Group: Summary
  Together with the  description of map units (btyrep.txt or
  btyrep.ps), and in  conjunction with the recently published Nevada
  Test Site Region map database (Sawyer  and others, 1995, USGS
  Open-File Report-567), the Beatty geologic map database  provides
  the most recent synthesis of the stratigraphy and structural geology
  of the  southwestern Nevada volcanic field, the Nevada Test Site,
  and the Yucca Mountain site.
  
  This geologic map database is a bedrock compilation of the Beatty
  30'x 60' quadrangle in  southern Nevada and adjoining parts of
  California.  The database represents a new  compilation at
  1:100,000-scale of the southern part of the southwestern Nevada
  volcanic  field and Paleozoic and late Precambrian sedimentary rocks
  in Bare Mountain and the  Funeral Mountains.  The map area includes
  the entire region around Yucca Mountain, the  proposed national
  high-level nuclear waste repository, and the eastern part of Death
  Valley National Park.  A major epithermal disseminated gold deposit
  is being mined at  Ladd Mountain, in the  southeastern Bullfrog
  Hills, and the geology of numerous other  areas of mineralization in
  the Bullfrog Hills and adjoining Bare Mountain is depicted.  A
  major part of the map area is included within the Nevada Test  Site
  (previously  geologically mapped at 1:24,000-scale, the new
  compilation reflects numerous recent  studies of stratigraphy and
  structure), and parts of the Nellis Air Force Base Bombing  Range.
