Of Surface-Water Records to September 30,1955 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 390 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 10. THE GREAT BASIN REPRINTED 1959 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fred A. Seaton, 'Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Thomas B. Nolan, Director GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 390 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 10 THE GREAT BASIN By J. S. Gatewood REPRINTED 1959 Washington, D. C., 1956 Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 10 THE GREAT BASIN By J. S. Gatewood EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in The Great Basin for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank. A stream name only is inserted where necessary for the purpose of showing the proper rank or order of tributaries. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a station name indicate that the enclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey. The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures published or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was continued in operation beyond September 30, 1955. The years given are calendar years. All periods of record not contained in water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States are indicated by appropriate footnotes. Records both of gage height and of discharge are listed for streamflow stations, and records of gage height and of contents (or of change in contents) are listed for stations on reservoirs. Records of gage heights only and records consisting only of monthly figures either of streamflow or reservoir contents are designated by symbols and footnotes. For early years when daily dis­ charges were not generally published by the Geological Survey, published daily gage heights and a published rating table were considered to be equivalent to daily discharges. An alphabetical index of streams, canals, and reservoirs is given on pages 18 to 22.

The early settlement and development of our country occurred along our coasts and water courses. The management of our land and water resources was the catalyst which enabled us to progress from a basically rural and agrarian economy to the urban and industrialized nation we are today. Since the General Survey Act of 1824, the US Army Corps of Engineers has played a vital role in the development and management of our national water resources. At the direction of Presidents and with Congressional authorization and funding, the Corps of Engineers has planned and executed major national programs for navigation, flood control, water supply, hydroelectric power, recreation and water conservation which have been responsive to the changing needs and demands of the American people for 152 years.

  • Elam Luddington: First Latter-Day Saint Missionary to Thailand
    Michael A. Goodman 10 Elam Luddington: First Latter-day Saint Missionary to Thailand I will keep digging till you all say enough, and then if you see fit to call me home, I shall be truly in heaven and happy in the extreme; or if you say “Spend your days in [this part of the world], it shall be even so; not my will but my Heavenly Fathers be done.” Elam Luddington1 lam Luddington, the first Latter-day Saint missionary to Siam (mod- Eern Thailand), faced tremendous hardships in his pioneering proselyt- ing work. Almost killed at sea numerous times, stoned twice, poisoned once, and finally mobbed, he left the Thai people after little more than four months. No further formal missionary work was attempted for over one hundred years in the ancient land of Siam. His sacrifice, however, laid the foundation for the future work of bringing the fullness of the gospel to Thailand. His efforts were not in vain. His legacy of faithfulness would be Michael A. Goodman is an associate professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. Go Ye into All the World followed by other modern-day pioneers who would also show tremendous bravery and faithfulness in the face of forbidding odds. PREPARATION TO SERVE Elam Luddington was born November 23, 1806, in Harwinton, Litch field County, Connecticut, a little town incorporated in 1737.2 His par- ents were Elam Luddington Sr. and Aseneth Munger. Elam Luddington Sr., who was also named after his father, was a farmer, carpenter, and mariner. Elam described his father as “honest, virtuous, industrious, a good husband and a kind father.”3 Aseneth Luddington died of consumption when Elam was only ten years old.

Newnian F 1 i TECH LfSRARY KAFB, NM 1 NASA Technical Paper 1828 1981 Applications Systems Veritication and Transfer Project Volume VII: Cost/Benefit Analysis for the ASVT on Operational Applications of Satellite Snow-Cover Observations P. Castruccio, H. Loats, D. Lloyd, and P. Newman Ecosystems International, Inc. Gambrills, Maryland National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Branch I ABSTRACT The results of the OASSO ASVT's have been used to estimate the benefits accruing from the added infomation available from satellite snowcover area measurement. Estimates of the improvement in runoff prediction due to addition of SATSCAM have been made by the Colorado ASVT personnel. The improvement estimate is 6-10%. Data were applied to subregions covering the Western States snow area amended by information from the ASVT and other watershed experts to exclude areas which are not impacted by snowmelt runoff. Benefit models were developed for irrigation and hydroenergy uses. Results of the benefit estimate for these major uses yielded a yearly aggregate of 36.5M. Cost estimates for the employment of SATSCAM based upon the Colorado ASVT results and expanded to the Western States totalled $505K. The benefit/cost ratio thus formed is 72:l. Since only two major benefit contributors were used and since the forecast improvement estimate does not take into account future satellite capabilities these estimates are considered to be conservative.

  • Surficial Geologic Map of the Wasatch Fault Zone, Eastern Part of Utah Valley, Utah County and Parts of Salt Lake and Juab Counties, Utah
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SURFICIAL GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE WASATCH FAULT ZONE, EASTERN PART OF UTAH VALLEY, UTAH COUNTY AND PARTS OF SALT LAKE AND JUAB COUNTIES, UTAH By Michael N. Machette Pamphlet to accompany Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map 1-2095 Any use of trade names in this publication is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey INTRODUCTION I I I I The Wasatch Front and, particularly, the Wasatch fault MF-2042 I 1-1979 zone have been the subject of geologic investigations since the reconnaissance studies of G.K. Gilbert (1890, 1928) a L\ century ago (Machette and Scott, 1988). In 1983, the U.S. MF-2107 Geological Survey (USGS) initiated a program to assess the East Cache hazards posed by the fault zone. This map, which is the third Fault Zone in a series funded by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, shows the surficial geology along part of the Wasatch faut zone (see index map) and provides basic I' geologic data needed to make reliable assessments of earth­ I I quake hazards. I I I I This discussion describes the Quaternary geology along t// II \ the fault zone and at fault-segment boundaries, including Not mapped/\\ I data on the age, size, and distribution of fault scarps, and L:.J summarizes the results of an extensive exploratory trenching Wasatch Fault program conducted by the USGS and UGS (Utah Geological Zone Survey). This information is part of the basis for Machette and others (1987, 1991, 1992) recent assessments of the paleoseismic history of the Wasatch fault zone.

His family made it available to historians just prior to Payson's Centennial year, 1950. MCD 1851 page 4 & 5 More Settlers Arrive Back in December Brigham Young had advised David Crockett and David Fairbanks to head for Peteetneet. They had delayed the trip until spring. On arrival at Peteetneet they were told they could have all the land they wanted, but there was not sufficient water to accommodate additional families. Consequently they turned east and became the first settlers of Pond Town. Among those who joined them were John B. Fairbanks, Henry Nebeker, Elizabeth Wilson and sons, Bradley, 23; and David, 21. After two years' time the settlers at Peteetneet reconsidered the water situation and the families were welcomed back.
