was some concern, and a 

new program of mapping western coal deposits was started. 

As the emphasis in the Survey's program in economic

22 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989

New Jersey, 1902-1903, were among the earliest studied by 

the Survey.

geology shifted to nonmetallic resources, specifically fuel 

resources, a new Section of the Geology of Fuels was set up 

in the Geologic Branch.

On March 7, 1904, just 4 days after the Survey 

celebrated its silver anniversary, the Second Public Lands 

Commission, appointed in October 1903, submitted its 

preliminary report. The Federal Government, 118 years 

after the Land Ordinance of 1785, still held title to 1 billion 

acres of public lands, most of which, as in 1879, were west 

of the Mississippi River. President Roosevelt had asked the 

Commission to report on the condition, operation, and 

effect of the land laws and to recommend such changes as 

were needed to effect the largest practicable disposition of 

the public lands to actual settlers, requests not unlike those 

Congress had made of the Commission of 1879, but he had 

also asked that the Commission recommend changes in the 

public-land laws "to secure in permanence the fullest and 

most effective use of the resources of the public lands." 28 

The recommendations in the preliminary report bore chiefly 

on the control, use, and disposal of forest lands and the 

control of water, and no consideration was given to the 

mining laws even in the final report although the Commission recognized that changes were necessary. In the spring 

of 1905, Congress transferred the management of the forest 

reserves from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture. The classification of the forest reserves 

was then transferred from the Geological Survey to the 

newly renamed Forest Service. As the Reclamation Service 

was becoming less dependent on the Geological Survey and 

would become independent in 2 years, by the middle of 

1905, most of the public-land management responsibilities 

had been shifted from the Geological Survey.

In 1906, unexpected problems forced a change in the 

Geological Survey program. When the appropriations bill

came up in the House, a Representative from Iowa challenged the authority in law for the Survey to make a map or 

gage streams except in the national domain, which he 

clearly believed to be the public lands, and precipitated a 

2-day debate. In the end, only the appropriation for waterresources investigations was greatly reduced, but on the day 

that the appropriations bill was passed, President Roosevelt 

ordered the Secretary of the Interior to report as soon as 

possible the coal lands where the coal deposits were 

believed to be of such value that the lands should be 

withdrawn from entry. Evidence had been uncovered that 

much coal land had been fraudulently acquired, and the 

Roosevelt administration was about to embark on the 

conservation of mineral resources in dramatic fashion. A 

month later, some 66 million acres of potential coal-bearing 

lands were withdrawn from entry until the Survey could 

determine their extent, location, and value. The "classification of the public lands" in the organic act took on new 

meaning.

In the spring of 1907, Walcott left the Geological 

Survey to become Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. 

Before he left, there was a reprise of the 1906 appropriations debate in Congress and several organizational changes 

within the Survey. The Reclamation Service became an 

independent agency, and F.H. Newell left the Survey to 

become its Director. The fuel-testing and structuralmaterials-testing programs were combined as the Technologic Branch under Joseph A. Holmes. C.W. Hayes, the 

Geologist-in-charge of Geology and Paleontology, was 

given a new title and commensurate responsibilities as 

Chief Geologist of the Survey, in charge of divisions of 

Geology and Paleontology, Chemical and Physical 

Research, Mining and Mineral Resources, and Alaskan 

Mineral Resources.

George Otis Smith, the Geologist-in-charge of the 

Section of Petrography of the Geologic Branch, succeeded 

Walcott as Director in May 1907 and continued as Director 

until December 1930. Smith had joined the Survey after 

receiving his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 

1896, and he was barely 36 years old when he was 

appointed Director. His Survey career had not been particularly distinguished, but he had come to the attention of the 

new Secretary of the Interior, James R. Garfield, in 1906 

when Smith had served as chairman of one of the subcommittees of a Presidential commission that sought to put the 

operation of Government agencies on a modern businesslike 

basis. Smith was particularly interested in a business policy 

for the public domain. He also believed that the work of the 

Survey should be primarily although not exclusively practical.

A combination of circumstances ensured that the 

work of the Survey for many years did indeed become 

primarily practical. For the first 20 years of Smith's 

directorate, appropriations were essentially static while 

funds from outside sources steadily increased, especially for

Beginning the Second Quarter-Century 23
the topographic mapping and water-resources program, 

which were largely practical in nature. The classification 

program was extended as the Roosevelt conservation program developed but Congress steadfastly refused to appropriate additional funds for the new form of classification. It 

was necessary to divert personnel from research programs 

to the classification program, and an exodus of geologists 

from the Survey for more challenging positions in industry, 

which began in the first year of Smith's directorate, resulted 

in residual impoverishment. Within a few years, the profession began to look down on the Survey as a "department 

of practical geology."29

The extension of the classification program began at 

the behest of geologists working in the California oil fields 

who urged the Director to act to safeguard oil development 

on the public lands. At the time, title to oil-bearing lands 

could be obtained only under the Mining Act of 1872, 

which required that a discovery be made before the land 

could be acquired, discoveries required drilling, which 

cannot be done in secret, and potential oil lands were being 

obtained fraudulently under other laws to take advantage of

the oil companies' work. On Smith's recommendation, the 

Secretary of the Interior in August 1907 withdrew some 

potential oil-bearing lands in California from agricultural 

entry, pending classification. In December 1908, newly 

discovered western phosphate lands were withdrawn from 

entry, and the Land Classification Board was established in 

the Geologic Branch to administer the new responsibilities 

for classification. Within a few months of the Board's 

formation, the Survey was assigned responsibility for classification of lands under the Enlarged Homestead Act, and 

a program of hydrographic classification was added to that 

of mineral-land classification.

The classification program was only part of the 

Survey's involvement in the rapidly developing Roosevelt 

conservation program. An Inland Waterways Commission,

appointed in March 1907 to prepare a comprehensive plan 

for use of inland waters, in the fall of 1907 suggested a 

Conference of Governors at the White House to dramatize 

the need for conservation. From the Governors Conference 

in May 1908 came the National Conservation Commission 

that in the record time of 5 months, with the aid of 

Government scientific agencies including the Geological 

Survey, prepared an inventory of natural resources, containing not only estimates but predictions of times of 

exhaustion of various mineral resources.

Conservation, however, became a controversial 

issue, politically and scientifically. Originally, conservation 

had referred primarily to the prevention of waste or destruction of resources and was thus considered a scientific or 

technological problem. In Europe, however, where natural

resources had long been used with the utmost care, it was 

natural for the government to exert some control, and there 

conservation was part of political economy. The conservation inaugurated under Roosevelt differed from European 

conservation in being almost completely restricted to the 

public domain and, by the withdrawal from entry of 

millions of acres of public land, locking up the resources 

rather than regulating their use. Politically, it arrayed East 

against West and progressive against conservative; paradoxically, the progressives rather than the conservatives 

favored conservation. Scientists were also divided; while 

some stressed the need for research, others urged government control.

Under William Howard Taft, who succeeded 

Roosevelt as President in March 1909, the conservation 

movement provided the setting for a battle between progressives and conservatives. Taft was as committed to conservation as Roosevelt but, being a strict constructionist of the 

law, believed it to be his role to give the Roosevelt program 

the force of law. His Secretary of the Interior, Richard A. 

Ballinger, was of like mind. In 1910, Congress undertook 

an investigation, ostensibly of the Forest Service and the 

Department of the Interior with regard to certain land claims 

in Alaska but in reality of loose construction of the law as 

typified by Gifford Pinchot, the Chief Forester and 

Roosevelt confidant, and of strict construction as typified 

by the Secretary of the Interior. The Director of the Survey

strongly supported the Secretary, cheerfully accepted 

greatly increased responsibilities for classification of the 

public lands, including evaluations of waterpower sites, and 

sought and eventually obtained the withdrawal of oilbearing lands in California and Wyoming, Although Secretary Ballinger was exonerated by Congress, he was 

condemned by the public and resigned in 1911. Congress, 

however, had resolved the question of the legality of the 

withdrawals by passing the Pickett Act in 1910. Thereafter, 

the resources of all withdrawn lands except the coal lands, 

which could be sold after being classified and appraised by 

the Geological Survey, became unavailable.

In May 1910, while the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation was still underway, Congress established a new 

agency, the Bureau of Mines, designating the Technologic 

Branch of the Geological Survey as its nucleus, a designation later changed to require the transfer of the structuralmaterials testing to the National Bureau of Standards and 

the mine-accidents and fuel-testing investigations to the 

Bureau of Mines. George Otis Smith served for a few 

months as Director of the Bureau of Mines as well as of the 

Geological Survey until Joseph A. Holmes, who had been 

head of the Technologic Branch in the Survey, was made 

Director of the Bureau of Mines. Unlike the spinoff of the 

Reclamation Service in 1902, which had been accompanied 

by an increase in the Survey appropriation, this second 

spinoff from the Geological Survey resulted in a decrease in

26 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
the appropriation and a greater loss of personnel than the 

transferred elements of the Technologic Branch.

The Geologic Branch by this time was making an 

effort to combine some fundamental research with the 

classification studies. When Chief Geologist Hayes 

resigned to become the vice president of an oil company in 

1911, his successor, Waldemar Lindgren, insisted on the 

opportunity for research and a reduction in the administrative burden of the office. In 1912, the Land Classification 

Board was separated from the Geologic Branch and made 

an independent branch. It had no funds of its own, however, 

and had to subsist on assessments on the the funds of the 

other branches. When Lindgren left in 1912 to become a 

professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 

paleobotanist David White, even more committed to 

research, became Chief Geologist. In 1913, to draw attention to the research aspects of the branch's work, a new 

Professional Paper series, "Shorter Contributions to General 

Geology," was begun.

