NBMG Maps - Published Geothermal Maps of Nevada and the Great Basin

 

NBMG Map 151: Geothermal Potential Map of the Great Basin, Western United States  Coolbaugh et al (2005) used GIS-based weights of evidence and logistic regression to combine five evidence layers into a predictive map of geothermal favorability. See our GIS Models page for further details.

NBMG Open File Map 09-10: Geothermal Favorability and Exploration Activity Map of Nevada  Zehner et al (2009) mapped geothermal favorability and exploration activity in two side-by-side maps. The geothermal producing potential of Nevada is categorized from low to high, based on geological, geochemical, and thermal data (Full text).

NBMG Map 141: Nevada Geothermal Resources Shevenell and Garside (2005) created a map of Nevada thermal features, including warm and hot springs, wells, temperature gradient holes, permitted geothermal well locations, geothermal power plants, direct use facilities, and transmission lines.  See our Interactive Map 141 as well.

NBMG Map 161: Nevada Geothermal Resources Update Penfield et al (2010) updated the 2005 map of Nevada thermal features, including warm and hot springs, wells, temperature gradient holes, shallow temperature surveys, permitted geothermal well locations, geothermal power plants, direct use facilities, and transmission lines.
