Book excerpt: 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.
