  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Geologic Interpretation of the Geothermal Potential of the North Bonneville Area Author: Nielson, D.L. Year: 1980 Possible geothermal development for the township of North Bonneville, Washington is being investigated because of the proximity of the town to hot springs in a geologic province of good geothermal potential. Surface expression of geothermal resources is provided by conduits through an impermeable reservoir cap and is therefore generally structurally controlled. Near North Bonneville the geologic formations that underlie potential drilling sites are the Eagle Creek formation and the Ohanpecosh Formation. The Lower Miocene Eagle Creek Formation is composed of poorly consolidated volcanic conglomerates, sandstOnes, tuffs, and includes a few minor interbedded lava flows. The Eocene-Oligiocene Ohanapecosh (Weigle) Formation in its nearest exposures to North Bonneville is composed of Volcaniclastics and lava flows. The Ohanapecosh has been altered to zeolites and clays and is therefore Well consolidated and impermeable. The lack of permeability provides the necessary reservoir cap for any geothermal system that may be present at depth. This formation, to the northeast, in the Wind River drainage is greater than 19,000 ft. thick. Circulation of geothermal heated water from this thick sequence of impermeable strata must be associated with penetrating fracture zones Title: Geologic Interpretation of the Geothermal Potential of the North Bonneville Area Author: Nielson, D.L.

The river is on the right and can be seen flowing off into the distance, with both riverbanks visible. A dirt road extends from the left foreground of the image to the front of the building where a vintage automobile, possibly from the 1920s or 1930s, is parked. A pole with an American flag is situated in front of the building. There are tall, thin conifer trees growing on the hillside leading down to the river and some shrubs growing along the edge of the roadway.

In the foreground are rock outcrops; the hill down which we gaze is covered with grasses and other plants. The meadow extends down the hill; on the flatter areas of the riverbank near the town is cropland to the right and an area forested with conifers to the left. A road winds its way through the picture, and some town buildings are visible. Beyond flows the Columbia River, and behind it the bluffs that rise up to the Columbia Plateau on the Oregon side of the river.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Euphrates ferry boat, Tellel-Abmar Year: 1900 In the time of the ancient glory of Mesopotania when Babylon and Nineveh crowned the plains, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flowed in separate channels to the Persian Gulf. Now, however, owing to the silting up of the old beds, their waters unite a few miles from the coast into one stream, the Shat-el-Arab. This shallow, muddy river is bordered for miles with groves of date palms. The plantations stretching off into the country on either side supply the greater part of the world with dates.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Jordan and the Promised Land Year: 1910 Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The Jordan rises west of Mt. Hermon and after spreading out into Lake Mermon and the sea of Galilee, discharges its waters into the Dead Sea, 1292 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. From Lake Mermon to the Dead Sea, which has no outlet and is a body of salt water, the course of the Jordon is below sea level. The Valley of the Jordon the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee occupy a portion of the long narrow depression in the surface of the earth. At the east and west margins of the depression there are great fissures of breaks in the rocks and the land between these fissures has fallen or been drawn in toward the center of the earth. The Jordon varies in width from 30 to 70 yards, but in January and February it over flows its banks and is from a half-mile to two miles wide. The soil in the valley is very rich except near the Dead Sea. In Mid-winter the landscape is green with grass and bright with flowers, but in summer it has the general appearance of a desert."
