Map showing aeromagnetic interpretation of the Baker-Cypress BLM Instant Study Area and Timbered Crater Forest Service Further Planning Areas, Modoc, Shasta, and Siskiyou counties, California

January 1, 1981

The data for the aeromagnetic map of the Baker-Cypress and Timbered crater areas were collected in 1978 and compiled at a scale of 1 :62,500 (U,S, Geological Survey, 1979). East-west traverses were spaced at 0.8-km intervals at a constant altitude of 1370 m (4500 ft) above sea level, Contour interval is 20 and 100 gammas, depending upon the steepness of local gradients in the Earth's magnetic field. A regional magnetic field (the International Geomagnetic Reference Field - 1975, updated to the month flown) of approximately 5-6 gammas/km was removed from the data be fore con touring.
