From abstract: Approximately fifty radioactive deposits and nearly fifty properties not abnormally radioactive were examined during a geologic reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in Idaho, Washington, and western Montana during the period July 1952 -- June 1955. The most important uranium deposits are in or near granitic to quartz monzonitic intrusions of probable Cretaceous age in central and northern Idaho, westernmost Montana, and northeastern Washington.

The following data report presents results of ground water and stream sediment reconnaissance in the Challis quadrangle, Idaho, where 1428 sediment samples were collected.

From purposes of approach of study: The purposes of this study were to: (1) Define, on a reconnaissance level, current (1979) water-quality conditions in major aquifers (water-yielding rock formations) in the eastern Snake River basin; (2) present available geologic and hydrologic data to assist in understanding the natural and man-caused factors that affect water-quality conditions; and (3) establish a hydrologic base upon which future comparisons can be made to evaluate changes.

From Introduction: "The Sandpoint Quadrangle (Fig. 1) was evaluated to define areas with geologic environments favorable for uranium deposits. Environments were evaluated on the basis of surface investigations because few subsurface data were available."

This report is the first volume of a two-part set documenting the results of the analyses of the airborne gamma radiation and total magnetic field survey that was flown for the Dillon National Topographic Map NL12-7.