In 1914, the Survey faced a new problem. Congressmen from Eastern, Midwestern, and Southern States, reacting to the concentration of Survey work in the public-land 

States much as Congressmen 2 decades earlier had reacted 

to the emphasis on general geology-filed bills to require a 

more equitable distribution of work, especially of the 

topographic mapping and water-resources investigations. In 

retaliation, a Congressman from California proposed an 

amendment to the appropriations bill to restrict the geologic 

work of the Survey to the public lands. The House passed 

the amendment but, fortunately, the Senate and the Conference Committee rejected it.

WORLD WAR I

World War I reoriented conventional views on mineral resources. When the war began in August 1914, it was 

assumed that the conflict would last but a short time. The 

United States was believed to lack a known supply commensurate with its needs of only five minerals of first 

rank tin, nickel, platinum, nitrates, and potash. On the 

other hand, the reserves of mineral fuels and iron were 

regarded as so enormous that no problems would arise. The 

Geological Survey, however, immediately increased its 

geologic mapping to aid the discovery of new oil fields or 

extension of known fields, but of the five scarce minerals 

actively sought only potash. The war at first disrupted 

normal trade relations, but before long, Europe was in 

urgent need of American agricultural products and then in 

still more urgent need of American steel, copper, and 

explosives. Within 2 years, some minerals became difficult 

to obtain, and the Survey reoriented its work to aid the 

search for both metals and fuels.

When the United States entered the war in April 

1917, the Geological Survey was almost wholly on a war

I, 1917.

basis. Earlier in the year, a Division of Military Surveys had 

been formed, and plans for topographic work were adjusted 

to conform with a program drawn up by the Army's General 

Staff. The majority of the technical personnel of the 

Topographic Branch were commissioned in the Army's 

Corps of Engineers, as were many scientists from the other 

branches, including the Chief of the Alaskan Division, who 

became the Chief Geologist of the American Expeditionary 

Force.

The strategic-minerals concept was born at this time 

when it became clear that domestic supplies of a dozen 

minerals were inadequate in quantity or quality or both, 

another half dozen adequate for peace but insufficient for 

war, and petroleum production barely sufficient to meet the 

Nation's normal demand and much too small for the 

abnormal demands of war. In August 1917, Congress 

passed the Lever Act empowering the President to make 

regulations and issue orders to stimulate and conserve the 

production and control the distribution of fuels necessary to 

the war effort. A similar bill for the control of other mineral 

commodities was passed shortly before the war ended but 

never put into effect.

During the war years, the Survey sought intensively 

for deposits of war minerals at home and, in time, extended 

the search to Central and South America and the West 

Indies. The results were highly successful; adequate supplies of all essential materials were found before the war's 

end. The Geological Survey also became the main source of 

information on mineral production, both domestic and 

foreign, and its data were used to solve a variety of 

industrial and transportation problems. Personnel from the 

Survey's Division of Mineral Resources worked in close 

cooperation with statisticians of the Fuel Administration 

established after passage of the Lever Act. Geological 

Survey engineers also undertook a nationwide survey to 

determine where waterpower could be substituted for

steam-generated power or where coal could be saved by

THE 1920'S

World War I had a pronounced effect on American 

science; it convinced industry of the value of research, 

accustomed scientists to work together on the solution of 

problems, and acquainted scientists in both the public and 

private sectors with disciplines other than their own. Once 

the war was over, however, Congress stressed economy, 

and Federal science suffered for lack of support. So great 

was the demand for economy that only 1 percent of the 

budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1919, was 

earmarked for education and scientific research and development. Industrial research, on the other hand, flourished 

and created a second industrial revolution based on chemistry. Many scientists left the Government at this time to 

accept more remunerative positions in industry or in the 

academic world.

The apparent insufficiency of energy resources was 

one of the postwar problems calling for immediate attention. Oil shortages in 1919 and 1920 gave credibility to 

predictions of the exhaustion of domestic supplies within a 

decade. At the same time, so many Survey scientists were 

leaving for positions in the oil industry that in some sections 

there were too few scientists left to train newcomers, and 

the Survey had to face the long slow process of rebuilding 

its geologic staff. Many who left the Survey at this time 

later became chief geologists of leading oil companies, and 

thus, during the 1930's, a significant proportion of oilcompany chief geologists were men who had begun their 

training under David White.

The postwar shortages convinced Congress that it was 

necessary to open up the public mineral lands to development. In February 1920, the Mineral Leasing Act was 

passed. Under the terms of that act, mineral lands were to 

be leased by competitive bidding, and royalties and other 

income were to be divided between the Federal Government 

and the States. The Survey's responsibility for classification 

of mineral lands was again changed; its major task became

28 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989

connection with proposed power and storage projects, 1921.

the determination of the known geological structure of 

producing oil or gas fields within which oil and gas leases 

would be issued. Congress then for the first time appropriated funds for the classification of public lands, which in 

turn were allotted to the field branches.

Waterpower as an alternative source of energy was 

given new status by passage of the Federal Water Power Act 

in June 1920, establishing the Federal Power Commission 

to issue licenses for development of waterpower on Federal 

lands. Under the Water Power Act, the Survey took 

responsibility for the necessary streamflow records and for 

examination of proposed projects on the public lands 

outside the National Forests. In 1921, Congress authorized 

a superpower survey to investigate if economy in fuel, 

labor, and material could be gained by a comprehensive 

system for generation and distribution of electric power in 

the region between Boston and Washington. The study was 

made under the direction of the Geological Survey by 

independent engineers who proposed a power grid that 

anticipated the present northeast power network.

Another postwar problem that demanded action was 

the lack of maps, which had become evident even before 

war was declared when the Army had found itself without 

maps upon which to base its defense of the border 

areas. Industrial development, land reclamation, powergeneration projects, and highway construction were also 

creating a demand for topographic data. Nearly 60 percent 

of the country was still totally unmapped, and much that 

had been mapped was in need of resurvey. Professional 

organizations urged the President and Congress to make 

provision for completing the topographic map of the United 

States in the shortest possible time compatible with requisite 

accuracy. The Survey proposed a plan whereby the mapping could be effectively and economically completed by 

1932, but no funds were made available to inaugurate the 

plan. Meanwhile, several West Indian republics sought the 

assistance of the Geological Survey in both topographic and 

geologic mapping, and Survey scientists and engineers were 

given leave to supervise their mapping programs. Topographic Branch engineers used the tri-lens aerial camera and 

related equipment that they had developed in 1916-17 for a 

systematic aerial survey of parts of Santo Domingo and 

Haiti. In 1921, a Section of Photographic Mapping was 

established in the Topographic Branch.

Despite the loss of scientists to industry, the Survey 

under Chief Geologists David White and Walter C. Mendenhall, who succeeded him in 1922, devoted a major effort 

to energy minerals. Research was begun on the source 

materials of petroleum, the physical properties of reservoir 

rocks, microfaunas as aids to the identification and correThe 1920's 29

lations of beds, and salt-dome caprocks. Survey physicists 

and chemists joined the effort by developing improved 

recovery techniques and by laboratory and field tests of 

geophysical methods of exploration. In addition, geologic 

mapping for classification purposes and mapping of potential oil areas was continued, especially in Wyoming, where 

there was some oil company interest, and in Montana, 

where only the Survey had done any detailed work. In 

1923, the Survey extended its intensive study of possible 

oil-bearing areas to Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 on the 

Arctic Coast of Alaska. The Survey's long-range stratigraphic correlation studies also became a contribution 

valued by industry in its exploration for petroleum.

By the mid-1920's, new discoveries in the midcontinent region, the Gulf Coast, and California resulted in an oil 

surplus, and overproduction and competition leading to 

reckless waste became a major public concern. This postwar expansion of the oil industry from famine to glut was in 

part the result of the striking developments in the geological 

sciences in the industry, as well as Government surveys and 

the academic world. Two new professional societies, the 

Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, of 

which Chief Geologist David White was a founder, and the

Society of Exploration Geophysicists, attested to the coming of age of new branches of the geological sciences.

Chief Geologist Mendenhall, who became known for 

his frequently repeated aphorism "There can be no applied 

science unless there is science to apply,"30 strengthened the 

research aspects of the geologic program during this period 

even though the size of the staff continued to decrease. By 

1925, when the rate of exodus of staff had been slowed or 

even reversed in some sections, nearly all the geologic work 

was reoriented toward research.

The Survey, through the Director, also became 

involved in energy policy. After the great coal strike in 

1922, a Coal Commission was established to study the 

problems of the industry and to aid Congress on legislation 

that would ensure the Nation of an adequate supply of coal. 

Director Smith was a member of the Commission, and the 

Geological Survey's resource data provided the basis for 

much of the Commission's report. In 1924, Smith unsuccessfully urged resumption of coal research in much the 

same terms as Walcott had used in 1898. Director Smith 

also served as Chairman of a three-man commission 

appointed by President Calvin Coolidge in March 1924, 

after the Teapot Dome scandal, to study the efficient

30 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
management of the naval petroleum reserves, and as Chairman of the Advisory Committee to the Cabinet-level Federal Oil Conservation Board established in December 1924 

to reappraise Federal oil policies.

The Survey once more became involved in regulatory 

functions in 1925, when the Bureau of Mines, which had 

had responsibility for supervising mineral lease operations 

on the public lands since passage of the Mineral Leasing 

Act in 1920, was transferred to the Department of Commerce, and the Department of the Interior delegated that 

responsibility to the Geological Survey. The Land Classification Branch was renamed the Conservation Branch and 

its responsibilities were described as classification of lands 

according to their highest use; the protection of the public 

interest in undeveloped mineral, waterpower, and agricultural resources; and the promotion of economical and 

efficient development of mineral deposits on public and 

Indian lands. The regulatory functions, which were quite 

different from any previous Geological Survey responsibilities, required a large force of mining and petroleum 

engineers who increased the Geological Survey staff to 

more than 1,000 employees, of whom only 126 were 

geologists.

The topographic-mapping and water-resources programs by this time were heavily dependent on cooperative 

and transferred funds. In February 1925, Congress passed 

the Temple bill which called for completion of a topographic map of the United States within 20 years and 

authorized both an appropriation of $950,000 for the first 

year and cooperative arrangements with States and other 

civic subdivisions to expedite the mapping. Congress, 

however, did not increase the appropriation to the authorized level but instead made it evident that it expected the 

States to bear most of the cost. In 1927, Congress appropriated additional funds for topographic mapping with the 

proviso that they be available only to match cooperative 

funds from States or municipalities. Under these circumstances, the topographic-mapping program was controlled 

by the cooperators and could not be a truly national 

program.

A similar situation existed in the Water Resources 

Branch, where directly appropriated funds were less than 30 

percent of the total. Congress, in 1928, increased the funds 

for water-resources investigations, again with the proviso 

that the additional funds be available only to match cooperative funds. The bulk of the work was stream gaging, 

much of it in connection with flood-control investigations of 

the Corps of Engineers or international problems for the 

Department of State. Waterpower investigations were often 

made in conjunction with engineers of the Topographic 

Branch. Demands for quantitative information on the availability and most efficient methods of utilizing ground water 

became increasingly urgent; in some parts of the country, 

the demand for ground water for municipal supplies or 

irrigation had become so great that there was danger of

overdevelopment. In much the same manner that the 

mining-geology investigations of the Survey's first quartercentury led to the development of general principles and the 

emergence of economic geology, in the latter part of the 

second quarter-century ground-water investigations progressed to a quantitative stage, and a major report on the 

occurrence of ground water in the United States with a 

discussion of the principles of hydrology was published. As 

a new stage in the professionalization of the science was 

reached, Survey scientists took an active role in the organization of the Section of Hydrology of the American 

Geophysical Union.

For its 50th year, the Survey had an appropriation of 

$2 million and available total funds of $3.4 million. It had 

998 permanent employees and was conducting mapping and 

investigations in 45 States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District 

of Columbia. Nearly 44 percent of the continental United 

States exclusive of Alaska had been topographically 

mapped. Streamflow was being measured at 2,238 gaging 

stations; income from mineral leases, licenses, and prospecting permits on the public lands under Survey supervision was $4.1 million. As part of the 50th anniversary 

celebration, Survey alumnus President Herbert Hoover and 

Mrs. Hoover received members of the Survey at the White 

House on March 21, 1929, the 50th anniversary of the 

appointment of Clarence King as the first Director.

THE DEPRESSION YEARS

The Great Depression began only 7 months after 

Hoover's inauguration, and efforts to combat it dominated 

the next decade. Before it began, however, Hoover's 

interest in science and conservation brought about a change 

in the Survey's work in several respects, first in conservation activities and then in basic research. In the conservation 

of the public lands, Hoover recognized three urgent problems: overgrazing, which diminished the value of the lands 

and imperiled the water supply through destruction of the 

natural cover; the best method of applying reclamation in 

order to gain real and enlarged conservation of water 

resources; and the conservation of oil and gas resources. He 

took action first on the third problem, announcing on March 

12, 1929, that henceforth there would be the greatest 

possible conservation of Government oil, thereby changing 

the work of the Conservation Branch with respect to oil and 

gas leases. The importance given to the conservation of 

water resources led to a still greater expansion of the Water 

Resources Branch.

In the fall of 1929, the first Hoover budget called for 

increased funds for scientific agencies, including $100,000 

for fundamental research in geologic sciences, the first 

substantial increase in Federal funds for geologic investigations since 1915. In the spring of 1930, Congress appropriated $2.87 million for the Geological Survey and also

appropriated funds for the expenses of a commission on the 

conservation and administration of the public domain.

In December 1930, Hoover appointed George Otis 

Smith to the newly reorganized Federal Power Commission 

and then appointed Walter C. Mendenhall to succeed Smith 

as Director of the Geological Survey, honoring not only a 

commitment to appoint the heads of scientific agencies from 

within the civil service but also a commitment to support 

basic research. Mendenhall was 59, the same age as Smith. 

He had joined the Survey in 1894, fresh from Ohio Normal 

University, and had mapped in the Appalachian coal fields. 

In 1898, he had been one of the pioneer geologists in 

Alaska, and in 1903 he had become one of the first 

ground-water specialists in the Water Resources Branch. 

An early member of the Land Classification Board, he 

became its chairman in 1911 and in 1912 the first Chief of 

the Land Classification Branch. For 8 years before becoming Director, Mendenhall had been the Chief Geologist. 

Although more than half his Survey career had been in 

administrative work, he had made notable contributions to 

the geology of Alaska, and his study of the principles in 

ground-water hydrology had helped to establish it as a field 

of scientific endeavor. Like King, Powell, and Walcott, 

Mendenhall became a member of the National Academy of 

Sciences.

Mendenhall's directorate was pivotal in the history of 

the Geological Survey. In spite of the difficult times, the 

depression years, and the beginning of World War II, he 

encouraged the Survey, as he had the Geologic Branch, to 

emphasize the necessity of basic research and created an 

environment in which, in the words of the Engineering and 

Mining Journal, "scientific research, technical integrity, 

and practical skill could flourish." 31

A year after Mendenhall became Director, the Federal budget was sharply cut as the effects of the depression 

began to be felt. The appropriations were not restored to 

earlier levels until the late 1930's, shortly before the 

outbreak of World War II, but the Survey subsisted, even 

grew, on funds transferred from agencies formed to combat 

the depression by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. 

The Tennessee Valley Authority, established in May 1933, 

turned to the Survey to meet its need for maps of the entire 

valley and for a much expanded program of stream gaging 

throughout the basin. Time constraints on the mapping 

assignment provided the Survey with an opportunity for a 

full-scale test of the use of aerial photography, with which 

it had been experimenting since 1904, and ultimately, with 

the aid of newly developed photogrammetric equipment and 

techniques, led to a complete revolution in mapmaking 

procedures. The Public Works Administration, established 

in June 1933, began allocating funds in August for topographic mapping, water-resources projects, and muchneeded safety work on the public lands that by November 1 

amounted to more than $3.7 million, more than the total of 

all funds for the Survey's 50th year. By the end of the fiscal 

year, the funds from other Federal agencies and cooperative 

funds were four times the Federal appropriation. The grants 

from the Public Works Administration and the Tennessee 

Valley Authority could be and were used in part to extend 

Survey investigations and mapping into new areas and to

support research studies. Mineral-resource investigations 

were made in Eastern and Southern States, extensive studies 

of the relation of rainfall to runoff and of the magnitude and 

frequency of floods were undertaken, gaging-station networks with improved structures and instruments were 

expanded, the topographic-mapping program became a 

national program, and most of the mapping was done at the 

needed larger scales.

The Roosevelt administration made extensive use of 

boards and commissions for planning purposes, including 

both science and conservation. The Science Advisory 

Board, established by President Roosevelt in July 1933 and 

placed under the jurisdiction of the National Academy of 

Sciences and the National Research Council, reported to 

Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes that the organization 

of the Survey was well designed, and its scientific and 

technical standards high, but its work was inadequately 

supported and conditions under which its scientists worked 

were intolerable. The National Planning Board, established

at about the same time by Secretary Ickes to aid him in 

formulating a comprehensive plan of public works, evolved 

into a National Resources Board or Committee that 

attempted to develop policies for minerals, mapping, water, 

and land use. Survey scientists and engineers contributed to 

these planning groups. Although Americans in general and 

Congress in particular were suspicious of governmental 

planning, the idea was eventually accepted.

In June 1934, the Taylor Act was passed, providing 

for organization of the public grasslands into grazing 

districts under the control of the Secretary of the Interior. 

By the following March, the President withdrew all remaining public lands, used primarily for grazing, to determine 

the most useful purpose for which they might be used. The 

work of agricultural and grazing classification, which the 

Survey had begun in 1909, was transferred to the new 

Grazing Service as the third spinoff from the Survey.

The Federal appropriation for the Geological Survey 

was restored to its 1931 level for the fiscal year beginning

The Depression Years 33

Figure 35. Military geologists opening a box of soil samples from the Southwest Pacific, 1945.

July 1, 1938. No longer dependent on uncertain emergency 

funds, the Survey hoped to resume its long-term research 

and mapping projects. By that time, however, Germany, 

Italy, and Japan were already perceived to he aggressor 

nations. Beginning in the mid-1930's. both the Survey and 

the Bureau of Mines had called attention to the need for 

strategic-mineral investigations. The need for a national 

mapping program had been outlined as early as 1934. 

