Basin-fill thickness of the Arroyos and Northeast Air Force Research Laboratory areas, Edwards Air Force Base, California
September 30, 2025
This data release contains a gridded shapefile of basin-fill thickness constructed from geologic maps, gravity-derived depth to bedrock, and a digital elevation model. The data were generated by the U.S. Geological Survey under cooperative agreement with the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Center to characterize the hydrogeology of the Arroyos and Northeast Air Force Research Laboratory (NEAFRL) subareas of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), Mojave Desert, California. This dataset contains geospatial data of the land surface and subsurface geology in the study area.

Research and testing within the Air Force Research Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base in the southwestern Mojave Desert has been conducted since the 1950s. This testing requires large quantities of groundwater for cooling and operations involving hazardous constituents that have entered the groundwater. To better understand the potential movement of contaminants through the groundwater...
