The complete Bouguer gravity map of the Nevada part of the Goldfield and Mariposa 2/sup 0/ sheets results from a compilation of gravity data from several sources. The majority of these data were obtained by field crews from the U.S. Geological Survey; however, some data from the U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Mapping Agency, are scattered over the map. East of long 117/sup 0/15', most of the gravity stations were obtained as part of the gravity survey of the Nevada Test Site and adjacent areas. In the vicinity of Yucca Flat (southeast corner of map), the gravity stations are too numerous to show. The purpose of this map is to make these gravity data available to the public.
