Oster EA and Hampton ER. 1967. Water supply for Oregon Caves National Monument, southwestern Oregon. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 67-172. United States Geological Survey. Portland, OR

"In May 1966 the National Park Service requested the Geological Survey to investigate the water resources of Oregon Caves National Monument and adjacent national forest land. Emphasis was to e on possible well sites and the dependable flow of springs and streams near the residence area. The Park Service needs this information to plan future development. Accordingly, on May 24, 1966, R. B. Sanderson, E. R. Hampton, and L. L. Hubbard of the Geological Survey visited the monument to meet park personnel. The conference was followed by a reconnaissance of streams and springs and of the geology of the area. This report presents quantitative information on the availability and chemical quality of present and potential sources of water supply for the area. The report was prepared by the Water Resources Division of the Geological Survey, under the direction of Stanley F. Kapustka, district chief."