Strategic-mineral investigations were begun in 1938 with 

funds from the Public Works Administration. Congress 

passed the Strategic Materials Act in June 1939 and 

appropriated funds for strategic-mineral studies in August, 

only days before Hitler's armies marched into Poland to 

begin World War II.

WORLD WAR II

Topographic mapping of strategic areas in accordance 

with military priorities was begun in 1940. In 1940 also, the 

State Department allotted funds to the Geological Survey to 

begin investigations in cooperation with other American 

republics to identify mineral deposits of potential importance in hemisphere trade.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 

1941, abruptly ushered the United States from defense to 

war and united Americans in a determination to defeat the 

Axis powers. For the next several years, the Geological 

Survey bent its entire energies to the war effort. The 

Geologic, Topographic, Water Resources, and Conservation Branches each made its own special contribution.

Production, the keystone of the American effort, was 

based on metals and other raw materials, which were the 

province of the Geologic Branch. The strategic-minerals 

program begun in 1939 as an adjunct to the geologic 

program was gradually extended from seven strategic minerals to base metals to nonmetallic resources, especially oil, 

and to rare metals. Geologists, geophysicists, chemists, 

physicists, petrologists, and paleontologists were all drawn 

into service, and the Geological Survey reached out to 

universities and industry to recruit others. The search for 

needed resources covered not only the United States but 

also, under the auspices of the State Department or the 

Board of Economic Warfare, Latin America and other 

foreign areas. New methods were devised to aid in the 

search, among them airborne magnetic surveying, which 

the Survey developed in cooperation with the Navy, and 

geochemical prospecting. In addition to its work with raw 

materials, the Geologic Branch formed a group that used the

Chief of the Metals and Minerals Division of the Board of 

Economic Warfare. In the fall of 1943, Wrather was a 

member of the small mission sent by the Petroleum Administrator for War, Harold Ickes, to appraise the petroleum 

resources of the Middle East, and Thomas B. Nolan, a 

geologist in the Metals Section who had played a leading 

role in the strategic-minerals program, became Acting 

Director. A year later, in December 1944, Nolan became 

the Survey's first Assistant Director. Nolan, like Clarence 

King, the first Director, was a graduate of the Sheffield 

Scientific School at Yale and also had a strong interest in 

research to aid the mineral industry. Nolan had joined the 

Survey in 1924, after receiving his doctorate from Yale, and 

his abilities had been quickly recognized. While still only 

an Assistant Geologist, he was made chief of the Gold Hill 

project in Utah, and his study of the Tonopah mining 

district in Nevada helped to revitalize the district. In 1933, 

the International Geological Congress had awarded him its 

Spendiarov Prize as a particularly promising young geologist. The Assistant Director was expected to be the principal 

assistant and deputy to the Director in the general administration of the Survey and representative and deputy of the 

Director on official or technical committees or in conferences with the officers of the Department, other Federal 

agencies, and cooperating agencies. In corporate terms, 

Nolan was the Chief Executive Officer of the Survey and 

Wrather the Chairman of the Board in the effort to ensure 

full use of Survey resources in winning the war and in the 

postwar world.

extensive library resources to prepare terrain reports on 

strategic areas for military engineers. Eventually several 

members of the group joined the engineers in the war 

theaters. The Topographic Branch continued the strategic 

mapping program on behalf of the War Department until the 

threat of invasion passed and then became deeply involved 

in the production of maps of foreign areas for the military. 

The trimetrogon mapping program was developed for rapid 

production of aeronautical charts, at first of Alaska and then 

of other areas of the world as well. The Water Resources 

Branch supplied information on the quantity, quality, and 

availability of surface and ground water needed for cantonments, naval stations, military hospitals, training fields, 

airfields, manufacturing plants, and a host of other purposes 

in more than 15,000 special reports. The Conservation 

Branch was stretched to cover the greatly expanded production of mineral resources from the public lands.

In 1943, as the Federal Government began planning 

for the postwar era, Director Mendenhall, who had served 2 

years beyond then mandatory retirement age by Presidential 

exemption, was succeeded by William Embry Wrather. For 

most of his life, Wrather, a graduate of the University of 

Chicago who had been a Survey field assistant in 1907, had 

been an eminently successful consulting petroleum geologist, but when he was named Director he was Associate

POSTWAR AND COLD WAR

World War II was a watershed in the history of the 

U.S. Geological Survey. Wartime developments in science 

and technology provided new tools for the solution of 

prewar problems that had been put aside and new ones 

created by the exigencies of the war. The contribution of 

science to the security and prosperity of the Nation was 

more widely recognized than ever before, and greater 

demands were made for both traditional and innovative 

research in solving postwar problems. The growth of the 

Geological Survey, begun under the spur of war needs, 

continued after 1945, and thus within only a few years, the 

Survey had become a very different organization than the 

prewar Survey.

Some of the postwar problems faced by the Survey at 

the end of the war were reminiscent of those after World 

War I. Half the Nation, including a large part of the public 

lands, was still without topographic maps, and many of the 

available maps were inadequate to meet the needs of the 

postwar world. Geologic mapping of the country was even 

less complete. Less than 10 percent of the country had been 

mapped geologically on scales suitable for an appraisal of 

natural resources and land potential to meet modem needs,

Postwar and Cold War 35
and the rate of mapping possible with funds available was 

only one-sixth of that needed to complete the job by 1980. 

Base-metal reserves had been greatly depleted during the 

war, the limit of the Nation's capacity to produce efficiently 

from known oil fields had been reached, and appraisal of 

coal reserves and the search for new supplies was considered urgent.

The Geological Survey prepared a plan to provide 

adequate topographic maps for the entire Nation within 20 

years, needing only funds to implement it, planned major 

studies on copper, lead, zinc, iron, and the ferroalloy 

metals, and the continuation or expansion of regional 

studies to aid the search for new petroleum supplies.

There were new problems as well. The United States 

was accounted a have-not nation in radioactive raw materials, and wartime technological developments had created 

needs for many other rare elements, such as beryllium and 

tungsten, Development of the Missouri River Basin by 

coordinated projects of the Bureau of Reclamation and the 

Corps of Engineers, authorized by Congress in December 

1944, would begin as soon as the war was over. The Survey 

would be called on to conduct an extensive topographicmapping program, an intensive multiyear program of 

hydrologic data collection and investigations, and geologic 

investigations to help determine the availability of construction materials, suitability for irrigation, susceptibility to 

landslides, and water-holding capacity of various sites. 

Survey scientists and engineers also continued to serve in 

foreign areas. Under the auspices of the State Department, 

cooperative projects were continued in several Latin American countries. Several members of the Military Geology 

Section were assigned to the Natural Resources Section, 

General Headquarters, Supreme Allied Powers, in Tokyo, 

where they formed the main part of the Mining and Geology 

Division. Geologic and hydrologic studies were also made 

in Korea, and two geologists were assigned to the general 

engineer district in Manila to make surveys of construction 

materials to aid in the rebuilding of Manila and to cooperate 

in a program designed to develop the valuable mineral 

deposits of the Philippine Islands.

Both the Geologic and the Topographic Branches 

reorganized to cope better with postwar problems. The 

Geologic Branch was divided in the fall of 1945 into two 

groups of sections, one of economic geology, the other of 

basic and engineering sciences. Included were sections for 

new specialties in foreign geology, engineering geology, 

military geology, and geophysics. The Topographic Branch 

established two staff divisions, Plans and Coordination, and 

Research and Technical Control, on January 2, 1946, to 

prepare for an immense mapping effort with new mapping 

techniques. In a major change, on July 1, 1946, the 

topographic mapping facilities and commitments of the 

Alaskan Branch were transferred to the Topographic 

Branch. In October, the Alaskan Branch was dissolved as a 

major organizational unit and its geologic staff transferred

to the Geologic Branch. The Water Resources Branch had 

an almost complete change of management in 1946 with a 

new Chief Hydraulic Engineer, new chiefs of the Surface 

Water, Ground Water, and Quality of Water Divisions, and 

a great increase in the number and size of State-level district 

offices. Then on January 1, 1949, as the Survey approached 

its 70th birthday, its time-honored nomenclature for organizational units was changed to conform to usage in other 

parts of the Federal Government. The Branches became 

Divisions, the Sections became Branches, and the former 

Divisions lost any distinguishing title.

Science and the management of natural resources 

received increased attention in both the domestic and 

foreign policy of the administration. In September 1945, 

President Harry Truman, concerned about petroleum 

resources, claimed Federal authority over the Continental 

Shelf and provoked a legislative and judicial battle, eventually settled in 1953 when the coastal States were given 

authority over submerged lands to a maximum distance of 3 

geographical miles. In 1946, the Atomic Energy Commission and the Bureau of Land Management were established. 

In 1947, the President's Scientific Research Board called 

for an increase in annual expenditures for research and 

development and an increased emphasis on basic research. 

In his inaugural address in 1949, President Truman called 

for U.S. capital and technical assistance to underdeveloped 

areas of the world. In 1949, also, the Hoover Commission 

on the Reorganization of the Federal Government proposed 

a new role for the Department of the Interior in the 

development of subsoil and water resources, and the Senate 

and House held joint hearings in search of an improved 

policy for the conservation, development, and administration of the natural resources. In January 1950, the President 

appointed a Water Resources Policy Commission to recommend a comprehensive policy for water resources and 

related land-use development; in May 1950, the National 

Science Foundation was established and a new office, of the 

Assistant Secretary for Mineral Resources, was established 

in the Department of the Interior.

