A brief discussion of the programs follows. Cooperative Mapping Program (U.s.G.S.) TOpographic mapping in California has been on a coopera- tive basis since 1904, state contributions having ranged from $3,000 in that year to $355,000 in 1959-60. Priorities assigned are (1) presently unmapped areas, (2) areas formerly mapped to presently unsatisfactory standards, (3) areas where larger scale maps are needed, and (4) areas where revisions of culture are needed. The last unmapped area is scheduled for completion in Fiscal Year 1963. Remapping of areas in priorities 2 and 3 will probably require another ten years. Map maintenance under priority 4 is, of course, a continuing program. Stream Flow Measuring Program (U.S.G.S.) The Federal Government has maintained a stream flow measuring program in California since 1894. State participation started in 1903. Of the more than ,700 gaging stations presently operated by the Geological Survey in California, 385 are operated under the Federal-State matching fund program. During Fiscal Year 1959-60 the State's contribution will be about $364,000. -j .' -..:l,- _ --~, . t~
