GIS REGIONAL SPATIAL DATA DOWNLOAD

Spatial data from the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy are all in Lambert Conformable Conic Projection

 

Projection: Lambert Datum: NAD 27
Longitude of central meridian: -117 First Standard Parallel: 33o
Latitude of projection origin: 0o Second Standard Parallel: 45o
False Easting: 0.0 False Northing: 0.0
 
Regional spatial data (suitable for geothermal exploration at scales of 1:250,000 and higher) is listed here, organized by topic. The data is in several ESRI formats, including shapefile, ESRI integer and real number grid format, and georeferenced TIFF image. Click on the 'More Information' hyperlink to view a more detailed explanation of the data, and download metadata only. Click on the 'Data and Metadata' hyperlink to download a compressed "zipped" file containing both the spatial data and the associated metadata.