The scientific programs were expanded as increased 

funds became available. At first, Congress was amazed at 

the amounts the Survey requested in its first postwar 

budgets, and appropriations were far less than was 

requested, but transfers of funds from other Federal agencies, notably the Department of Defense, the Atomic 

Energy Commission, and the Bureau of Reclamation, 

together with cooperative funds from the States, made the 

total available about twice the appropriation. After the 

initial shock, Congress increased appropriations to more 

than $15 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1949, 

and more than $19 million for the fiscal year beginning July 

1, 1950.

By 1950, the Geological Survey began undertaking 

investigations in new areas to meet the demand for current 

information. Geologic mapping was needed in fast-growing

36 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
industrial areas to provide geologic data for the many types 

of engineering construction. The demand for construction 

of large dams to impound water for irrigation, power 

development, flood control, and industrial use focused 

attention on the need for information on the effect of 

waterless by evaporation and the limitation of the useful life 

of reservoirs by deposition of sediment as well as on stream 

flow and sediment load. The heavy drain on ground-water 

resources during the war had resulted in critical conditions 

in many areas; saltwater encroachment was a subject of 

special concern in some coastal areas. Efforts to upgrade the 

Nation's highways required hydrologic data and flood 

studies to aid highway drainage design. When funds were 

appropriated for technical assistance programs, Survey 

scientists and engineers took on assignments in the Eastern 

Hemisphere, and the Survey extended its in-service training 

program in geology and the administration of research 

organizations for promising young scientists of Latin American countries to scientists of the Eastern Hemisphere 

countries.

THE KOREAN WAR

In late June 1950, the uneasy peace that followed 

World War II was shattered by the outbreak of hostilities in 

Korea, and defense again became the underlying theme of 

national policy. The Geological Survey made an effort to 

continue the regular program, but of necessity the staffing 

of defense activities caused delays or interruptions in other 

programs. About three-fourths of the mineral-deposits 

investigations were focused on strategic minerals. The 

military geology program was expanded, as was the search 

for radioactive raw materials. The new program of urban 

geology was accelerated to aid in civil defense. In response 

to a request from the Army's Corps of Engineers, the 

topographic mapping program was expanded in an effort to 

complete mapping of about 600,000 square miles of strategic importance in 6 years. A unit newly established to 

investigate the quantity and quality of water required to 

produce various manufactured products began with an 

investigation of the needs of the steel industry. The Geological Survey was also given new responsibilities under the 

Defense Production Act of 1950, which provided for 

stockpiling of critical materials, including, for the Defense 

Minerals Administration, the evaluation of applications for 

loans and the preparation and enforcement of contracts for 

the loans. The Petroleum Administration for Defense called 

on the Survey to make a special geologic investigation of 

the newly discovered Scurry Reef in Texas to aid in 

planning its development. At the same time, activities in 

foreign geology increased in scope and tempo under the 

Mutual Security Act of 1951.

The Korean War heightened concern about long-term 

materials supply in a world that felt threatened by Soviet

expansionism. In January 1951, President Truman established a Presidential Commission to make an objective 

inquiry into the major aspects of the problem. The Survey 

furnished a full-time liaison and consultant and made 

studies of marginal ore reserves of several mineral commodities and of exploration and discovery practices for 

several important minerals for the Commission. The Commission in its report in June 1952 concluded that both the 

Government and private citizens must be involved in 

ensuring a long-term supply and that the effort should be 

carried on "not periodically at wide-spaced intervals, but 

day by day and year by year."

A cease-fire and armistice in Korea had been proposed in June 1951, 6 months after the Commission was 

appointed and a year before it issued its report, but the truce 

talks were stalemated for 2 years so there could be no 

complete return to peacetime conditions. When the armistice was finally concluded in the summer of 1953, a new 

Republican administration with a different perspective and 

the avowed purpose of reducing Government spending, 

balancing the budget, and reducing taxes had taken over in 

Washington. President Dwight Eisenhower called for a 

cooperative effort in resource development to "level off 

peaks and valleys" in the economy, but the Appropriations Committee concluded that the Interior Department 

should be concerned only with functions or activities that 

private enterprise could not or would not undertake. 

Progress in the development of a minerals policy was 

suspended.

THE SURVEY AT 75

For its 75th year, beginning July 1, 1954, the Survey 

had 7,000 employees, appropriated funds of $27,750,000, 

and total funds, including those from other Federal agencies 

and the States, of nearly $48.5 million. Its methods of work 

had changed markedly in the decade since the end of World 

War II. The Survey had been given responsibility by the 

Bureau of the Budget for the National Topographic Map 

Series of the United States and for exercising governmentwide leadership in coordinated planning and execution of 

mapping activities of the Federal Government. Although 

only 33 percent of the topographic mapping of the Nation 

met modem standards, the use of aerial photographs and 

photogrammetric methods for production of most topographic maps, the continuing development of more accurate 

instruments and methods, and the use of helicopters to 

transport topographic engineers to mountaintops and other 

remote spots to obtain survey control measurements 

resulted in a significant increase in the amount of mapping 

accomplished each year. Data on streamflow were being 

obtained at some 6,400 gaging stations, about 500 groundwater investigations were in progress, and the chemical 

quality of more than 85,000 samples of water was being

determined in Survey laboratories. In addition, studies of 

the water requirements of industry, of flood frequency and 

low flow, of sedimentation, and of flow in open channels 

and through constrictions were underway. Geologic mapping and mineral-resources investigations were still being 

carried on, but geologists were adapting photogrammetric 

methods to their mapping, making use of physics and 

chemistry in their studies, and applying modem statistical 

methods to problems of field geology. Geophysicists were 

keeping two aircraft busy making airborne magnetic and 

radioactivity surveys, chemists were devising faster and 

more accurate analytical methods, and the Survey acquired 

an electron microscope, a mass spectrometer, and an 

electronic computer. The Survey had responsibility for 

supervising more than 100,000 lessee operations on mining 

or oil-and-gas properties on public, acquired, or Indian 

lands and, since 1953, of oil-and-gas lease operations on the 

Outer Continental Shelf. Rent and royalty income from 

supervised operations was $73.5 million.

A NEW AGE BEGINS

In January 1956, after Director Wrather retired 

because of illness and age, Assistant Director Thomas B. 

Nolan became the Survey's seventh Director. During his 11 

years as Assistant Director, Nolan had many times and for 

extended periods served as Acting Director so no transition 

period was needed. Nolan believed that geologists, because 

of the unique requirements imposed on them by their 

science, should expand their fields of interest from individual problems and "participate actively and authoritatively in

Figure 38. Thomas Brennan Nolan, Director of the U.S. 

Geological Survey, 1956-1965.

the matters affecting the whole country." Until September 

1965, when he resumed his research in Great Basin geology, Nolan pushed, prodded, and led the Survey to a 

broadened and intensified commitment to basic research, to 

the advancement of geology in the public service, and to the 

prompt publication of Survey results. As Assistant Director, 

he had also served as the Interior Department representative 

on the Interdepartmental Committee on Scientific Research 

and Development, on the Scientific Advisory Committee on 

Specialized Personnel to the Selective Service Committee, 

and on the Advisory Board on Education of the National 

Academy of Sciences, and had been president of the Society 

of Economic Geologists. As Director, his professional 

responsibilities outside the Survey were still further 

extended to service as vice president and president of the 

Geological Society of America, as vice president of the 

International Union of Geological Sciences, and on committees advisory to university geology departments.

Science and technology by this time were helping the 

Nation to meet many of its increasing demands for raw 

materials through improved methods of exploration, the 

ability to exploit lower-grade sources, and the substitution 

of common for less common materials, but new dimensions 

were added to the problem. Overspecialized exploitation of 

mineral resources in some areas caused economic problems; 

competition for resources, where development of one pre38 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
Figure 39. Marine geologists preparing sampling buckets to study the sea floor, 1962.

eluded use of others, created resource-management problems; the increasing industrial development and urbanization were creating wastes that caused health hazards and 

heightened vulnerability to damage by natural geologic 

processes. The Geological Survey in turn added new 

dimensions to its own investigations. In 1956, the Geological Survey began an evaluation of the effects of underground nuclear explosions at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site; that program was expanded to 

study the geologic and hydrologic conditions affecting the 

peaceful uses of atomic energy and the disposal of radioactive wastes. Geochemical exploration techniques, developed to aid the search for mineral resources, were adapted 

to investigate subtle differences in the natural distribution of 

chemical elements that might have a bearing on public 

health. Studies of geologic processes led to measures to

protect the public from natural disasters; for example, 

research at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory not only 

provided new understanding of the formation of ore deposits but also aided in the prediction of volcanic eruptions.

