Foreword
This volume, dedicated to the memory of George Burke Maxey as a
scientific leader, has many points in common with the canonization of a
religious leader. The volume includes chiefly the works of men who were
Dr. Maxey’s students and followers; thus it corresponds to the Acts of the
Apostles, in an earlier testamentary volume that was first published for
English readers in A.D. 1611. Professor Ven Te Chow was a contemporary
of Dr. Maxey throughout most of the latter’s teaching career which began
in his early 30’s. And Ven covers this academic activity more clearly and
concisely than would have been possible if a four-man committee had been
appointed, and each wrote a separate gospel.
For every leader there are formative years -the years before he becomes
great or even shows promise of greatness - and these years are commonly
slighted or even lost in history. Of all writers in this memorial volume, only
we, the undersigned, knew him in these early, struggling years. We knew him
as Burke, before he had bowed to the conformity implicit in government
payroll designation as “George B.” We knew him as a budding junior geologist
and blooming assistant geologist. As to the science of hydrology, we
baptized him in the faith.
The first fruit of Burke’s B.S. in geology was a field assistantship for
Smithsonian Institution in the Canadian Rockies, where he acquired a gourmet
taste for Cambrian trilobites on the halfshell. Early in 1942 he was
introduced to groundwater by the U.S. Geological Survey in Utah, under
the tutelage of P. Eldon Dennis. In his first field study - in the aptly-named
Flowell district of central Utah - he frequently looked beyond the limits
of the groundwater reservoir and toward the headwaters of tributary streams,
high in the Pavant Range. His disciples woulc doubtless take this as early
recognition by Burke of the interrelations of snow on the mountains, the
runoff therefrom, and the artesian water in the lowlands. But there were
also trilobites in them thar mountains. His continuing taste for them is well
confirmed in his Ph.D. thesis published in 1957. After about a year of
groundwater apprenticeship in Utah, Burke’s services were urgently required
in Louisville, Kentucky, where he acquired a deep and abiding appreciation
of arid spaces and their hydrology.
In 1944 George B. Maxey, assistant geologist of USGS, was transferred to
Las Vegas, Nevada, to commence a study of the Las Vegas and Pahrump
Ground Water Basins, a cooperative study between the State of Nevada and
USGS . Following completion of these studies in southern Nevada he joined
with Thomas Eakin of USGS to study groundwater conditions in several of
the groundwater basins and valleys of eastern Nevada. In 1948 he left Nevada
for graduate study at Princeton University. He spent the next 13 years
teaching in the East (University of Connecticut) and Middle West (University
of Illinois), with a two-year interim of groundwater studies in the Middle
East (Libya).
In October 1961 while at the University of Illinois, Dr. Maxey was invited
to present a paper at the Annual Nevada Water Conference. Professor Wenddl
Mordy, Director of the newly formed Desert Research Institute was favorably
impressed and invited George to join the institute staff; and in 1962 he
became a member of the institute and research professor of hydrology and
geology at the University of Nevada. In mid-1967 he was appointed Head of
the Center for Water Resources of the Desert Research Institute, a position
he held until his death in February 1977.
