美国地理学会(National Geographical Society)于1988年1月13日庆祝建会100周年。它在地理学普及和广泛宣传有关我们星球地理知识方面作出了重大贡献。北美洲辽阔地域的开发为地理学研究活动和地理学的发展提供了广阔的天地。在美国地理学会(建于1852年,于纽约)的面前就提出了这样的一些任务。但是为了对国家自然宝藏进行深入的研究和开发,仅靠这个科学—社会组织的力量显然是不够的。这就促使联邦政府在十九世纪下半叶组织了几个大的考察队(Кинга,Уэйлера等),以后又建立了一系列国家机构,创建于1879年的地质局就是其中的一个。
The National Geographical Society celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding on January 13, 1988. It has made a significant contribution to the popularization of geography and the wide dissemination of knowledge about the geography of our planet. The development of vast areas in North America provides a vast space for the development of geography and geography. Some of these tasks were presented before the American Geographical Society (founded in 1852 in New York). However, in order to conduct in-depth research and development on the natural treasures of the country, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on this scientific-social organization. This prompted the federal government to organize several large expedition teams (Кинга, Уэйлера, etc.) in the second half of the nineteenth century and later to establish a series of national institutions. The geological bureau, founded in 1879, is one of them.