On October 4, 1957, Soviet scientists, investigating 

upper atmosphere conditions as part of the International 

Geophysical Year program, launched a rocket-powered 

artificial satellite "Sputnik" into orbit, astonishing the world 

and ushering in a new era in the sciences. The United States 

joined the race to explore space by putting Explorer I into 

orbit on January 31, 1958, and Vanguard I on March 17, 

1958. In December 1958, Director Nolan, speaking at the 

meeting of the American Association for the Advancement 

of Science, remarked that the early work of the Geological 

Survey had been characterized by a transition from exploration of a geographical to an intellectual frontier, but

demands by younger scientists for studies of the geography 

of outer space might soon inaugurate a new cycle in the 

history of the Geological Survey. In 1959, the Survey 

compiled a photogeologic map of the Earth's satellite, the 

Moon, and began studies of tektites and impact craters. On 

May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy proposed as a 

goal "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely 

to earth" 35 before the end of the decade, and in 1963, the 

Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, began to train astronauts 

in geology and to investigate and evaluate methods and 

equipment for geological and geophysical exploration of the 

Moon.

Congress had by that time already expanded the 

Survey's Earth-bound investigations, to Antarctica and the 

Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in 1958, and to 

"outside the national domain" 36 in 1962. In 1962, the 

Geological Survey began a program of marine studies to 

identify and evaluate potential mineral resources on or 

beneath the sea floor and to aid in solving the problems 

caused by rapid population growth, urbanization, and 

industrial expansion in coastal areas. Both the Geologic and 

Water Resources Divisions modified their internal organizations to deal more effectively with multidisciplinary 

investigations and research.

Under the Kennedy-Johnson administration in the 

early 1960's, appropriations were increased significantly, 

and total funds available for the fiscal year beginning July 

1, 1964, for the first time exceeded $100 million, more than 

double the amount available just a decade earlier. In 1964, 

the Geological Survey again prepared a long-range plan for 

its future. Research functions were obviously not susceptible to a definite schedule, but some phases of the work, 

such as the topographic mapping of the Nation, were 

planned for orderly progression toward completion. Standard 7.5- and 15-minute quadrangle maps had been published for approximately 60 percent of the total area of the 

United States, and advance prints were available for another 

9 percent. The long-range plan called for completing the 

topographic maps of the United States and outlying areas in 

either 7.5- or 15-minute series by fiscal year 1976 and the 

7.5-minute series for all areas of the United States except 

Alaska by fiscal year 1981. Research would be continued in 

mapping systems and cartography, and the applications of 

electronic measuring systems and data-processing systems 

investigated. An increase of approximately 50 percent in the 

collection of basic water data was planned for the decade 

1964-1973, as well as the development and testing of 

digital recording equipment and processing of water data by 

automation by 1968. Generalized or detailed ground-water 

information would be available for 75 percent of the country 

and reconnaissance information for the remainder by the 

end of 1974. Research would be increased to approximately 

25 percent of the water-resources program. Research in 

economic geology, engineering geology, regional geology, 

and experimental geology would be doubled to meet the 

accelerating needs for resources and to provide the basic 

geologic data for urban expansion, engineering construction, and other purposes. The marine program would map 

and evaluate the composition, structure, and resources of 

the ocean floor and study geologic and hydrologic processes 

that operate within the oceans to understand better the 

conditions under which ancient sediments and ore deposits 

were formed. For the attainment of these goals, the Geological Survey recognized that the cooperative relations 

with States and other Federal agencies which it had long 

enjoyed were essential.

In 1964, however, new responsibilities were thrust 

upon the Geological Survey. One of the greatest earthquakes of all time struck south-central Alaska on March 27. 

Within a few hours, the Survey began a scientific and 

engineering study that extended through several field seasons and provided a very thorough documentation of a 

natural disaster. Survey geologists were also assigned to the 

Task Force of the Federal Reconstruction and Development 

Planning Commission and helped select sites for rebuilding 

the devastated area. In October 1965, following public 

release of a report by an Ad Hoc Panel of the President's 

Office of Science and Technology, the National Center for 

Earthquake Research was established in Menlo Park, Cali40 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989

Figure 41. A major earthquake in 1964, which destroyed 

this elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska, spurred 

efforts to predict earthquakes.

fornia, to provide a focus for research on the causes, 

mechanics, and effects of earthquakes and on the development of methods for predicting the time, location, and 

destructive effects of earthquakes to reduce the loss of life 

and property.

On August 28, 1964, the Bureau of the Budget gave 

the Department of the Interior responsibility, which the 

Department then delegated to the Geological Survey, for the 

design and operation of the national network for collection 

of water data so that water information needed for effective 

development and management of water resources would be 

collected in a timely, effective, and economical fashion, 

and would be readily accessible at a single focal point. The 

Geological Survey in turn established an Office of Water 

Data Coordination. The new organization of the Water 

Resources Division made it possible for the Division to deal 

more effectively with multidisciplinary hydrologic studies 

and research needed for better water-resources and environmental management. The Division had also instituted intensive programs in hydrologic training and aided in establishing curricula in hydrology in leading universities.

On September 3, 1964, Congress passed the Wilderness Act, by which 9.1 million acres of national forest lands 

were made part of the National Wilderness Preservation 

System to be safeguarded permanently against commercial 

use and construction of permanent roads and buildings. 

New mining claims and mineral leases would be allowed 

only until December 31, 1983. The Geological Survey and 

the Bureau of Mines were authorized to assess the mineral 

resources of each area proposed or established as wilderness

if no prior mineral survey had been made, and a new 

program of geologic mapping and mineral-resource assessment was begun.

In June 1964, President Lyndon Johnson, in proclaiming U.S. participation in the International Cooperation 

Year, said "I propose to dedicate this year to finding new 

techniques for making man's knowledge serve man's welfare. Let this be the year of science." 37 In January 1965, he 

proposed a vast program to build a "Great Society," which 

he assumed could be financed without additional taxation. 

Among the measures passed by Congress in 1965 were such 

conservation measures as the Water Quality, Highway 

Beautification, Clean Air, and Solid Waste Disposal Acts. 

In the spring of 1965, however, the United States began to 

increase its commitment to support the anti-Communist 

regime in Vietnam, begun in the Eisenhower administration, and in his budget message in January 1966, President 

Johnson acknowledged that the appropriation of funds for 

increased commitments in Vietnam would hinder domestic 

programs.

In late September 1965, Chief Geologist William T. 

Pecora succeeded Thomas B. Nolan as Director. Pecora, 

who received his bachelor's degree from Princeton in 1933 

and his doctorate from Harvard in 1940, joined the Geological Survey in 1939. For several years, he investigated 

strategic-mineral deposits in the United States and Latin

Figure 42. William Thomas Pecora, Director of the U.S. 

Geological Survey, 1965-1971.

A New Age Begins 41
America and then engaged in a long-range study of rare 

mineral deposits in volcanic rocks and carbonatite complexes in Montana. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1965. He had also had administrative 

experience as Chairman of the Civil Service Board of 

Examiners and Chief of the Geochemistry and Petrology 

Branch before becoming Chief Geologist. Pecora was 

Director for only a few years; in April 1971, he left the 

Geological Survey to become Under Secretary of the 

Interior.

The late 1960's were troubled times in the United 

States, marked by student unrest, racial demonstrations, 

racial violence, and increasing opposition to the war in 

Vietnam. Survey appropriations were not decreased, but the 

rate of increase was considerably less than it had been. 

Pecora's administration became an interesting blend of old 

and new problems and solutions. The Geological Survey 

had been established in an era of monetary uncertainty, in 

its first year it had concentrated on a study of some of the 

great precious-metal mining districts, and it had responded 

to other monetary crises in the 1890's and 1930's. In 1965, 

the U.S. gold stock, which had been steadily declining 

since 1949 despite government efforts to stem the deficit in 

balance of payments, was a matter of concern. In April 

1966, the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines 

began a joint program to stimulate domestic production of a 

group of metals that were in short supply, about 90 percent 

of the program effort at the start being on gold because of its 

international monetary importance. On the basis of the 

Geological Survey mapping, a mining company located by 

drilling a major gold mine, the first major gold discovery 

for several decades. Another major project in the Survey's 

first year had been a study of the iron-ore resources of the 

United States. In the early 1900's, it had begun studies of 

western iron ores in an effort to meet industrial demands. 

After World Wars I and II there had been major studies of 

iron districts, and in the late 1960's, appraisals of the 

iron-ore resources of the United States were again prepared, 

this time for inclusion in a United Nations survey of the 

world's iron-ore resources.

Sixty years earlier, the Geological Survey had made 

its first appraisal of the petroleum resources of the Nation. 

Periods of oil shortages and oil gluts had followed, but 

World War II had seriously depleted domestic petroleum 

resources. The continuing concern over energy resources 

gave rise to a study of world resources of oil, gas, 

natural-gas liquids, oil shale, and coal. In the ongoing 

search for domestic resources, new sources were discovered, but their exploitation was not simple. In 1968, for 

example, a giant oil field was found in Alaska's Arctic 

Slope, near where the Survey had first made reconnaissance 

studies in 1923. The oil would help ease impending 

shortages but transportation of that oil, whether by tanker or 

pipeline, posed the possibility of damage to the environment. More than 100 billion tons of coal were estimated to

be potentially recoverable by open-pit mining techniques, 

but plans had to be developed to restore and utilize the 

strip-mined lands. About 1.8 million acres of land in the 

Western States were classified as potential sources of 

geothermal energy, but a new industry would be required to 

exploit them. At the same time, new studies and investigations in space, under the sea, and on land were expanded.

