1Survey no.: Internal U.S. Geological Survey identification number.
2Survey type: D, digital data; Dg, digital data—grid only; Dz, digitized data, Dzg, digitized data—grid only; M, magnetics; R, radiometrics.
3Survey name: Internal project name (may not be name used in publication title).
4Flown by: Company or government agency that flew the original survey.
5Spacing and Dir: Primary flight-line spacing and primary flight-line direction.
6Altitude: Primary flight altitude. AG, above ground and draped over topography; B, barometric elevation.
7Datum: Original magnetic reference field datum used by contractor. Indicates if a regional field was removed and, if it could be determined, the base value removed. Total field, no regional field was removed; arbitrary datum, base value removed was not stated on the map. DIGRF, definitive geomagnetic reference field; IGRFxx, international geomagnetic reference field for the model year 19xx; ?, unknown.
8Publication: Brief publication reference. U.S. Geological Survey publications: GP, Geophysical Investigation Maps; MF, Miscellaneous Field Investigations Maps;
