Description of Table:

    Survey No.: Internal USGS identification number.
    Survey Type: M = magnetics; R = radiometrics; EM = electromagnetic; D = digital data; Dz = digitized data; Dzg = digitized data-grid only.
    Survey Name: Internal project name (not always the name used in publication title).
    Flown By: Company or government agency who flew the original survey.
    Date Flown: Month indicated by query where uncertain.
    Spacing and Dir.: Primary flight-line spacing and primary flight-line direction.
    Altitude: Primary flight altitude in feet; B = barometric elevation; AG = above ground draped over topography.
    Datum: Indicates if a regional field was removed and, if it could be determined, the base value removed. Tot. (total) field = no regional field was removed. Arb. (arbitrary) datum = the base value removed was not stated on the map. DIGRF = Definitive Geomagnetic Reference Field; IGRFxx = International Geomagnetic Reference Field for the model year 19xx; IGRF2000 = International Geomagnetic Reference Field for the model year 2000; ? = unknown or unsure.
    Publication: Brief publication reference. USGS publications are listed as: Open-File Reports = OFyy-xxxx where yy is the publication year; Geophysical Maps = GP-xxxx; Bulletin = B; Professional Paper = P. Other publications: National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) = GJBX*.
