The lake was formed upon completion of the Davis Dam in 1953. No mapping of the floor of the lake had been conducted since completion of the Davis Dam. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with researchers from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, completed a geophysical survey of this lake in April 2002. The survey included collection of sidescan sonar imagery of nearly the entire lake floor, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles along widely spaced lines throughout the lake. The detailed mapping of the lake floor was used to determine the amount of sediment that had accumulated in the lake since impoundment, its distribution, and the processes of deposition. Purpose: This shapefile defines the tracklines along which sidescan-sonar data were collected.

Additional error is encountered because the fish navigation is based on a transponder range to fish calculation. Furthermore, the navigation was downsampled so that the most accurate navigation positions are the vertex points of the line. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Navigation was acquired by a Hypack navigation system and stored with the Edgetech sidescan sonar data on a QMIPS computer data acquisition system. A unique navigation point was sent to the acquisition system approximately every 10 seconds. Upon extracting the sidescan-sonar data from the acquisition system, the navigation was downsampled to 1 minute intervals. Process_Step: Process_Description: This 1 minute navigation was then reviewed for errors and sometimes further downsampled to enable the swath of sidescan-sonar imagery to have a smooth track. Process_Step: Process_Description: An AWK script was then used to reformat the individual navigation files and combine them into one comma delimited text file appropriate for importing into ArcView.
