Acknowledgments
We wish to thank the following student workers who assisted in the construction of the revised database and map by checking topographic maps, plotting and digitizing sites,
identifying site names, and a variety of other tasks: Ben Delwiche, Deborah Goetz, Tamison Irwin-Joyer, Joleen Ludwig, and Scott Phillips. We also thank Robert Chaney, Susan
Tingley, and Christine Arritt for their cartographic work and contributions.

8. Permitted Wells – This database is a list of all the geothermal wells on file at the
Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG). These files contain all the
geothermal well information available at the Nevada Division of Minerals since
they took over permitting such wells in 1985 (www.nbmg.unr.edu/
geothermal/mapfiles/permittedwells.xls). UTM locations were obtained using
section information or distance from section line data provided in the permit
application. Hence, many locations are approximate. Temperatures are not
known for all wells in this database. Not all wells have permit numbers assigned.

5. SMU (David Blackwell; http://www.smu.edu/geothermal) – This dataset includes
geothermal temperature and gradient data from exploration drill holes and heat
flow holes. These data are maintained by the Geothermal Laboratory at Southern
Methodist University. Wells with a gradient of <50°C/km and located in alluvium,
playas, landslides, or moraines were eliminated based on considerations of the
variations in gradient between alluvium and bedrock expected in an area with the
same heat flow (e.g., see Blackwell and Chapman, 1977). Location data for these
alluvial units were taken from a digital version of the 1:500,000-scale geologic
map of Nevada by Stewart and Carlson (1978). Note, the "hot" gradient holes
have gradients of ≥ 100°C/km. The subset of the data used in this map is located
at: www.nbmg.unr.edu/geothermal/mapfiles/smu-gradient.xls.

2. GEOTHERM (for Nevada) and other unpublished NBMG data, including locations
digitized from 7.5' topographic maps (www.nbmg.unr.edu/geothermal/
geochemdata/geotherm.htm) – Digitized wells and springs that were shown on the
maps as warm or hot are included, as are those identified as thermal based on a
record in GEOTHERM. Thermal gradients could not be calculated for many of the
well records, but records were retained if the well temperature was >10°C above
average annual surface temperature.

This map is a revision of previous map versions (e.g., Map 126, Shevenell and others,
2000; Map 141, Shevenell and Garside, 2003) and is a compilation of several
databases containing various information on thermal springs, geothermal wells in the
literature, geothermal wells permitted by the state of Nevada, and thermal gradient
wells. Where sufficient data were available from the individual databases, all springs
with a temperature of >10°C above average annual surface temperature and greater
than 20°C, and those noted as warm or hot were retained in the database (see
Houghton and others, 1975 for a map of mean annual surface temperatures). Wells
with temperatures >10°C above average annual surface temperature, and with
temperature gradients of >25°C/km were retained in the database. Thus, sites
potentially useful for direct-use applications (e.g., onion drying, aquaculture, spas,
space heating, and gold heap leaching) are included on the map. Questionable
records were eliminated from each database. The categories of thermal sites included
on the map are (1) springs with temperatures ≤ 37°C or those identified as warm, (2)
springs with temperatures >37°C or those identified as hot, (3) wells with
temperatures ≤ 37°C or those identified as warm, (4) wells with temperatures >37°C or
those identified as hot, selected thermal gradient wells as described below, and (6)
geothermal wells permitted with the state of Nevada. Thermal waters encountered in
mines are indicated with the well symbol. The databases plotted on this map were
obtained from the following sources:
