Compiled by B. D. WooD. 

INTRODUCTION. 

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of me\],surements of the volume of 

flow 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, monographs, professi.:mal 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 slope basins. 

II. South Atlantic slope 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 slope basins in California. 

XII. North Pacific slope basins .

a In preparation. 

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports 

extend over a series of years, and !fiiscellaneous 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 following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers 

of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 1913. 

The data for any particular station will, as a rule, 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. VII 

In these papers and in the following lists the stat10ns are arranged 

in downstream order. The main stem of any river is determined 

by measuring or estimating its drainage area-that is, the headwater 

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 th~ 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 

fitreams in regular order around the rjm of the lake than to cross 

back and forth over the lake surface.

PART XII. NORTH PACIFIC SLQPE DRAINAGE BASINS. 

PRINCIPAL STREAMS. 

The largest rivers discharging into! the Pacific Ocean in Oregon 

and Washington are Rogue, Umpq~a, and Columbia rivers and 

!'treams that reach the ocean through i Puget Sound. The principal 

tributaries of the Columbia are Cl!l!~k Fork, . Kootenai, Spokane, 

Wenatchee, Yakima, Snake, Bruneau, :Boise, Walla Walla, Umatilla, 

John Day, Deschutes, Hood, and Willamette rivers. Nisqually, 

Puyallup, White, Snoqualmie, and $kagit rivers flow into Puget 

Sound. The streams of this division drain wholly or in part the 

States of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and 

Wyoming. I 

II} addition to, the list of gaging stations and the annotated list· of 

publications relating specifically to the section, these pages contain· 

:1 similar list of reports that are of ge:p.eral interest in many sections 

and cover a wide range of hydrologic: subjects, and also brief references to reports published by State and other organizations.

given were selected because they afford valuable stratigraphic information. 

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 name 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 of the area 

mapped and several pages of deseriptive 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 areal-geology map shows the distribution 

of the various rocks at the surface. The structural-geology 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 

1 Index maps showing areas in. the North Pacific slope basins covered by topographic 

maps and by geologic folios will be mailed on receipt of request addressed to the Director, 

U. S. Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. ·

artesian-water map shows the depth to underground-water horizons. Economicgeology and artesimi-watfr 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 artd geology 'and are valuable as guides in the development and utilization of nhneral resources. 

The folios numbered from 1 to 163, inc1usive, are published in only one form 

(18 by 22 inches), called the library edition. Some of the folios that bear numbers higher than 163 ard published also in an octavo edition (6 by 9 inches). 

Owing to a fire in the qeological Survey building May 18, 1913, the stock .of 

geologic folios was more: or less damaged by fire and water, but 80 or 90 per 

cent of the foli(ls are usaple. They will be sold at the uniform price of 5 cents 

each, with no reduction 1 for wholesale orders. This rate applies to folios in 

stock from 1 to 184, in~lusive (except reprints), also the library edition of 

folio 186. The library ed~tion of folios 185, 187, and higher numbers sells for 25 

cents a copy, except that: some folios which contain an unusually large amount 

of matter sell at higher' prices. The octavo edition of folio 185 and higher 

numbers sells for 50 cents a copy except folio 193, which sells. for 75 cents a 

copy. If 34 folios selling at 25 cents each (or their equivalent in higher-priced 

folios) are ordered at or).e time a discount of. 40 per cent is allowed; $5.10 is 

the minimum amount ac¢epted at this rate. · 

All the folios contain liescriptions 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 ~reas and more or less 

information concerning t~e utilization of the water resources.
