Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the Geology of Southwestern Idaho and Southeastern Oregon
During the reconnaissance I was assisted by Mr. Scott Turner and Mr. Robert H. Dawson, students of the University of Michigan. Our journey began at Boise, Idaho, on July 6, and ended at the same place on September 6, 1902. The route followed was planned so as to traverse as many as possible of the valleys of southwestern Idaho and southeastern Oregon, in which rich agricultural land is plentiful and where artesian conditions are most likely to be present. Portions of Canyon and Owyhee counties, Idaho, and of Malheur and Harney counties, Oreg, were examined; but it is not to be understood that anything like a geological survey of the immense territory included in these counties was undertaken. This paper is Simply an account of observations made during a rapid reconnaissance, principally in the way of supplementing the study of artesian conditions, and should not be judged in any other light.

Notes on the Geology of Southwestern Idaho and Southeastern Oregon
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book summarizes the geological observations author Israel C. Russell made during a scientific expedition through southwest Idaho and southeast Oregon in 1902. Such expeditions were common in the years following the civil war as the US government sought to map and record the resources of its vast new territories. Russell's work forms part of this tradition and provides an illuminating snapshot of the geology of this specific region at a particular moment in time, highlighting its geography, climate, plant life, and the presence of recent volcanic activity. The author includes the outcome of his observations on the potential for artesian wells to irrigate the arid valleys of the region, a topic of pressing concern as settlers increasingly moved into the area, and industrial agriculture replaced subsistence farming. This book is a trove of detailed observations of the geology and related natural history of the region and will be a joy to anyone interested in the historical interaction of science and the development of the American West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
