INTRODUCTION 

. This circular contains a complete list of all the preliminary maps . and reports issued by the Geologic Division and the Conservation Division 

of the U.S. Geological Survey during the period between January 1, 1948, 

and January 1, 1949. · . 

The reports and maps of the Geologic Division contain results of 

.work accomplished by Survey geologists in 27 states, Alaska, Bikini, 

Hawaii, Puerto Rico! and a few 'Western Pacific Islands. These maps and 

reports are releasea in preliminary form in order to make available immediately information to property owners and mine operators concerned 

with exploration for and production of minerals, fuels, and construction 

materials. 

The reports and maps of the Conservation Division concern the 

production history, the geology, or the topography of Federally owned or 

controlled lands with regard to water power, oil, and gas; these cover 

areas studied and mapped by geologists and engineers in 10 states and 

Alaska.· 

Most of the maps were duplicated by rapid and inexpensive processes such as photostat, van dyke, and ozalid, but some were duplicated by the 

more expensive photolith or multilith processes. Most of these maps and 

reports released for public distribution were prepared in limited editions 

only; some of these are by now out of print. Those still available may be 

obtained from the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington.25, D.C., 

at the listed price, or without charge if no .price is given. 

Maps not available for public distribution were placed in open files 

in various Geological Survey offices, offfces of other government agencie_s, 

and offices of State geological surveys where tqey may be inspected by 

any interested persons. Names and addresse~ of these offices are listed 

in the column headed "Remarks." Ma.ps in open file are listed in this 

compilation under "Remarks"; maps for general distribution are listed in 

the column headed "Maps distributed". 

The material is arranged alphabetically,.first by commodity, second 

by location, and third by date of press release.
