  • A Bibliography of Klamath Mountains Geology, California and Oregon
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A bibliography of Klamath Mountains geology, California and Oregon, listing authors from Aalto to Zucca for the years 1849 to mid-1995 Compiled by William P. Irwin Menlo Park, California Open-File Report 95-558 1995 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards (or with the North American Stratigraphic Code). Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. PREFACE This bibliography of Klamath Mountains geology was begun, although not in a systematic or comprehensive way, when, in 1953, I was assigned the task of preparing a report on the geology and mineral resources of the drainage basins of the Trinity, Klamath, and Eel Rivers in northwestern California. During the following 40 or more years, I maintained an active interest in the Klamath Mountains region and continued to collect bibliographic references to the various reports and maps of Klamath geology that came to my attention. When I retired in 1989 and became a Geologist Emeritus with the Geological Survey, I had a large amount of bibliographic material in my files. Believing that a comprehensive bibliography of a region is a valuable research tool, I have expended substantial effort to make this bibliography of the Klamath Mountains as complete as is reasonably feasible. My aim was to include all published reports and maps that pertain primarily to the Klamath Mountains, as well as all pertinent doctoral and master's theses.

  • Ore Bin / Oregon Geology Magazine / Journal
    The ORE BIN Volume 24, No.8 August, 1962 GEOLOGY OF THE CAPE BLANCO AREA, SOUTHWEST OREGON By R. H. Dott, Jr. * Introduction Cape Blanco, the most westerly headland in Oregon, encompasses some critical geological relationships important to the understanding of the western Klamath-Siskiyou region. The cape was named by 16th century Spanish sailors, as were many other Oregon headlands such as Cape Se­ bastian and Cape Ferrelo. Figure 1 shows the location of the Cape Blanco area, which includes also Blacklock Point, lying 3 miles to the northeast within the undeveloped Newburgh State Park. Cape Blanco and Blacklock Point lie along the northwest landward end of a great sheared zone which is at least one mile wide. Though Ce­ nozoic deposits mask most of the region to the east and south, the zone is considered co-extensive with the previously named Port Orford shear zone exposed 8 miles southeast of the cape (Koch and others, 1961). This is one of a series of such zones which lace the southwest Oregon coast just as they do in the northern California Coast Ranges (figure 1). The bedrock types and ages exposed in the area are extremely varied, ranging from the Dothan? Formation of uncertain but presumably Jurassic age to extensive Cenozoic deposits. Particularly noteworthy is the rec­ ognition of Late Cretaceous strata north of Blacklock Point (Koch and others, 1961). These, together with the Dothan? Formation and rocks in Cape Blanco, were all mapped as the "Myrtle formation" by Diller (1903). Only those in Cape Blanco are here regarded as representing true equiv­ alents of the Myrtle Group as defined by Imlay and others (1959).

The EA analyzed No Action and Proposed Action alternatives along with two other action alternatives. See EA OR128-99-13 for details of the analysis. The EA concluded in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). On Monday, June 26, 2000, the Coos Bay District announced (via Public Notice published in The World newspaper) the availability of the Draft RAMP (June 2000), EA and FONSI for a thirty-day public review period beginning on June 26, 2000 and ending July 26, 2000. Copies of the Draft RAMP, EA, and FONSI were sent to the appropriate government agencies, public interest groups, and individuals on our District mailing list. These documents were also available on the District’s website. The District received no formal written comments from any interested parties involving the Draft RAMP, EA or FONSI. The District received one comment regarding so me of the actions in the Draft RAMP via telephone. Documentation of this telephone conversation is on record in the District’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) files.

  • Landslide Occurrence in the Elk and Sixes River Basins, Southwest Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Margaret H. McHugh for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on December 10, 1986 Title: Landslide Occurrence in the Elk and SixesRiver Basins, Southwest Oregon Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Dr. Frederick J. Swanson Timber management of coastal watersheds insouthwest Oregon has been complicated by the need toprotect anadromous fish habitat from accelerated stream sedimentation resultingfrom management activity. The rugged terrain of the Elk and SixesRiver basins is underlain by the complex geological province of theKlamath Mountains, in which landslides are a common, natural, andimportant process of sediment production. A landslide investigation, using sequentialaerial photographs which covered a time period of 37years, was used to determine relationships between mass-wasting, geologictypes, and timber harvest practices. Averaged over all rock types, harvestedareas showed an increase in failure rate of 7 times, and roadedareas an increase of 48 times that of forested terrain. Terrane underlain by dioritic intrusions was the most sensitiveto road-related activity, with an increase in failure rate of up to 108 times that ofcomparable unmanaged land. The complexity of lithologies and deformational historyin the area strongly influence slope morphology, and produces characteristic soil types which experience predictable modes andrates of slope failure. Debris slides and torrents are the dominant formof mass-wasting in dioritic and Cretaceous sedimentaryterrane. Areas underlain by more

JOB TITLE: Natural resources of the Rogue estuary. PROJECT PERIOD: February 1978 - June 1979 Prepared by: Frank Ratti Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 506 S.W. Mill Street P.O. Box 3503 Portland, Oregon 97208 The preparation of this document was financed in part by funds from the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Department and the Office of Coastal Zone Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce, and by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. PREFACE This report is one of a series prepared by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) which summarizes the physical and biological data for selected Oregon estuaries. The reports are intended to assist coastal planners and resource managers in Oregon in fulfilling the inventory and comprehensive plan requirements of the Land Conservation and Development Commission's Estuarine Resources Goal (LCDC 1977b). A focal point of these reports is a habitat classification system for Oregon estuaries. The organization and terminology of this system are ex- plained in volume 1 of the report series entitled "Habitat Classification and Inventory Methods for the Management of Oregon Estuaries." Each estuary report includes some general management and research re- commendations. In many cases ODFW has emphasized particular estuarine habitats or features that should be protected in local comprehensive plans.
