Hydrology of Salt Walls Creek--A Plains Stream in Southwestern Wyoming

Description: From purpose and scope: The study on which this report is based began during 1975 in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management as part of their Energy Mineral Rehabilitation Inventory and Analysis program. The study was directed toward determining hydrologic processes and their relation to other aspects of the environment in the Salt Wells Creek basin, and how this knowledge might be used in planning for the strip mining of coal.

Tectonic Map of Wyoming, East of the Overthrust Belt, Showing the Distribution of Uranium Deposits

Description: From introduction: The compilation of the tectonic map of Wyoming east of the overthrust belt (area 6, fig. 2) was done by the U. S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Structures shown on the map have been obtained from published geologic maps and from unpublished data supplied by Government agencies, private companies, and independent geologists. The tectonic map of Wyoming east of the overthrust belt is only a progress report; a… more
