Maps showing coal resources of the Big A Mountain Quadrangle, Russell and Buchanan counties, Virginia
The coal-bearing Norton Formation of Early and Middle Pennsylvanian age is at the surface over most of the northwestern two-thirds of the Big A Mountain quadrangle. The southeastern part of the quadrangle, bounded on the northwest and northeast by Buffalo Mountain and Russell Fork faults, consists of highly faulted rocks ranging in age from Early Cambrian to Middle Pennsylvanian (Miller and Meissn
Maps showing geochemical analyses of the Ishi, Mill Creek, Polk Springs, and Butt Mountain further planning areas, Tehama and Plumas counties, California
The Ishi, Mill Creek, Polk Springs, and Butt Mountain Further Planning Areas occupy part of the region between Chico and Mount Lassen (fig. 1). All of these areas are characterized by thick sequences of Tertiary and Quaternary pyroclastic and lava flows, predominantly of the Pliocene Tuscan Formation, overlying Paleozoic and (or) Mesozoic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks and the Cretaceous
Maps showing locations and descriptions of radiocarbon-dated samples from central and northern California
This compilation includes radiocarbon dates and other pertinent information about samples from northern and central California, principally north of latitude 36°, drawn largely from Radiocarbon, Science, unpublished data of U.S. Geological Survey geologists, and other published and unpublished data brought to the author's attention as of January 1981. It includes a location map, several tables, an
Maps showing mines, quarries, oil and gas activity, and sample localities in and near the Sipsey Wilderness and additions, Lawrence and Winston counties, Alabama
The U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted a field reconnaissance of Sipsey Wilderness in the fall of 1978 and of the roadless areas in the spring and summer of 1979. Mines, quarries, prospects, exposures, and drill sites in and near the study area were examined. Fifty-three samples were collected during the field work; sample localities are shown in figure 3. Analyses and preliminary test results for
Maps showing uranium-bearing diatremes of the Hopi Buttes, Arizona
The Hopi Buttes dominate the landscape north of Holbrook, Arizona, commonly rising to heights of 180 m above the surrounding countryside. The buttes are underlain by individual diatremes, or in some cases by a complex of diatremes. Some sediment-filled diatremes also crop out as inconspicuous low hills (some may also be buried beneath the alluvium). The diatremes erupted into the late Miocene-e
Metalliferous mineral resource potential of the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, southern Alaska
This mineral potential map is the final report in a series of publications that makes up a folio on the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles of southern Alaska. It draws on data largely presented in previous publications of the folio. The studies were undertaken as part of the Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program (AMRAP), a program designed to provide information for Federal, State, local, an
Mine and prospect map of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness Area, Pima County, Arizona
The Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978 created the Pusch Ridge Wilderness. During 1979, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines investigated the area to evaluate the mineral resources. In addition to field investigations, studies by the Bureau of Mines personnel included courthouse research to ascertain claim locations within and near the area. Field work involved sampli
