Aeromagnetic Map of the Death Valley Ground-water Model Area, Nevada and California

An aeromagnetic map of the Death Valley groundwater model area was prepared
from published aeromagnetic surveys as part of an interagency effort by the
U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Energy to help characterize
the geology and hydrology of southwest Nevada and parts of California.

This dataset was completed in support of the Death Valley Ground-Water Basin
regional flow model funded by the U.S. Department of Energy in conjunction with
the U. S. Geological Survey and U.S. National Park Service. The proposed model
is intended to address issues concerning the availability of water in Death
Valley National Park and surrounding counties of Nevada and California and the
migration of contaminants off of the Nevada Test Site and Yucca Mountain
high-level waste repository.
