INTRODUCTION 

This pamphlet contains a complete list· of all the prelim- inary maps and reports issued by the Geologic Division of the 

u. s. Geological Survey during the period between January l, 

1946, and January 1, 1948, and by the Conservation Division 

between January l, 1938, and January l, 1948. 

Some of the reports of Survey work in the United States, 

Alaska, and Mexico are included in the compilation of Geologic Division material. These reports were released in preliminary form to avoid the delays necessarily attendant upon fo~l pub- ll~ation, and to make the information more promptly available 

to p'roperty owners and mine operators concerned ~'lith explo- ration for and production of minerals, fuels, and construction 

materials. 

The addendum covers releases from the Conservation Division and contains some of the results of work done by Conservation geologists and engineers in 12 states and AlaskaJ 

commodities included are coal, gas, oil, ~tash, wate~ and 

water power. 

ftost or the maps were duplicated by_rapid and inexpensive 

processes such as ozalid, van dyke, and photostat, but some· were duplicated by more expensive multilith or photolitb 

processes. Most of the maps and reports released for public distribution were prepared in limited editions only; some ot 

them are now out of print. Those still available may be obtained at the listed price from the Director of the U. S. 

Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C., or at the addresses 

listed in the column headed "Remarks". It no price is given, the maps and reports are free. 

ftaps and reports not prepared tor general distribution were placed in open files in various Geological Survey ottioe1, 

offices ot other government agencies, and offices ot State 

geological agencies, wnose addresses are given in the column 

headed "Remarks". The contents of these files may be inspected-by those interested. 

Maps in open files are listed in this pamphlet under ~emarks 11 , and maps for general distribution are listed under 

"Maps distributed". 

The material is arranged alphabe~ically, first by com- modity, and second by location.
