GEOLOGICAL REPORT BY RALPH ARNOLD BY MECCA HILLS ANTICLINE TOWNSHIP & SOUTH RANGE 10 EAST MECCA CALIFORNIA

195179273Los Angeles 1951. The 24-page original typescript includes 16 tipped-in original black-and-white photographs two elevation charts and a map. Arnold was hired by Jack Leland to study reports and maps of the Mecca Hills Anticline and conduct a field inspection providing his opinion of the oil and gas possibilities of the rock formations. On page three of the report underlined in red is his comment: â€œThis structure is ideal for oil and gas accumulation.â€ He further states: â€œfrom the evidence it is clear that oil exists in the general area of the north end of the Imperial Valley.â€ The Mecca Hills Anticline is now in a protected reserve. Established in 1994 the U.S. Bureau of Land Management manages the 26356-acre Mecca Hills Wilderness. The area includes narrow steep-walled canyons that create a natural maze within the badlands. Uniquely faulted and folded geologic formations are the result of activity on the local sections of the San Andreas Fault making the Mecca Hills one of the more unusual geological sites of this kind. Located in Riverside County Mecca is a desert community on the north shore of the Salton Sea in the Eastern Coachella Valley and is surrounded by agricultural land with a population of approximately 8000 residents. Bound with brads in black leatherette wrappers. The contents are a little toned and the photographs once affixed with glue are now loose but all present. unknown

The Virginias: A Mining Industrial and Scientific Journal devoted to the Development of Virginia and West Virginia Volume 1-4; 1880-1884

18839696Staunton VA: Printed by S. M. Yost & Son for Jed Hotchkiss 1883. Hard Cover. Good binding. Quarto. xi 1 196 192; 6 196; 1 iii 196 pp. maps illus. First edition. Volume 1 & 2 bound together in library buckram; Volume 3 in marbled boards with modern bonded leather spine and corners; Volume 4 in library buckram. Volume II is lacking volume title page and index. All volumes trimmed some closer than others. Ex-library with typical markings; bindings are a trifle worn but sturdy; contents are a bit brittle with some closed tears to the folds of the maps a couple of maps have cleanly separated along those tears; occasional early tape repairs to a few leaves and a few maps. Rogers’s geological map is quite crisp and bright. Relatively well-preserved volumes from this landmark publication. An important periodical that ran from 1880 through Volume VI 1885 before being merged into the Industrial South. Jedediah Hotchkiss the editor and publisher is perhaps most remembered as the staff officer of Stonewall Jackson and employed his topographical and cartographical skills to the great benefit of Jackson during the Civil War. After the war Hotchkiss established himself in Staunton VA as a consulting engineer and geologist among other endeavors eventually editing and publishing this present periodical. Given the wealth of information related to natural resources it's easy to imagine that these efforts brought significant funding into the commonwealth at a time it was greatly needed. While there are contributions by most significant geologists of the day as well as maps and sections by Hotchkiss J. Peter Lesley James P. Kimball R. O. Currey John L. Campell and others. But certainly the most notable inclusions is William Barton Rogers’s 1841 geological map of Virginia. This first systematic geological survey of Virginia began in 1835 when Rogers a recognized expert was engaged by the Virginia General Assembly to undertake the task. The manuscript of the map was largely complete when funding for the project was cut off in 1841. This map languished for decades until a version of it Marcou 592 was published in Virginia: A Geographical and Political Summary. Hotchkiss a friend and colleague of Rogers further added to the map and issued it in Vol. I No. 6 of The Virginias 1880. Of this map E. M. Sanchez-Saavedra writes: "The geological map of Virginia is modest in appearance but it contains more information than first meets the eye. Its topography was based on the 1827 Boye nine-sheet map altered to emphasize natural drainage and erosion patterns. The large patches of color representing different formations were the result of Rogers's years in the field—digging climbing and analyzing rock strata." Finally noting that this color coding seems to have been of Roger's invention it would be employed to some degree in subsequent years by John Wesley Powell as he embarked on his ambitious undertaking to map the entirety of the country. This map remains an important piece of Virginia geologic and cartographic history. Sanchez-Saavedra A Description of the Country: Virginia's Cartographers and Their Maps 1607-1881. pp. 103-118.

Boulder pavement at top of lower till indicated by arrow." Condition: Good only due to the detached cover. The photographs are in very good condition. Two photo books with forty-four photographs extremely well identified with detailed captions containing the geological characteristics of the wide variety of locations and with the numbers of Gilbert's negatives clearly listed. It could be that these images appeared or were intended to appear in USGS publications. The Geological Society of America GSA was founded in 1888. It is a global scientific society with members from academia government and industry in over one hundred countries. The aim of the GSA is to support the professional growth of geoscientists and encourage cooperative research among earth life planetary and social scientists foster public dialogue on geoscience issues and promote the geosciences in the service of humankind. James Furman Kemp 1859-1926 was mostly known for his work in igneous petrology and on the origin of ore deposits. He served as the President of the Geological Society of America in 1921. Charles Doolittle Walcott 1850-1927 was the third director of the U.S. Geological Survey the fourth Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and a contributor to the "Bulletin of the Geological Society of America." The lion's share of the photographs are reproduced from the negatives of U.S. explorer geographer and geologist Grove Karl Gilbert 1843-1918 whose life spanned an age of heroic geology and who was one of the founders of modern geomorphology the study of landforms. He helped launch the U.S. Geological Survey USGS and was its chief geologist under the famed explorer and second USGS director John Wesley Powell. In addition Gilbert was a founding member of the National Geographic Society as well as president twice of the Geological Society of America. Gilbert was first exposed to the American West when he participated in the Wheeler Survey one of the four great surveys of the American West headed by George Wheeler Clarence King Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and Powell. Gilbert's monumental works were "Report on the Geology of the Henry Mountains" 1877 and "Lake Bonneville - Department of the Interior Monographs of the United States Geological Survey Volume 1" 1890. He is credited with naming ancient Lake Bonneville whose raised shorelines he used to demonstrate crustal isostasy. "Gilbert had a knack for harnessing the geography of the land in the cause of something greater: extraction of knowledge about the processes at work." - R. S. Anderson https://eos.org/features/reflections-on-the-legacy-of-grove-karl-gilbert-1843-1918. A collection featuring the investigative research of three prominent U.S. geologists who were the top field geologists of their time.

