Complete Bouguer gravity map of the Tonopah 1/sup 0/ x 2/sup 0/ quadrangle, Nevada

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5246045

The complete Bouguer gravity map of the Tonopah 1/sup 0/ x 2/sup 0/ quadrangle is a compilation of 3,346 gravity stations. Data for the majority of these stations were measured by field crews from the US Geological Survey. Data for 193 stations were obtained from the repository files of the US Department of Defense, Gravity Surveys Division, and are widely scattered over the map. Data for 127 stations were obtained from Northwestern University and are located in the western part of the map. The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology also established 146 stations in the area around Tonopah. The gravity-station values have all been converted to the International Gravity Standardization Network datum and the map is machine contoured.
