DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/677017· OSTI ID:677017

In 1997 the US Geological Survey made 36 direct current (dc) electrical soundings in the Oasis Valley near Beatty, Nevada, using the Schlumberger array. The soundings were made to determine the resistivity structure as an aid in evaluating the hydrological conditions. The purpose of this report is to present the sounding data and its automatic interpretation. Figure 1 is a map of the sounding locations, number and direction of expansion of the Schlumberger array. The soundings are represented by circles and the direction of expansion by short bold lines adjacent to the circles. Table 1 gives the sounding number, x coordinate, y coordinate, and elevation of the soundings. The x and y coordinates are in kilometers UTM zone 11 using the North American horizontal datum of 1927. The elevations are in feet using the North American vertical datum of 1929. 5 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
