Principal facts for a gravity survey of the Double Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area, Humboldt County, Nevada

January 1, 1978

During July 1977, forty-nine gravity stations were obtained in the Double Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area and vicinity, northwestern Nevada. Elevations for twenty-two stations were estimated from lake bed topographic contours. Horizontal positions for these stations were determined from topographic maps and vehicle odometer. Elevations for stations DBLD34 and DBLD35 were determined with altimeters. Positions for the remaining stations were taken from spot elevations shown on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps at scales of 1:24,000.
