The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1995. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1996. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1996. This survey was made cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station. It is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Gallatin County Conservation District. The most current official data are available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart website at http://soildatamart.nrcs.usda.gov. Soil maps in this survey may be copied without permission. Enlargement of these maps, however, could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale.

The foreground soils of Adel-Copenhaver complex and the drainageway soils of Bridger-Redlodge complex are on private land while the Yellowmule-Lonnibee, stony complex soils in the timber-covered foothills are on public land. The public land, including the Bridger Mountains, has been mapped in the “Soil Survey of Gallatin National Forest, Montana” (1996).

  • Geology of Part of the Townsend Valley Broadwater and Jefferson
    Geology of Part of the Townsend Valley Broadwater and Jefferson » Counties,x Montana GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 1042-N CONTRIBUTIONS TO ECONOMIC GEOLOGY GEOLOGY OF PART OF THE TOWNSEND VALLEY BROADWATER AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES, MONTANA By V. L. FREEMAN, E. T. RUPPEL, and M. R. KLEPPER ABSTRACT The Townsend Valley, a broad intermontane basin in west-central Montana, extends from Toston to Canyon Ferry. The area described in this report includes that part of the valley west of longitude 111° 30' W. and south of latitude 46° 30' N. and the low hills west and south of the valley. The Missouri River enters the area near Townsend and flows northward through the northern half of the area. Three perennial tributaries and a number of intermittent streams flow across the area and into the river from the west. The hilly parts of the area are underlain mainly by folded sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Cretaceous. The broad pediment in the southwestern part is underlain mainly by folded andesitic volcanic rocks of Upper Cretaceous age and a relatively thin sequence of gently deformed tuffaceous rocks of Tertiary age. The remainder of the area is underlain by a thick sequence of Tertiary tuffaceous rocks that is partly blanketed by late Tertiary and Quater­ nary unconsolidated deposits. Two units of Precambrian age, 13 of Paleozoic age, 7 of Mesozoic age, and several of Cenozoic tuffaceous rock and gravel were mapped. Rocks of the Belt series of Precambrian age comprise a thick sequence of silt- stone, sandstone, shale, and subordinate limestone divisible into the Greyson shale, the Spokane shale, and the basal part of the Empire shale, which was mapped with the underlying Spokane shale.

  • GEOLOGY and OIL and GAS PROSPECTS of the HUNTLEY FIELD, Montanj
    GEOLOGY AND OIL AND GAS PROSPECTS OF THE HUNTLEY FIELD, MONTANj By E. T. HANCOCK. INTRODUCTION. The Huntley field is in Yellowstone and Big Horn counties, south- central Montana, and embraces an area of about 650 square miles, part of which lies northwest and part southeast of Yellowstone River. The field has railroad facilities that are exceptionally good for this general region, being traversed by the main lines of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads. These roads furnish excellent shipping facilities at Huntley, Warden, Ballantine, Pompeys Pillar, and other points. Acknowledgments. In presenting this report the writer desires to express his thanks to David White for valuable suggestions and criticisms, to T. W. Stanton and F. H. Knowlton for the identifica­ tion of fossils, and to C. E. Dobbins for assistance in the detailed mapping. He also wishes to call attention to the public service rendered by oil and gas operators who have furnished records of deep borings and by individuals who have contributed in various ways to the success of the investigation. Earlier investigations. The Huntley field is in reality an ex­ tension of the Lake Basin field, which was mapped by the writer during the summer of 1916.1 The geologic investigation of the region including the Lake Basin and Huntley fields began with the Northern Transcontinental Survey of 1882. Prior to that time geologists had described certain struc­ tural features and the stratigraphic succession at points closely ad­ jacent to these fields, such as Judith Gap, the canyon of the North Fork of the- Musselshell, and the Bridger Range, but almost noth­ ing had been written concerning the geology of the area herein de­ scribed.

Stock photo. Allen wrote them out in his own decorous prose and in the third person, rather than the autobiographical first. Here, for the first time in print is Red Cloud's 'as-told-to' autobiography in which he shares the story of his early years. Thanks for telling us about the problem. Charles Wesley Allen ,. Average rating 3. There was great rejoicing when he entered his own village, for it was supposed that he had been killed. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Most of Red Cloud's story has been published 'third hand'. About this product. He is best known for his success in confrontations with the U. When he was around 5 years old, Red Cloud lost his father. Ben rated it really liked it Apr 10, Red Cloud's autobiography is just a glimmer, it's just so so so bittersweet. At the foot of that mountain is our village; there is where the women are. The Sioux had decided to make a rush and stampede the herd and, if an opportunity presented itself, shoot a struggling Ree or two and escape with their booty.
