Figure 3 - Aeromagnetic map of the Long Valley Caldera.  Warm colors represent magnetic highs; cool colors represent magnetic lows.  The magnetic low in the northwestern portion of the caldera could possibly be due to hydrothermal alteration of the Bishop Tuff, whereas the magnetic high in the east is thought to represent the unaltered Bishop Tuff.  Data have been merged from Roberts and Jachens (1999).