The space program was centered in the Astrogeologic 

Laboratory established in October 1965 in Flagstaff, Arizona. In July 1969, two astronauts, trained by the Survey, 

walked on the Moon as the program called for by President 

Kennedy in 1961 met his objective of landing men on the 

Moon before the end of the decade. A Survey geologist 

turned astronaut also walked on the Moon in one of the later 

missions. Director Pecora took a personal interest in a 

program aimed at gathering facts about the Earth's 

resources from orbiting satellites carrying sophisticated 

remote-sensing instruments, and the Geological Survey was 

given direction and management of an Interior Department 

program to achieve this goal.

The marine program led to a report on resources of 

the sea beyond the Continental Shelf, summarizing the 

potential and known mineral resources and the technology 

for their exploration and exploitation, presented to the U.S. 

Economic and Social Council in 1968.

In January 1969, as the Nixon administration took 

office, oil leaking from a well on a Federal Outer Continental Shelf lease in the Santa Barbara Channel off California blackened nearby beaches and threatened marine life. 

Studies by a task force including Survey geologists and 

engineers led to new and more stringent operating regulations to prevent or control such incidents in the future. The 

Santa Barbara oil spill was a catalyst in the passage of the 

National Environmental Protection Act in January 1970.

In 1970, the Geological Survey published the 

"National Atlas of the United States of America," a reference tool comprising more than 700 physical, historical, 

economic, sociocultural, and administrative maps compiled 

through the combined efforts of more than 80 Federal 

agencies and a score of specialists and consultants over a 

period of several years. In cooperation with the Department 

of Housing and Urban Development, the Survey began a 

pilot study in the San Francisco Bay region of the application of geology, geophysics, hydrology, and topography in 

improving regional urban planning and decisionmaking. 

The Survey also played a major role in representing the 

United States at meetings of the United Nations Committee 

on the Peaceful Uses of the Seabeds and Ocean Floors 

Beyond the Limits of National Jurisdiction.

In 1971, after Pecora became Under Secretary of the 

Interior, Chief Geologist Vincent E. McKelvey, a career 

scientist with the Survey since 1941, became Director. 

McKelvey, a graduate of Syracuse University with a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin, had served in 

several research and administrative capacities in the Geo42 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989
Figure 43. An oil spill off Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 was a catalyst in the passage of the Environmental Protection 

Act of 1970.

logical Survey. He was internationally known for his 

studies of phosphates, had headed the Survey's program of 

exploration and research for the Atomic Energy Commission for several years, had been deeply involved in sometimes controversial estimates of long-range energy and 

mineral-resource needs, and had most recently been 

engaged in studies of seabed resources.

In the year that McKelvey became Director, the 

Geological Survey had an operating budget of $173 million 

and 9,200 employees. Investigations and mapping were 

underway in all 50 States, Antarctica, and the Trust 

Territories, and technical-assistance programs were being 

carried out in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Great 

strides had been made toward accomplishing the goals set 

forth in 1964. General-purpose topographic maps were 

available for 84 percent of the total area of the 50 States, 

Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American 

Samoa. Streamflow data were being collected at more than

11,000 gaging stations, water quality was being measured 

at 4,000 stations, and several hundred ground-water investigations were underway. Mineral production from lands 

supervised by the Survey was valued at more than $3 

billion, and annual royalties were approaching $0.5 billion. 

McKelvey's term as Director was marked by an 

increase in multidisciplinary studies and in the diversity and 

complexity of Geological Survey operations, as well as an 

increased effort to make scientific information acquired 

through years of research available in a form most easily 

used in the solution of such contemporary problems. The 

pilot study of the San Francisco Bay region was followed by 

several similar studies of other urban areas. The marine 

program assumed new significance, for many regions of the 

oceans were less well known than the surfaces of the 

planets. Subsea mineral deposits might be resources for the 

future, but an understanding of the behavior of marine 

geologic processes was also of importance if people were to

Geological Survey, 1971-1978.

live and build along coasts and out into the sea. The 

marine-geology investigations included oil-and-gas resource 

appraisal, environmental investigations assessing the potential impacts of geologic hazards on the development of 

offshore oil and gas resources, geochemical studies of 

deep-sea deposits and engineering studies of deep-sea 

sediments, and the development of deep-ocean remotesensing instruments. Major efforts were made to delineate 

the hazards associated with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, mudflows, ground subsidence, and 

floods, and advances were made toward a capability of 

predicting some of these disasters.

Planetary studies were extended to Mars and other 

planets. A program to map the geology of Mars systematically, managed by the Geological Survey but involving 

both Survey and university geologists, was formalized with 

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 

1971. A shaded-relief map of Mars was published in 1973, 

and by the time two Viking spacecraft landed on the surface 

of Mars in the summer of 1976, at sites selected by 

scientists at the Survey's Flagstaff, Arizona, office, the 

Survey had prepared more than 100 maps of Mars, Mercury, Venus, and the Moon in support of space exploration.

The first Earth Resources Technology Satellite 

(ERTS-1, now Landsat-1) was launched in July 1972,

beginning a new era in the acquisition and management of 

data. The Geological Survey established a data center at 

Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to handle distribution of satellite 

and other remotely sensed data. Investigations of the 

applicability of the data to geologic, hydrologic, geographic, and cartographic studies were begun.

In 1973, the Geological Survey moved its National 

Headquarters from downtown Washington to a new building designed expressly for its needs in Reston, Virginia. It 

took on primary responsibility for operational research in 

seismology and geomagnetism by agreement with the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and 10 

units of NOAA were transferred to the Geological Survey. 

It also began a Land Resource Analysis program in response 

to the need for earth-science data in land-use planning and 

resource management, primarily of nonurban areas not yet 

critically affected by growth and development but which 

existing trends indicated were in danger of being seriously 

impacted in the future.

The long-anticipated energy crisis developed after the 

Arab-Israeli War in October 1973, when Arab nations 

embargoed oil shipments to the United States. On November 7, 1973, President Richard Nixon announced measures 

to address the energy crisis, including increased production 

from naval oil reserves, approval of the Alaska pipeline, 

and greater energy research and development efforts 

designed to make the United States self-sufficient in energy 

resources by 1980. In 1974, Congress directed the Geological Survey to provide a schedule and objectives for 

inventorying geothermal energy resources.

In 1974, the National Topographic Mapping Program 

became the National Mapping Program to meet the increasing demand for basic cartographic data in all forms including digital cartographic data. The National Cartographic 

Information Center was established to provide a focal point 

for information on U.S. maps and charts, aerial photographs and space imagery, geodetic control, and related 

cartographic data. The Geological Survey and the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agreed on a 

program to produce topographic-bathymetric editions of the 

1:250,000-scale maps for the coastal zones of the United 

States, including those of the Great Lakes.

In April 1975, the Land Information and Analysis 

Office was established to consolidate several multidisciplinary land-resource and environmental programs. One of 

its main objectives was to interpret and display landresource information collected within the Department of the 

Interior in ways that were readily accessible and understandable to a wide range of users.

In 1976, Congress transferred jurisdiction of the 

Petroleum Reserve in Alaska from the Department of the 

Navy to the Department of the Interior, effective June 1, 

1977. Responsibility for administration of the continuing 

petroleum exploration program on the Reserve and operation of the South Barrow Gas Field was delegated to the

Director of the Survey. The new activity brought with it a 

50-percent increase in funds, but most of the increase was 

for contractual services.

In 1977, Congress directed the Survey to establish a 

national water-use information program. It became part of 

the Federal-State cooperative program and by the late 

1980's, 49 States and Puerto Rico were participating in it.

In September 1977, Secretary of the Interior Cecil 

Andrus announced that he had accepted McKelvey's resignation as Director but that McKelvey would remain with the 

Survey as a research scientist. In April 1978, H. William 

Menard became the Survey's tenth Director but remained 

only through the balance of the Carter administration. 

Menard, who had graduated from the California Institute of 

Technology in 1942 and received a doctorate from Harvard 

in 1949, had been a marine geologist with the Naval 

Electronics Laboratory in San Diego for several years and 

then had become a member of the faculty of the Scripps

Institution of Oceanography. In 1965-66, he was associated 

with the Office of Science and Technology in the White 

House. A member of the National Academy of Sciences, 

Menard was a recognized worldwide authority in marine 

geology and oceanography and had discovered notable 

topographic and structural features of the sea floor that laid 

much of the foundation of the plate-tectonics revolution in 

geology.

THE SURVEY AT 100

For Menard's first full fiscal year in office, a year that 

included the centennial of the establishment of the U.S. 

Geological Survey, the Survey's appropriation was about 

$640 million, augmented to 3.7 times the appropriation for 

the fiscal year 1972 for contractual services in connection 

with the operation of the National Petroleum Reserve and

by the persistent inflation of the 1970's. The total funds 

available were about $765 million. The Survey staff numbered more than 12,000 scientists, engineers, technicians, 

and administrative and support personnel, about threefourths of them full-time employees.

The 100th anniversary of the establishment of the 

Survey, one of only a very few Federal agencies to survive 

for 100 years with its original name and mission unchanged, 

was celebrated in ceremonies at the National Center and 

other major facilities on March 2 and 3, an international 

symposium in the fall of 1979 on resources for the 21st 

century, in symposia or technical sessions at meetings of the 

Geological Society of America, the American Association 

for the Advancement of Science, the American Chemical 

Society, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the National Academy of Sciences, the American 

Congress on Surveying and Mapping, and the American 

Society of Photogrammetry, and in articles in newspapers 

and magazines. The Survey itself issued two special publications~"Maps for America," covering the cartographic 

products of the Survey and other agencies, and "Minerals, 

Lands, and Geology for the Common Defence and General 

Welfare * * * Before 1879," the first of several volumes on

the history of geology in relation to the development of 

public-land, Federal-science, and mapping policies and the 

development of mineral resources in the United States.

