  Description:
    Abstract:
      This map covers the southern part of the Funeral Mountains, and parts of four adjacent structural basins-a total area of ~950 square kilometers.  Map boundaries were drawn to include all of the known proximal hydrogeologic features that may affect the flow of groundwater that discharges from the springs of the Furnace Creek wash area, in the west-central part of the map.  These springs provide the major potable water supply for Death Valley National Park.
      The hydrogeologic features covered by this map include: (1) the springs discussed above, (2) an active seep and much larger Pleistocene ground-water discharge deposits on the northeastern side of the mountains, (3) the exposed extent of the Paleozoic rocks that constitute the Paleozoic carbonate aquifer, where saturated, (4) the exposed extent of the alluvial conglomerates that constitute the Funeral Formation aquifer, where saturated.  The map also shows the structural data that was collected so that bedding and fault surfaces could be projected to depth.
    Purpose: This map was made, in cooperation with, and as part of a program by, the Inyo County, CA Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Project, to investigate interbasin flow under the southern Funeral Mountains.  Understanding interbasin flow is key to assessing the potential that radionuclides from the proposed high-level nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, could leak into, and through, the Paleozoic carbonate aquifer, to discharge from the springs of the Furnace Creek wash area, ~50 km southeast of the proposed repository. The geologic map data have been used, along with measured formation thicknesses, to generate a structure contour (subsurface) map on the base of the Paleozoic carbonate and Funeral Formation aquifer system.  This subsurface map is included in this report.  Both the geologic surface map and the derivative subsurface map have been used by Inyo County, CA as an input to the design of a hydrologic drilling program, and as the basis for a computer model of the ground-water flow that feeds the Furnace Creek springs (Bredehoeft and others, 2005; 2008).

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      Data were entered by GIS technician and authors and checked by the geologist
      that made the field observations. The attributes of this geospatial data set consist of
      text identifiers and numeric codes that indicate the identity of the geologic unit or type
      of geologic feature and determine how each feature is colored or symbolized.  To
      check attribute accuracy a color check plot was visually compared to the geologist's original compilation.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features,
    polygon closure, and other errors by the author and by the GIS technician(s) that created
    the digital database.  Automated (ArcInfo) routines were also used to check the databases
    for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs,
    intersection errors, and projection information.  Check plots of the map were reviewed by at
    least two other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity
    to USGS mapping standards.
  Completeness_Report:
    Data are complete: no features that could be accurately represented at the
    compilation scale of 1:50,000 were eliminated or generalized.  All geospatial database elements are attributed.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Whereas previous maps were locally used for guidance, all lines were drawn using a PG-2 Stereo Plotter and modern 1:80,000 diapositive airphotos.  Accuracy of location of contacts, through use of the PG-2 Stereo Plotter, is generally ~5 to 10 meters; however, geological uncertainty in the location of some contacts may locally be as much as 50 m.
