Study Area Boundary and Surficial Hydrogeologic Units for the Great Basin Hydrologic Province and a portion of the Northern Mojave Desert
December 16, 2025
This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents the study area boundary and surficial hydrogeologic units for the Great Basin Hydrologic Province and a portion of the Northern Mojave Desert. The study area boundary delineates a spatial extent defined to include the Great Basin Hydrologic Province and a portion of the Northern Mojave Desert. Within this boundary, surficial hydrogeologic units polygons represent two hydrogeologic classes, subdivided into nine hydrogeologic units. Each unit includes associated geologic information and estimated ranges of horizontal hydraulic conductivity.

In 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiated a rule to protect ground water in areas other than source-water protection areas. These other sensitive ground water areas (OSGWAs) are aquifers that are not currently but could eventually be used as a source of drinking water. The OSGWA program specifically addresses existing wells that are used for underground injection of...
