Compiled by B. D. WooD. 

INTRODUCTION. 

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large partof measurements of the volume of 

fl.ow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

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

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

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, and annual reports. 

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries 

coincide with natural drainage features as indicated below: 

Part I. North Atlantic basins. 

II. South Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins. 

III. Ohio River basin. 

IV. St. Lawrence River basin. 

V. Upper Mississippi River and Hudson Bay basins. 

VI. Missouri River basin. 

VII. Lower Mississippi River basin. 

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins. 

IX. Colorado River basin. 

X. Great Basin. 

XI. Pacific basins in California .. 

XII. North Pacific basins.

NbTE.-No data regarding stream flow are given in the 15th and 17th annual reports. 

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports 

extend over a series of years, and miscellaneous· measurements at 

many points other than regular gaging stations have been made 

each year. An index of the reports containing records obtained 

prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119. 

The table whi.ch foJlows gives, by years and drainage basins, the 

numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 

to 1912. The data for any particular station will in general be found 

in the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data for Machias River at Whitneyville, Me., 

1903 to 1913, are published in Water-Supply Papers 97, 124, 165, 201, 

241, 261, 281, 301, 321, and 351, which contain records for the New 

England streams from 1903 to 1913. Results of miscellaneous 

measurements are published by drainage basins.

STREAM-FLOW REPORTS. vn 

In these papers and in the following lists the stations are arranged 

in down.Stream order. The main stem of any river is determined 

by mea.Su.ring or estimating its drainage area-that is, the headwate)," 

stream having the largest drainage area is considered the continuation of the main stream, and local changes in name and lake surface 

are disregarded. .All stations from the source to the mouth of the 

main stem of the river are presented first, and the tributaries in· 

regular order from source to mouth follow, the streams in each 

tributary basin being listed before those of the next basin below. 

· The exceptions to this rule occur in. the. records for Mississippi 

River, which are given in four parts, as indicated on page m, .and 

in the records for large lakes, where it is simpler to take up the streams 

in regular order around the. rim of the lake than to cross back and 

forth over the lake surface. 

PART X. THE GREAT BASIN. 

PRINCIPAL DIVISIONS. 

The Great Basin is made up of a number of minor basins whose 

streams do not discharge into the ocean .. The largest of these minor 

basins are the depressions that hold Great Salt Lake, Sevier Lake, 

Humboldt Sink, Truckee, Walker, Carson, and Owens rivers, and 

Honey, Mono, Malheur, Harney, Warner, Abert, Summer, and 

Silver lakes. The streams of this section drain wholly or in part the 

States of California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. 

In addition.to the list of gaging stations and the annotated list of 

publications relating specifically to the section, these pages contain a 

similar list of reports that are of general interest in many sections and 

cover a wide range of hydrologic subjects, and also brief references to 

reports published by State and other organizations. (Seep. 129.)

GEOLOGIC FOLIOS. 

Under the plan adopted for the preparation of a geologic map of the United States 

the entire area is divided into small quadrangles, bounded by certain meridians and 

parallels, and these quadrangles, which number several thousand, are separately 

surveyed and mapped. The unit of survey is also the unit of publication, and the 

maps and description of each quadrangle are issued in the form of a folio. When all 

the folios are completed they will constitute a Geologic Atlas of the United States. 

A folio is designated by the na~e of the principal town or of a prominent natural 

feature within the quadrangle. Each folio includes maps showing the topography, 

geology, underground structure, and mineral deposits ofthe area mapped and several 

pages of descriptive text. The text explains the maps and describes the topographic 

and geologic features of the country and its mineral products. The topographic map 

shows roads, railroads, waterways, and, by contour lines, the shapes of the hills and 

valleys and the height above sea level of all points in the quadrangle. The arealgeology map shows the distribution of the various rocks at the surface. The structuralgeology map shows the relations of the rocks to one another underground. The economic-geology map indicates the location of mineral deposits that are commercially 

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

Economic-geology and artesian-water maps are included in folios if the conditions in 

the areas mapped warrant their publication. The folios are of special interest to 

students of geography and geology and are valuable as guides in the development and 

utilization of mineral resources. 

The folios numbered from 1 to 163, inclusive, are published in only one form (18 by 

22 inches), called the library edition. Some of the folios that bear numbers higher 

than 163 are published also in an octavo edition (6 by 9 inches). Owing to a fire in 

the Geoiogical Survey building May 18, 1913, tb.e stock of geologic folios was more 

or less damaged by fire and water, but 80 or 90 per cent of the folios are usable. They 

will be sold at the uniform price of 5 cents each, with no reduction for wholesale 

orders. This rate applies to folios in stock from 1 to 184, inclusive, also to the library 

editipn of folio 186. The library edition of folios 185, 187, and higher numbers sell 

fm; 25 cents a copy, except that some folios which contain an unusually large amount 
THE GR.EAT BASIN. 129 

of matter sellfor 50 cents a copy. The octavo edition of folio 185 and higher numbers 

sell for 50 cents a copy. If 34 folios selling at 25 cents each (or their equivalent in 

higher-prked foliQB) are ordered at one time a-discount of 40 per cent is allowed; $5.10 

is the minimum amount accepted at this rate. 

All the folios contain descriptions of the drainage of the quadrangles. The folios in 

the following list contain also brief discussions of the underground waters in connection with the economic resources of the areas and more or less information concerning 

the utilization of the water resources. · 

39. Truckee folio, California. 

Describes the general and economic geology of _an area extending westward and northward 

from Truckee Lake, drained by streams a part of which flow through Yuba and American 

rivers to the Sacramento, and part through Lake 'fahoe to the Great Basin; discusses the topo~ 

raphy and geology, and .under ''Economic geology" the mineral springs which occur abundantly 

throughout the area.
