STREAM-GAGING STATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS 

RELATING TO WATER RESOURCES. 1885-1913. 

Compiled by B. D. WooD. 

INTRODUCTION. 

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements 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, ~ater 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,~professio.nal papers, monographs, and 

annual reports. 

The results of stream-flo 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. j II. South Atlantic and east rn 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 Rive1 basin. 

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins. 

IX. Colorado River basin. 

X. Great Basin. 

XI. Pacific basins in California. 

XII. North Pacific basins.

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 1i9 .. 

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, in general, be found 

in the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained or in special reports. 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 RECORDS. . vn 

In these papers and in the following lists. the stat!ons are arranged 

fu downstream order. The inain 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 ehanges 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 un 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. 

PAnT XI.-P ACIFIC COAST BASINS IN CALIFORNIA. 

PRINCIPAL STREAMS. 

The rivers draining into the Pacific Ocean from California include 

Tia Juana, Sweetwater, San Diego, Bernardo, San Luis Rey, and 

Los Angeles rivers, draining areas to the south of San Francisco 

Bay; San Joaquin River, whose chief tributaries are Kern, Kings, 

Merced, Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers; Sacramento River, whose 

principal tributaries are Pit, Feather, and American; and Russian, 

Eel, Mad, and Klamath rivers, which flow into the ocean north of 

San Francisco Bay. Except Klamath River, which receives the 

drainage from a small area in Oregon, and a few streams in Oregon 

·that flow into Goose Lake, at the head of Pit River, all the streams in 

this division are entirely in California. 

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. (See 

p. 146.)

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 descriptive text. Th~ 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 artesian-water map shows the depth to underground-water horizons. 

Economic-geology and artesian-water maps are included in folios if the condi1 Index maps showing areas in California 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. 
PACIFIC SLOPE OF CALIFORNIA. 145 

tions 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 Geological Survey building May 18, 1913, the stock of 

geologic folios was more or less damaged by fire and water, but SO 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 edition of folio 186. The 

library edition 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 

for 50 cents a copy. The octavo edition of folio 185 and higher numbers sells 

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

higher-priced folios) 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. 

An asterisk ( *) indicates that the stock of the folio is exhausted.
