1 Surveys refer to index map (USGS contract number) of magnetic surveys.

2 Data type: A, data exist in "analog" form only--subsequently, maps were digitized from published versions; D, data exist as original "digital" flight-line data.

3 Flight-altitude: AG, survey originally flown "above ground" in draped mode at a constant elevation above terrain; B, survey originally flown at constant "barometric" elevation.

4 Reference cited: References refer to published versions of the individual aeromagnetic surveys used in the compilation
