It was updated by personnel of the Data Reports Unit, Water Resources Division, Geo­ logical Survey. Basic data on surface-water supply have been published in an annual series of water-supply papers consisting of several volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. Prior to 1951, the records for the 48 States were published in 14 volumes, one for each of the parts. From 1951 to 1%0, the records for the 48 States were published annually in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. Beginning in 1961, the annual series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year series, and records for the period 1961-65 were published in 37 volumes, there being 2 or more volumes for each of 11 parts and one each for parts 10, 13, 14, 15 (Alaska), and 16 (Hawaii and other Pacific areas).

  • A Visit to the Oil Regions of Pennsylvania In18651
    A VISIT TO THE OIL REGIONS OF PENNSYLVANIA IN 1865 1 AMASA M. EATON in August, 1859, tne startling news that Colonel Edwin L. LateDrake had struck oil on Watson's flats reached Titusville,Pennsyl- vania. Immediately the village was wild with excitement. Men jumped on horses and galloped away down the valley of OilCreek to secure land for drilling purposes. Farm after farm was either leased orpurchased and within a short time all the available land in this narrow valley had been taken up. Hurried preparations were made for erecting derricks and sink- ing other wells. Within a few days William Barnsdall, Boon Meade, William H. Abbott, and Henry R. Rouse were drilling a second well, while a third was being bored by Brewer, Watson &Company. As new and more sensational wells, like the Funk, Empire, Phillips, and those on the Schaffer, Miller,Tarr, and Blood farms, were developed, excitement increased and the bustling activity assumed boom proportions. In fact, the news of Drake's success was the signal for a mad rush of speculators, promoters, operators, laborers, and adventurers to OilCreek, a rush com- parable to those to California in1849 anc^ t0 Carson City and the Pike's Peak region in 1858 and 1859; an(* the vaUeybecame the most impor- tant region in drilling for oilin the succeeding years. In the meantime, however, little tributaries that flowed into OilCreek on either side, which had been neglected heretofore, began to attract at- tention. Although small and insignificant as a stream, Cherry Run was the most important branch of OilCreek.
