  Description:
    Abstract:
      This shapefile displays geothermal systems in nevada that
      are either currently producing electrical power, or have
      produced at least some high-temperature fluids (>150 C)
      from geothermal wells.
    Purpose:
      For geologic, mineral, or geothermal exploration
      For targeting high-temperature geothermal systems
