  • Backcountry Discovery Trail
    Have you ever wanted to get into the backcountry Backcountry of a National Forest? Have you wondered if you have Discovery Trail what it takes? Rest assured: exploring the backcountry doesn’t necessarily require an ATV or a dirt bike. You can do it in a high clearance vehicle or a 4WD sport utility vehicle. This guide gives directions for the route from point to point, gives tips on what to bring and how to prepare, provides background information on history and general topics, and directs travelers to points of interest along the way. This 150-mile-long discovery trail is a perfect place to begin your explorations of the Plumas National Forest! Plumas National Forest Plumas National Forest Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail is published by the USDA Forest Service, in cooperation with the California State Parks OHV Division. Printed in the USA 2013 ISBN: Welcome to the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail (BDT) invites exploration of the remote areas of the Plumas National Forest. You can expect rough road conditions on gravel and dirt roads and a slow pace of travel, maybe only 30-50 miles a day. Be prepared for downed trees or rocks on the road, rough and rocky surfaces, and brush encroaching on the road- way. Much of the route is under snow in the winter and early spring. There are no restaurants, grocery stores, or gas stations along the main route and cell phone coverage is intermittent. The non-paved roads are currently maintained for travel by sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and high-clearance vehicles.

  • By David M. Miller Open-File Report 81-463 This Report Is Preliminary
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROPOSED CORRELATION OF AN ALLOCHTHONOUS QUARTZITE SEQUENCE IN THE ALBION MOUNTAINS, IDAHO, WITH PROTEROZOIC Z AND LOWER CAMBRIAN STRATA OF THE PILOT RANGE, UTAH AND NEVADA by David M. Miller Open-File Report 81-463 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U. S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. ABSTRACT A thick sequence of quartzite and schist exposed on Mount Harrison in the Albion Mountains, Idaho, is described and tentatively correlated with the upper part of Proterozoic Z McCoy Creek Group and Proterozoic Z and Lower Cambrian Prospect Mountain Quartzite (restricted) in the Pilot Range, Utah and Nevada, on the basis of lithology, thickness, and sedimentary structures. Correlations with early Paleozoic or middle Proterozoic strata exposed in central Idaho are considered to be less probable. Rapid thickness changes and locally thick conglomerates in Unit G of McCoy Creek Group (and its proposed correlatives in the Albion Mountains) indicate that cJepositional environments were variable locally. Environments were more uniform during the deposition of limy shaly and limestone in the top of Unit G and quartz sandstone in subsequent strata. The strata on Mount Harrison identified as Proterozoic Z and Lower Cambrian in this study are part of an overturned, structurally complicated sequence of metasedimentary rocks that lie tec topically on overturned, metamorphosed Ordovician carbonate strata and possible metamorphosed Cambrian shale, suggesting that a typical miogeoclinal sequence (Proterozoic Z to Ordovician) was possibly once present near the Albion Mountains area. Elsewhere in the Albion Mountains and the adjoining Raft River and Grouse Creek Mountains, however, Ordovician carbonate rocks appear to stratigraphically overlie metamorphosed clastic rocks of uncertain age that are dissimilar to miogeoclinal rocks of the region.

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.

  • Section 3 Water Resources and Use Assessment
    Nevada Division of Water Planning Nevada State Water Plan SUMMARY Section 3 Water Resources and Use Assessment Introduction An understanding of the state’s water resources and its usage is a necessary component to the planning and management process. This section provides an overview of the physical characteristics of Nevada’s water resources and historic water use for the last 25 years. Water Resources Background The following discussion provides an overview of Nevada’s surface water and groundwater resources. Topography The topography of Nevada and the surrounding areas makes for a unique and diversified climate. Nearly all of Nevada is in the Basin and Range Province of the Intermountain Plateaus, a rugged elevated area between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific mountain system. The topography of the Basin and Range province is characterized by isolated, long and narrow, roughly north-south trending, parallel mountain ranges and broad, intervening valleys. Internal drainage is a significant feature of the hydrology of much of Nevada with about 84 percent of the drainage flowing to low areas in enclosed basins rather than to the sea. The topography and related geology of the State has resulted in complex surface and ground water systems, complicating the management of these resources. In the 1960s, the Nevada State Engineer’s Office and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recognized the need for a systematic identification of the valleys or hydrographic areas, and developed a hydrographic area map. The current hydrographic area map delineates 256 hydrographic areas within 14 major hydrographic regions and basins (Figure 3-1, Table 3-1).
