R. Moyle, Jr., Peter Martin, R. C. Schluter, Linda R. Woolfenden, Karen Downing, Ann L. Elliott, and Dorothy E. Maltby ABSTRACT This report provides a bibliography for the Southern California Alluvial Basins Regional Aquifer-Systems Analysis project. The bibliography includes references for about 4,000 publications related to the geohydrology of the 75,000-square-mile region, which encompasses all southern California (except the Central Valley), the Channel Islands and the Pacific Ocean floor off southern California, and parts of adjacent States and Mexico. The report indexes the publications in six geographic categories and includes a list of sources of publications. Because of the large number of references in the bibliography, a system was developed for computer storage and retrieval. References can be retrieved by geographic location, author, or geohydrologic discipline and subject. The computer system allows for updating and addition of references. INTRODUCTION The Southern California Alluvial Basins RASA (Regional Aquifer-Systems Analysis) is one of many planned or ongoing national RASA studies of the U.S. Geological Survey. The objectives of the Southern California Alluvial Basins RASA are (1) to determine the geohydrologic framework of the coastal and desert alluvial basins in southern California excluding the Central Valley and (2) to identify and analyze major issues and problems affecting the use of ground water in these basins. The study area for the Southern California Alluvial Basins RASA includes about 75,000 mi 2 and extends from Santa Clara and Mono Counties on the north to the California-Mexico boundary on the south (fig. 1). Parts of western Nevada and western Arizona are included on the east, and the Channel Islands and part of the offshore area of southern California on the west. The study area is about 400 miles long and as much as 225 miles wide. The geology and hydrology of the area are as diverse as anywhere in the world. Surface water is scarce or seasonal throughout most of the Southern California Alluvial Basins RASA study area. Because of the lack of adequate local surface-water supplies, ground water is an important and extensively used resource. A multitude of maps and reports have been produced pertaining to the geohydrology of southern California, but no comprehensive bibliography has been published. This report presents a bibliography of about 4,000 references organized by geographic location for use in the Southern California Alluvial Basins RASA. Included in this bibliography are reports of Federal, State, and local agencies; academic institutions; and private firms. The coverage of Federal and State publications is extensive; the coverage of reports by local agencies, academic institutions, and private firms is not exhaustive for all areas. Selected journal articles also are included. Publications cited in this bibliography may be borrowed or purchased at one or more of the universities, colleges, libraries, and government agencies mentioned in the "Sources of Publications" section. Because of the large number of references in the bibliography, a system was developed for computer storage and retrieval. References may be retrieved from the system according to geographic category, author, or geohydrologic discipline and subject. References may also be added and updated in the system. The geohydrologic disciplines and subjects used in the bibliography are shown in table 1. 124° 120° 40° STUDY AREA rO \ 36 100 MILES -1 ' 34' 100 KILOMETERS FIGURE 1.-Location of the study area. ORGANIZATION OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHY The bibliography presented in this report is organized into six geographical categories. The categories are ordered from most detailed to most general as follows: 1. 15-minute topographic quadrangles 2. Map sheets 3. Military reservations and national monuments 4. Counties 5. Southern California and offshore 6. Arizona, California, Mexico, and Nevada. For example, a report cited in category 1 contains highly detailed information on a specific locality, whereas a report cited in category 6 contains general information on one of the States included in the study or on Mexico. Citations within each category and subdivision are alphabetized by senior author. 15-Minute Topographic Quadrangle Maps The first category of references in the bibliography is based on the series of 15-minute topographic quadrangle maps prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey. References compiled for each quadrangle include reports and maps that pertain almost entirely to that particular quadrangle. Because they cover small areas, the reports and maps referenced in this category are usually more detailed studies than the reports and maps referenced in other categories of the bibliography. The 15-minute quadrangles have been assigned a 4-digit index number using a grid system devised for this report (pi. 1), and in the bibliography the quadrangles have been serialized according to this system. The 15-minute quadrangle map index numbers and their corresponding 15-minute quadrangle map names and associated 7^-minute quadrangle map names are shown in table 2. The four-digit identification number for each 15-minute quadrangle can be derived from plate 1 as follows. The first two digits refer to row numbers, which are on the left and right edges of the map. The rows are numbered from bottom to top. The second two digits refer to column numbers, which are on the top and bottom of the map. The numbering of the columns is from right to left. For example, the identification number for the San Bernardino 15-minute quadrangle is 0714, because the San Bernardino quadrangle is in row 07 and column 14 of the map grid. Map Sheets I The second category of references in the bibliography is based on the system of map sheets (scale 1:250,000) published by the U.S. Geological Survey (pi. 1). Most of the map sheets cover 1 degree of longitude by 2 degrees of latitude. The index map for the map sheets is in the lower left corner of plate 1. The name of each map sheet is included on the index map. In the bibliography, the map sheets are listed in alphabetical order, and the references compiled for each map sheet are alphabetized by senior author. Military Reservations and National Monuments The third category of the bibliography consists of references for selected military reservations and national monuments in southern California. Four military reservations and two national monuments were included in the biblio­ graphy. The index map for this (and the following) category is on the left side of plate 1 above the map-sheets index map. The military reservations and national monuments are listed in alphabetical order in the bibliography, and the references are alphabetized by senior author within each subdivision.
