Gravity and ground magnetic surveys of the Central Mineral Mountains, Utah. Volume 6. Final report. [Roosevelt Hot Springs KGRA]
During the summers of 1974 and 1975, gravity and ground magnetic surveys were made over the central part of the Mineral Mountains and vicinity, Utah. The gravity survey comprised 627 gravity stations over an area of approximately 660 sq km, and included 8 gravity profiles over the Roosevelt Hot Springs KGRA. The magnetic survey comprised over 400 magnetic stations within 4 magnetic profiles. The gravity data were compiled as a terrain-corrected Bouguer gravity anomaly map with a contour interval of 2 mgal. The gravity features include: (1) generally northward-trending gravity contours with gradients along the margins of the Mineral Range, indicating that the range is a horst bounded on the east and west by the Beaver and Milford valley grabens, respectively, where the Milford Valley graben shows pronounced gravity low, which indicates a valley-fill thickness of about 1.8km; and (2) a northward-trending gravity high extends along the western flank of the Mineral Range (probably caused by high-density metamorphic rocks).
