Principal facts for a gravity survey of the Fly Ranch Extension Known Geothermal Resource Area, Pershing County, Nevada

January 1, 1978

During July 1977, forty-four gravity stations were obtained in the Fly Ranch Extension Known-Geothermal Resource Area and vicinity, northwestern Nevada. Elevations for three stations were estimated from lake bed topographic contours. Horizontal and vertical positions for stations FREX33 through FREX43 were determined from plane-table surveying. Positions for the remaining stations were taken from benchmarks or spot elevations shown on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps at scales of 1:24,000.