INTO THE SECOND CENTURY

Advanced age did not bring about any diminution of 

activity and change in the Survey, but rather the reverse. 

The truth of Director Walcott's statement in 1900, "Every 

investigation undertaken to solve some geologic problem, 

whether it prove successful or not, is sure to develop other 

problems, and the geologic Alexander will never lack 

worlds to conquer," 38 was never more evident. The Survey's 101st year was marked by the largest earthquake in 

California in 25 years and the disastrous volcanic explosion 

of Mount St. Helens. In both areas, geologic-hazards 

investigations had previously been underway.

The earthquake, on the Imperial fault near the international boundary between the United States and Mexico, 

on October 18, 1979, caused $30 million in damage and 

generated the most comprehensive set of data on ground

shaking and structural response recorded from a damaging 

earthquake anywhere in the world. The region had been 

under intensive study by scientists and engineers of the 

Geological Survey and other institutions because of the 

frequent seismic activity and the possibility of a repetition 

of the Imperial Valley earthquake in 1940, and the shock 

was thus the first damaging earthquake in California's 

history for which the actual surface rupture zones had been 

defined by careful mapping before the event.

The eruption at Mount St. Helens, in the Cascade 

Range of Washington, on May 18, 1980, removed about 

1,300 feet of the mountaintop and filled the valley of the 

North Fork Toutle River with a massive debris avalanche 

for a distance of about 17 miles downstream. Survey 

geologists had pointed out in 1978 that Mount St. Helens, 

which had a long history of spasmodic explosive activity, 

would probably erupt violently in the future and that such 

eruptions would "affect human life and health, property, 

agriculture, and general economic welfare over a broad 

area." 39 An earthquake on March 20, 1980, immediately 

northwest of the summit, followed by a swarm of earthquakes directly beneath the volcano, was recognized as 

possible symptoms of an impending eruption by University 

of Washington scientists working in cooperation with the 

Survey in a study of the geothermal potential of the region. 

The Geologic and Water Resources Divisions began collecting and assessing data and, with the Office of Earth 

Science Applications, determined that the possibility of an 

eruption was great enough to issue a hazard warning. On 

March 27, the Geological Survey issued a Hazards Watch 

summarizing the potential hazards from an eruption. That 

same day, the volcano began to erupt steam and ash. On 

April 3, and again on April 30, the Survey updated its 

Hazards Watch, and the Governor of the State established 

two "hazard zones" into which access was limited. Loss of 

life on May 18 was thus minimized. Following the first 

eruption, the Geologic and Water Resources Divisions 

continued monitoring the volcano, and the National Mapping Division, which had compiled special maps to record 

preemption changes, prepared several new special maps to 

aid general planning by scientists, land managers, lawenforcement officers, and emergency support personnel in 

the devastated area and for recording scientific and resource 

data.

Several changes in the Geological Survey's organization were made in fiscal year 1980. In the Office of the 

Director, the Land Information and Analysis Office was 

renamed the Office of Earth Science Applications, given 

more specific responsibilities to coordinate multidisciplinary multidivision programs, and strengthened by the 

transfer of some elements of the former Publications Division. The National Mapping Division was formed from the

Into the Second Century 47

Topographic Division, parts of the Publications Division, 

and the Geography Program of the former Land Information 

and Analysis Office. The organization of the Conservation 

Division was modified to separate onshore from offshore 

program management, increase the number of geographic 

service areas, and separate royalty management from field

operations.

In January 1981, as the Reagan administration took 

office, H. William Menard submitted his resignation in 

order to return to research at the Scripps Institution of 

Oceanography in California. On September 30, 1981, 

Dallas L. Peck was sworn in as the eleventh Director of the 

Geological Survey. Peck, like Menard, was a graduate of 

the California Institute of Technology, in 1951, and had 

received his doctorate from Harvard, in 1960. He had spent 

his entire professional career with the Geological Survey, 

starting as a field assistant in 1951. Peck had been a 

research geologist at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory 

and had made extensive petrologic studies in the Sierra

Nevada, but for 4 years before becoming Director he had 

been the Survey's Chief Geologist.

The new administration came to Washington with a 

promise to increase private access to Federal lands for 

mineral and energy development, reduce the regulatory role 

of the Federal Government, accelerate and expand domestic 

energy and mineral production, and in general to reduce 

funding and staffing of Federal activities other than those 

related to national defense and a few other specified areas. 

For the Geological Survey, there were new responsibilities 

to replace or merge with ongoing responsibilities. In 

Alaska, the oil-and-gas assessment program in the National 

Petroleum Reserve was phased out, but the Alaska Mineral 

Resources Assessment Program was continued and 

expanded under the terms of the Alaska National Interest 

Lands Conservation Act of December 2, 1980.

In January 1982, part of the Survey staff and operating budget were once again split off from the Survey as 

Secretary of the Interior James Watt announced the formation of the Minerals Management Service. The Conserva48 The United States Geological Survey: 1879-1989

tion Division and part of the marine geology program, some 

23 percent of the personnel and 29 percent of the operating 

budget of the Geological Survey, were reassigned to the 

new agency, and the Survey reverted to its initial responsibilities to classify the public lands, and examine the 

geologic structure, mineral resources, and products of the 

national domain as they had developed in the years since 

1879. These were organized in three major programs: the 

evaluation of the Nation's geologic structure and the geologic processes that have shaped it, the assessment of its 

mineral and energy resources, and the identification and 

investigation of geologic hazards; the conduct of the 

National Mapping Program, involving the collection of 

cartographic, geographic, and remotely sensed data and 

production of maps and related cartographic information in 

graphic and digital form; and the provision of the hydrologic information and understanding needed by others to 

achieve the best use and management of the Nation's water 

resources.

New challenges were not long in forthcoming. On 

March 10, 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed an 

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extended jurisdiction of the United States for a distance of 200 nautical miles 

seaward of the Nation's shorelines and thereby more than 

doubled the area of the national domain to be mapped and

within which mineral and energy resources must be 

assessed. EEZ-SCAN, a reconnaissance survey that uses 

long-range side-scan sonar to map the 3 million square 

nautical miles in the zone, began in 1984. The initial atlas 

of computer-enhanced mosaics, covering the Western Conterminous U.S. portion of the EEZ at a scale of 1:500,000, 

was published with preliminary geological interpretations 

and bathymetry in 1986. Other studies provided geologic 

information on the nature, extent, and cause of coastal 

erosion for use by various Federal and State agencies in 

mitigating coastal retreat and land loss.

The National Mapping Division continued the quiet 

revolution in mapping. The development and application of 

advanced cartographic techniques and systems to geographic information systems was continued, a National 

Digital Cartographic Data Base was established, and standards of digital cartographic data were developed for the 

U.S. mapping community. Primary map coverage for the 

United States was 97 percent complete in early 1989. In 

1988, in cooperation with the Bureau of the Census, the 

Division completed a l:100,000-scale digital data base of 

the transportation and hydrology features of the conterminous United States, which the Bureau of the Census will use 

to generate more than 500,000 different maps needed to 

take the 1990 census and which will also be used for many 

other applications. A major new program was begun in 

close cooperation with the Defense Mapping Agency to 

develop, install, and operate new mapping technology using 

automated computer methods, the goal being to have data 

for all maps in digitized form so that the maps can be 

updated easily and graphic products printed on demand. 

The National Mapping Division was also responsible for all 

functions that relate to domestic geographic names, and 

continued to compile, publish, and maintain the "National 

Gazetteer of the United States of America" and to manage 

the National Geographic Names Data Base.

Early in 1984, the Water Resources Division published the first "National Water Summary," the product of 

the national water-use information program, describing 

hydrologic events and water conditions for the water year, 

providing a State-by-State overview of specific waterrelated issues, and identifying ground-water contamination 

and acid rain as two pressing water-resources issues. To 

improve the scientific understanding of acid rain, the 

Geological Survey began a study of the effects of acid 

deposition on lakes, streams, and aquifers as part of a 

program coordinated through the Interagency Task Force on 

Acid Precipitation.

Also published in 1984 were the first six studies of 

major regional aquifer systems, begun in response to the 

intense droughts in the late 1970's, to assess the dischargerecharge dynamics, hydrogeologic and chemical controls 

governing response of aquifer systems to stress, and to 

develop computer simulation models. Congress authorized

the Bureau of Reclamation to establish demonstration 

projects for ground-water recharge of aquifers in the High 

Plains States.

The disposal and release of hazardous chemical and 

radioactive wastes and ground-water contamination problems were also under investigation to provide data to help 

alleviate their effects on the Nation's water resources, some 

of them to assist the Department of Energy in developing 

procedures and guidelines for identifying suitable waste 

disposal sites.

Now several years into its second century, the Geological Survey continues to fulfill its original mission of 

classification of the public lands and examination of the 

geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the 

national domain. It continues to conduct research both on 

the cutting edge of science and with reference to economic 

and other issues of national concern, to develop and apply 

innovative means of solving problems in resource management. It looks forward to a continuing challenge to advance 

the earth sciences in the service of the public.
