Sketches Of The Physical Geography And Geology Of Nebraska PDF Download

Excerpt from Geography of Nebraska There is a lack of geography literature in Nebraska. Various state and United States publications have been issued, but most of them are now not accessible, and none of them were written for use in schools. This elementary text is intended primarily for use in the graded and rural schools. However, its subjects are presented in a way that may recommend the book to general readers as well, in the absence of a more complete treatment of the subject. The subject matter of the volume is based for the most part on the author's personal experience in the state while working on the Nebraska Geological Survey, Nebraska Soil Survey and for the United States Geological Survey. The author has also obtained data from publications of the following authors: Barbour, Bessey, Blackman, Clements, Darton, Johnson, Lyon, Loveland, Sheldon, Swezey and Todd. A few references are cited in each chapter. Of these, the topographic maps and folios shown by plate III, though inexpensive, are very important for class studies. The price of the maps is ten cents each, or, at wholesale, six dollars a hundred, except the Omaha Specials, which are ten cents each. The folios are twenty-five cents each. These and all other geological publications of the National Government, when accessible, may be obtained from the Director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. Part IV of the XXI and XXII Annual Reports, Professional Papers 17 and 32, and Water Supply Papers 12, 29, 70, are among the valuable Nebraska references which have been issued by the United States Geological Survey. If accessible, these and volume one of the Nebraska Geological Survey should be consulted freely by the teacher.