An Abstract of a New Theory of the Formation of the Earth

182346664Baltimore: N.G. Maxwell 1823. First Edition. 12mo 18.5cm.; calf-backed marbled boards gilt-lettered spine; xv214-211pp. Boards a bit scuffed with brief exposure at corners leather somewhat dried and mottled endpapers toned faint dampstaining to first half of textblock else a Very Good sound copy. Theory on the formation of the earth dedicated to Andrew Jackson. Early chapters cover general natural phenomena such as "strata" and "The various colours of Marble" while the latter half of the text focuses on the North American continent describing "A Flood that was produced by the rise of northeast rise of North America" the formation of the Delaware Schuylkill and Susquehanna Rivers; the formation of the North American prairies; and the "Insects Vegetation &c. of America." The author later published another work titled "Antiquities of America Explained" 1831 arguing that a group of Tyrians and Jews crossed the Atlantic 3000 years ago creating a colony in Nova Scotia that eventually spread across the entire continent.

Andrew Cowper Lawson Professor of Geology at the University of California. Two Autograph Field Notebooks of an American geologist including notes of Californian surveys conducted with E. F. Davis and A. R. Whitman while studying under Lawson.

24521Mostly relating to the San Francisco Bay Area of California but also to other parts of the state. Between 1912 and 1950. The two volumes contain a total of 239pp. 12mo in ink and pencil with entries dating from between 29 November 1912 and 28 March 1950. In fair overall condition with light signs of age and wear.

In manuscript on cover of first volume: '19<.> Dec. The Psilomelane D<eposits> of the Francis<can> <.> by Don <.> Under Prof. A. C. L<awson> <.>'. The two volumes mainly consist of rough notes statistics and diagrams - on samples deposits assay returns extracts surface workings stadia shots - relating to geological and mineralogical surveys mostly in California. The first volume dates from between 29 November 1912 Fort Baker and 23 January 1917 Latouche and contains doctoral work by the author while a geology student under Professor A. C. Lawson the identifier and namer of the San Andreas Fault at the University of California Berkeley. Named colleagues in some of these surveys are A. R. Whitman and E. F.

'Franciscan Geology of Northern California'. The second volume contains entries written between 5 September 1917 Hayden Hill and 28 March 1950 Yuba Gravel Range Nevada County. Towards the end of the second volume is a page dated 15 March 1950 and headed 'Work in Court House until 10 AM' perhaps suggesting that the author was by that time employed as a California state geologist a section of the same volume relating to the Decanso Mine seems to indicate that he was also working as a consultant. The first volume relates exclusively to California and mostly to the San Francisco Bay Area with entries on Fort Baker Marin County; the Robert Friggel Ranch in Livermore Alameda County; the Lucky Star Mine in Hayden Hill Lassen County; and Red Rock Island. Other places surveyed in the first volume are: 'Tesla-Carnegie' in San Joaquin County the Hess Mine in Imperial County and 'Latouche'.

October 18-19 1913. With Davis; E. F.'; 'Challenger report abstract'; 'Davis' Abstract' 'E. F. Davis's Report'; 'Assay Returns'; 'Tesla-Carnegie'; 'Extracts' and 'Lucky Star Mine' 'January 8th '15 Hayden Hill Lucky Star Mine Sampling'. Headings in text relate to 'Hess Mine' and 'Latouche'. One of the pages relating to Red Rock Island is headed: 'March 22 1913 with Davis & Whitman Same voyage. windy & cold'. And one of those on Fort Baker dated 12 October 1913 has: 'with "<Corey Cosey>". K. Campbell.' Another page is headed: 'Conn Valley. October 18-19 1913. With Davis; E. F.' VOLUME TWO: 146pp. First page headed: 'Hayden Hill Sept 5 1917'. Eleven pages on the Descanso Mine California dated 19 September 1931 include sections headed 'Water' 'Assays' 'Terms' 'Crosby's Terms' and 'History'. There are four pages of diagrams of Donner as 'Doner' Mine Place County and thirteen pages of diagrams of the survey area of Yuba Gravel Range Nevada County. An entry dated 25 March 1950 on 'Yuba Gravel Range Stadia Shots' is followed by one three days later on 'East Rim Survey Stadia'. The volume also contains: a seven-page account dated 9 and 10 August 1929 regarding a journey through San Lorenzo and Lagunillas Venezula to La Ceiba Honduras; several pages in small black print the first headed 'Arrival at Eucalyptus'; three pages of 'Notes on Coca: Authority: History of Coca by W.
