DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, HYDROGRAPHIC BRANCH, Washington, D. C., June 1, 1904. SIR: I forward herewith a report on the underground waters of Salt River Valley, Arizona, by Willis.T. Lee, and recommend that it be published as a water-supply and irrigation paper. Mr. Lee, under the direction of Mr. N. H. Dayton, geologist in charge of the western section of hydrology, has made a detailed investigation of the underground waters and geology of Salt River Valley, in the Phoenix region and eastward, and I believe the results will be of value and interest to a large number of persons. The region is one in which the problem of water supply is of great importance, for its prosperity is entirely dependent upon the utilization of the surface and underground waters. Very respectfully, F. H. NEWELL, Crhi(f Engineer. Hon. CHARLES D. WALcorr, Director United States Geological Surrey. 9 U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WATER-SUPPLY PAPER NO. 136 PL. 1 Z ) c".) UNDERGROUND WATERS OF SALT RIVER VALLEY, ARIZONA. By WILLIS T. LEE. INTR ODUCTION. PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION. The purpose of this paper is to bring together the facts, so far as known, regarding the underground waters of Salt River Valley, with a view to ascertaining their available quantity, the areas where they occur sufficiently near the surface for economic pumping, and their adaptability for irrigation.

Two developments emerge from the data reported here that are especially significant. Two granites, one from the Mazatzal Mountains east of Phoenix and one from the Santan Mountains southeast of Phoenix, yielded dates between 1630 and 1640 Ma. This is unusually young for early Proterozoic granites in Arizona, although two granites in the Maricopa Mountains southwest of Phoenix have yielded similar dates (Eisele and Isachsen, in review; Joe Wooden, written communication, 1998). Possi­ bly, these dated granites are part of a belt of similar-age granites that roughly occupy the boundary between Pi­ nal Schist on the southeast and metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Tonto Basin Supergroup to the northwest (Conway and Silver, 1989; Reynolds and Dewitt, 1991).

    The AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in TEMPE The AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in TEMPE by Jared Smith A publication of the Tempe History Museum and its African American Advisory Committee Published with a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council Photos courtesy of the Tempe History Museum, unless otherwise noted Cover artwork by Aaron Forney Acknowledgements Like the old saying, “it takes a village to raise a child,” so it went with this booklet to document the African American history of Tempe, Arizona. At the center of this project is the Tempe History Museum’s African American Advisory Group, formed in 2008. The late Edward Smith founded the Advisory Group that year and served as Chair until February 2010. Members of the Advisory Group worked with the staff of the Tempe History Museum to apply for a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council that would pay for the printing costs of the booklet. Advisory Group members Mary Bishop, Dr. Betty Greathouse, Maurice Ward, Earl Oats, Dr. Frederick Warren, and Museum Administrator Dr. Amy Douglass all served on the Review Committee and provided suggestions, feedback, and encouragement for the booklet. Volunteers, interns, staff, and other interested parties provided a large amount of research, editing, formatting, and other help.

  • A Regional Groundwater Flow Model of the Salt River Valley - Phase I
    SDMS DOCID#1142207 ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES A REGIONAL GROUNDWATER FLOW MODEL OF THE SALT RIVER VALLEY - PHASE I PBOEN~ AC~ MANAGEMENT AREA HYDROGEOLOGIC FRAMEWORK AND BASIC DATA REPORT BY EDWIN F. CORKHILL, STEVE CORELL, BRADLEY M. HILL. and DAVID A. CARR HYDROLOGY DIVISION MODELING REPORT NO. 6 Phoenix, Arizona April, 1993 ARIZO~A DEPARTMENT OF \'1ATER RESOURCES A REGIONAL GROUND\VATER FLOW MODEL OF THE SALT RIVER VALLEY ~ PHASE I PHOENIX ACTIVE MANAGEMENT AREA HYDROGEOLOGIC FRAMEWORK AND BASIC DATA REPORT Final Report by Edwin Corkhilt Steve CorelL Bradley M. HilL and David A. Modeling Report No. 6 Hydrology Division - Groundwater Modeling April 1, 1 Abstract The Phoenix Active :Management Area groundwater flow model focuses on the hydrologic system of the Salt River Valley, the most intensive water use area of the state. The goal of the hydrologic study and modeling effort was to develop a quantitative tool to test various groundwater management scenarios. The predevelopment hydrologic system (circa 1900) of the Salt River Valley is analyzed. Various components of groundwater inflow and outflov,/ are identified. A predevelopment groundviater budget is presented. The total inflows and outflows were in approximate balance and equaled approximately 139J~OO acre-feet per year. The modern hydrologic system (1978-198:-1) is analyzed. The vari.ous components of groundv,:rner inflow and outflov<' are identified. Detailed descriptions of the methodologies used to analyze the components of flow are provided. A groundwater budget for the period 19/X-1 Y88 is presented. The total inflows were approximately 13.5 million acre-feet and the total outflow-, were approximately 14.0 million acre-feet The estimated decrease in the volume of groundwater in storage \\'US 0.5 rnillion acre-feet Various recommendations are provided to improve future data collection and analysis efforts.

  • Geologic Map of the Hedgpeth Hills 7.5' Quadrangle, Maricopa County, Arizona
    Geologic Map of the Hedgpeth Hills 7.5' Quadrangle, Maricopa County, Arizona by Robert S. Leighty and Gary Huckleberry Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 98-18 November, 1998 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite 100, Tucson, AZ 85701 Includes 23-page text and 1:24,000 scale geologic map. This report was supported by the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency, withjunds provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the State Indoor Radon Grant Program, the U.S. Geological Survey via the STATEMAP program, and the Arizona Geological Survey. This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION The Hedgpeth Hills Quadrangle is located in the northwestern Phoenix metropolitan area, between Interstate 17 (I-17) and the Agua Fria River (Figure 1). The quadrangle is bounded by latitudes 33°37'30''N and 33°45'00"N, and longitudes 112°07'30"W and 112°15'00"W. The Hedgpeth Hills area is highly urbanized and is still undergoing rapid population growth. Thus, the knowledge of the distribution and character of bedrock and surficial deposits is important to make informed decisions concerning management of the land and its resources. Geologic mapping of the Hedgpeth Hills Quadrangle is related to other 1:24,000 scale mapping projects in and around the Phoenix metropolitan area (Figure 1). Geologic mapping of bedrock and surficial units in the quadrangle was based upon both field observations and interpretation of aerial photographs and soil surveys. Mapping of Quaternary surficial deposits was initially done by Huckleberry, whereas final mapping and interpretation of bedrock and surficial units was completed by Leighty.
