Map showing reconnaissance geochemistry in the gold-pyrophyllite belt of northwestern Moore County, North Carolina

Traces of gold and molybdenum are widely disseminated in an area approximately 35 km long and 10 km wide in northwestern Moore County, N.C.  At least 2540 oz. of gold were recovered from 16 or more mines and prospects between 1880 and 1910.  One hundred and ninety rock samples out of 244 collected from old gold mines, pyrophyllite deposits and along roads contain gold quantities ranging from 0.02

Map showing the oxygen isotope composition of granitoid rocks of the Basin-Range province

This map presents oxygen suite of granitoid rocks from Province of Nevada, Utah, isotope data for a the Basin and Range California, and Arizona. Two random samples were collected each of two randomly selected plutons within 1° x 1° area. For this study, only the m.nnbered sample was analyzed except in instance when sample GR-128 was substituted its odd-numbered counterpart (CR-127), which lost.

Map showing vegetation distribution in the central part of the East Tintic Mountains, Utah

With the development of remote sensing technology has come the capability of defining and mapping plant communities by means of their spectral properties.  Such maps will be an important aid in resource evaluation and management, especially in densely vegetated and remote areas of the world. This study in part of a broader program to determine the usefulness of multispectral scanner aircraft and s
