Formerly "Water Supply and Irrigation Papers"

#1-599 (this page) - - 600-999 - - 1,000-1,699 - - 1,700 & up

Each water supply paper is an in-depth professional scientific paper on one or more topics. Most are illustrated, often with color fold-out maps, some have photographs. I typically do not list the illustrations and fold-outs, as most of these older papers have them. Please ask if you need more information for any paper. These papers measure 6" x 9" and are softcover unless otherwise noted. Published by the Government Printing Office, Washington D.C.

Some of these papers come in series, with one volume printed each year for every location. They may be of greater interest when the data can be compared across a number of years and I want to assist my customers in this comparison. If you need help to find the correct series subtitle for your locale, please ask - I will need the name of your river or stream, your county and state.

Condition: Unless otherwise noted, the papers are in Good (G) to Very Good (VG) condition.
They are lightly used with clean text and tight bindings. Most have owner’s ID marks or stamps.
Lightly soiled covers and lightly bumped corners and edges are possible. Spines may be sunned or darkened.
Plate pockets in older Papers are often in poor condition, but the plates themselves are in G to VG condition unless otherwise noted.
Individual condition notes appear with each item. Please ask if you have questions or need more detail.
A listing like "24 plates (3 in pocket)" means 24 total plates with 21 plates bound in text and 3 folded in pocket.
