These, however, are widely distributed in various publications and manuscripts which are in most cases inaccessible. This paper has been prepared to meet the constant demand for this information from both the general and the engineering public. The

Cottonwood Falls folio, Kansas
The Cottonwood Falls quadrangle lies between parallels 38° and 38° 30' and meridians 96° 30' and 97°, and therefore constitutes a quarter of a square degree of the earth's surface. It is 34.35 miles long and 26.75 miles wide, and contains about 938 square miles. It is located east and a little south of the central part of Kansas, on Cottonwood River, and includes large portions of Chase and Mario

Water resources of the Philadelphia district
The area included in the Philadelphia district lies between 39° 45' and 40° 15' north latitude and 75° and 75° 30' west longitude. It has a length of 34.50 miles from north to south and a width of 26.53 miles from east to west, and covers one-fourth of a square degree, which is equivalent, in that latitude, to, about 915.25 square miles. It is mapped on the Germantown, Norristown, Philadelphia, an
