Derkey, P. D. and Johnson, B. R, 1995, Digital maps of low- to moderate-

temperature geothermal springs and wells in the Pacific Northwest:  

a contribution to the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project:  

U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-689, 11 p. plus 3 plates. 

 

This report describes the contents of a digital dataset (approximately 

7 MB) which consists of ARC/INFO Export format files and associated macro 

programs.  The dataset includes a map of low- to moderate-temperature 

geothermal springs and a map of low- to moderate-temperature wells in the  

northwestern U.S. north of 39 degrees N latitude and west of approximately 

108 degrees W longitude compiled from digital datasets for the states of 

California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.  

 

The dataset also includes macro programs and complete plot files for creating 

paper copies of the map.  A page-sized, color version of the map is included 

in this report as well as a description of how to obtain the dataset over the 

Internet. 

 

Requirements:  A networked computer system is required to copy the dataset 

from the host computer across the Internet.  A Geographic Information System 

capable of importing ARC/INFO Export format files is required for access to the 

digital files.  All plot files are stored in HPGL2 format.  The digital dataset 

files are in UNIX ASCII format.
