Data

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have collaborated to acquire high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric data, over the Salton Trough in southern California, to support geologic and geophysical mapping and modeling that will assist geothermal and critical mineral studies. The surveys, referred to as GeoFlight spans an area that contains some of...

This data release provides Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant GIS data for new geologic mapping of the Bison Range and surrounding area on the Flathead Reservation, northwestern Montana. The database represents the geology for the 150 square kilometer, geologically complex map area, at a publication scale of 1:24,000. The map covers parts of Sanders and Lake Counties, Montana. All...

Radon is an odorless and invisible radioactive gas that is naturally released from rocks, soil, and water. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Surgeon General, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Recent epidemiological studies have also identified linkages between radon exposure and cerebrovascular diseases including...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey evaluated geomorphic conditions within Fern Ridge Lake near Eugene, Oregon, to inform cultural resources management and other natural resources decisions. Reservoir erosion and deposition during seasonal flood-control operations have formed a diverse array of landforms that can impact water storage, aquatic...

This dataset is associated with a study that sought to determine if large woody debris would be an effective, low-cost method of stream restoration in urban headwater streams. The data were collected before and after large woody debris was added to Cooper Creek, an urban headwater stream in Cincinnati, OH. The data were collected in four 60-meter reaches, which included two treatment...

In cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected groundwater levels, geophysical logs, and video logs at eight monitoring wells from the Camas prairie, Idaho, between November 5 and November 8, 2024. The Camas Prairie (study area) is an intermountain basin of southern Idaho, located 75 miles east-southeast from the state’s...

In cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected groundwater levels, geophysical logs, and video logs at four newly constructed monitoring wells from the Mountain Home area, Idaho, between November 12 and November 14, 2024. The Mountain Home area is located in the western Snake River plain, 40 miles to the southeast from the state...

New geophysical data, including density and magnetic susceptibility measurements, were collected in the Grouse Creek and Utah part of the Jackpot 30' x 60' quadrangles in Box Elder County, Utah and Cassia County, Idaho. The release contains 324 new gravity measurements merged with a 2013 compilation. These data were inverted for basin thickness and basement density variations. The...

In 2020, Cascade Drilling, contracted by Rizzo International, Inc., drilled and constructed corehole CFPP-B01 (USGS Site 433814113031801) for stratigraphic framework analysis. The corehole is located along the western boundary of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) just south of State Highway 33 in southeastern Idaho. Corehole CFPP-B01 was continuously cored from approximately 4 to 1538...

This product is a georectified and tonally balanced mosaic of aerial photographs collected in 1930 by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation along a portion of the floodplain of the Colorado River in Palo Verde Valley, Arizona and California. This dataset is a primary resource for the development of a surficial geologic map showing the floodplain and river channel characteristics along the...

The products provided here include four georectified mosaics of historic aerial photographs for the Parker Valley region within western Arizona and southeastern California. There are three individual mosaics from 1930, 1938, and 1947 covering different geographic areas. The fourth georectified mosaic is a composite of the three and covers the entire area of interest. These datasets were...

In cooperation with the Georgia Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has prepared geospatial layers representing the locations of USGS streamgages, other weather monitoring locations, and upstream drainage basins of streamgages in the State of Georgia. These layers also include streamgages in nearby states which directly measure waters within Georgia. The...
