Excerpt from Ground Water in Boxelder and Tooele Counties, Utah The area covered by this report includes Boxelder County, Utah, the eastern part of Tooele County, Utah, and some small tracts in southern Idaho. It comprises about square miles, or more than the combined area of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It lies between 40 and 42 north latitude and 112 and 114 west longi tude. (see fig. Insufficient rainfall and the rapid settling of the country have created a demand for an investigation to determine the feasibility of irrigating by the use of underground water. In response to this demand and in order to classify the land under the enlarged home stead act, the writer made an investigation covering a period of four months during the summer and fall of 1911. The greater part of this time was spent in Boxelder County, but two weeks at the close of the season were devoted to a reconnaissance in Tooele, Rush, and Skull valleys, in Tooele County. W. B. Heroy, of the United States Geological Survey, collected most of the data presented for southern Idaho. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
