Description An aeromagnetic map of the Death Valley groundwater model area was prepared from published aeromagnetic surveys as part of an interagency effort by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Energy to help characterize the geology and hydrology

Overview of attributes

The databases described in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO,
a commercial Geographic Information System by Environmental
Systems Research Institute.  Almost all the attributes in the
various attribute tables of the coverages included in the report
are set or calculated by ARC/INFO.  The exceptions being <COVER>-
ID, LINETYPE, UNIT, POINTTYPE, PATTERN, STRIKE, and DIP.
LINETYPE, UNIT and POINTTYPE are author added aspects of the
coverages added to the PAT or AAT and are used to describe the
type of line (LINETYPE), area (UNIT), point or arcmarker (
POINTTYPE).  LINETYPE and POINTTYPE are each defined with WIDTH
50, OUTPUT 50, and TYPE C (character).  UNIT is defined with WIDTH
8, OUTPUT 8, and TYPE C.  STRIKE and DIP are only present in UINK_
POINT.PAT, because they describe bedding orientation of point
objects.  Each is defined with WIDTH and OUTPUT of 3, and TYPE I (
integer).  PATTERN was another author-added attribute only in
UINK_POINT.PAT, and is defined by WIDTH 3, OUTPUT 3, and TYPE I.
The data in PATTERN correlates directly with specific values in
the UNIT field.
