GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
MAKES INVESTIGATIONS
Engineers of the Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, sur
veyed 1,150 miles of rivers, mapped 46
dam sites and 21 reservoir sites, and
made records of stream flow at 1,600
gaging stations in 1922. Geologists
of the Survey examined the geologic
structure at more than 50 proposed
dam sites. The data gathered thru
the field work were analyzed and in
corporated in reports on stream flow,
water power, and irrigation. The
estimated potential power available
50 per cent of the time on the streams
surveyed amounts to 2,500,000 horse
power.
Water-power investigations must
necessarily be made where the fall of
the streams is greatest, and therefore
much of the work is done in the moun
tainous areas, where the population
is scant and scattered and the means

of communication are poor. The sur
veyors must follow the rivers, so that
in many regions supplies can be car
, l ied only by pack train or by boat.
As little baggage as possible is car
ried, for camp is moved almost daily.
About 200 miles of Colorado River
were mapped, 24 dam sites were sur
veyed, and a geologic examination was
made at each site. In this survey
three boats furnished the only means
of transportation. Accounts of this
trip through the Canyon of he Colo
rado, relating its perilous adventures
and its scientific results, have already
been widely published. The water
available for developing power in the
canyon section of Colorado River is
measured at gaging stations at Lees
Ferry, Bright Angel Creek in Grand
Canyon National Park, and Topock.
The measurements are made by cur
rent meters operating from cables,
; and the river stages' are recorded by
automatic gages.
In Oregon about 300 miles of Rogue
River and its tributaries, 13 dam
I sites, and five reservoir sites were
mapped. In its upper stretches the
river flows through an area traversed
by good roads , but in its lower stret
ches there ai'e no roads, so that boats
were used. In its lower part, from
Grants Pass to the mouth, the river
: is very swift and difficult to run, but
| the Survey boats made the trip with
out an upset. At one point however,
the rock walls approach each other so
closely that one boat which was turned
sideways by the current was lifted on
a wave in such a way that it lodged
between the walls, one end on each

side, clear of the water. By good
fortune the boat when pried loose was
headed into the rapids and came thru
unharmed.
In the survey of Illinois River, a
tributary of the Rogue, a pack train
was used except around Bald Moun
tain, where no trail follows the river.
Here the, supplies were transferred to
a boat, but when the party had gone
to more than half way around the
mountain they encountered boulders
so large and so close together that
further progress by boat was impos
sible. The surveyors were then com
pelled to carry their instruments, food,
and bedding through a narrow canyon,
whose sides were either densely wood
ed of consisted of bare, precipitous
rock. In the bed of the stream deep
pools alternated with rapids strewn
along such a stream is slow and labor
iuos. Many times the party climbed
the steep sides of the canyon to avoid
a pool only to be forced back by a pre
cipitous cliff. The rock walls of these
gorges, however, furnish excellent
abutments for dams, and at such plac
es the power development causes a
minimum of damage to property.
Records of the daily flow of Rogue
River are made at Prospect and Tolo,
*Oreg., and similar records are made
on many of its tributaries.
Klamath River in Oregon and Cal
ifornia, was mapped out for 100 miles,
this work completing the survey of
this river and its larger tributaries.
Seven dam sites and two smaller res
ervoir sites were surveyed. A re
connaissance investigation was made
of the power possibilities on Smith,
Trask, Nestucca, Nehalem, and Wilson
rivers in western Oregon.
The western tributaries of South
Platte River from Denver to the Col
orado-Wyoming line wTere mapped, as
well as Sweetwater and Encampment
rivers, in Wyoming. In Colorado and
460 miles of river surveys were made,
and 14 reservoir sites and 12 dam sites
were mapped.
