Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report presents the results of a mineral survey of the Hercules Glades Wilderness in the Mark Twain National Forest, Taney County, Missouri.
In cooperation with the Wallace CUSMAP effort, the Computerized Resources Information Bank, CRIB, compiled mineral occurrence records for the area of study from approximately the Fall of 1979 through Spring, 1981. These records contain location, commodity, deposit, geologic, and reference information culled from published sources and Forest Service, Bureau of Mines, and U.S. Geological Survey unpublished files. This information was used to prepare the mineral occurrence map for the Wallace 1° X 2° area during the summer of 1981. The user should be aware that attempts to list or attribute early prospects/names under later names or consolidated workings were not always successful. Multiple occurrences, prospects, or mines plotting at the same locations and having similar commodity and other descriptive information were assummed to be a single occurrence referenced under different names at different times. This listing is probably greater than 95% complete for metallics, which was the emphasis of the collection effort and much less complete for non-metal!ics. Appendix A contains an index of those metal, flourite, and barite occurrences used for the CUSMAP compilation in order by deposit number, referencing the proper CRIB Record_ID's. The tables also include latitude, longitude, and commodities present. Appendix B contains an alphabetical listing of the major references used to compile the CRIB records. Appendix C contains examples of two of the CRIB records. A listing of the numeric codes used for drainage area, physiographic province, land classification, and status of exploration are contained in the CRIB user's packet, which may be obtained by contacting:
