Snake River Plain Geothermal Play Fairway Analysis - Volcanic Vents, Lacustrine Sediments, and post-Miocene Faults KMZ files

Description

This dataset contain raw data files in kmz files (Google Earth georeference format). These files include volcanic vent locations and age, the distribution of fine-grained lacustrine sediments (which act as both a seal and an insulating layer for hydrothermal fluids), and post-Miocene faults compiled from the Idaho Geological Survey, the USGS Quaternary Fault database, and unpublished mapping. It also contains the Composite Common Risk Segment Map created during Phase 1 studies, as well as a file with locations of select deep wells used to interrogate the subsurface.

25 Distribution of sediments from paleo Lake Terreton. Estimated from data in Anderson et al 1996 (OFR96-248) and Anderson et al 1997 (OFR97-4010). Sediment layers generally fairly thin, https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/Lake%20Terreton%20%28paleo%20Mud%20Lake%29%20Seds%20Polygon.kmz
25 Distribution of lacustrine sediments deposited by paleo-Lake Idaho in the western Snake River Plain. Based on maximum extent of Pliocene/Pleistocene lake sediments, diatomites, shale, silt, +/- sandstone, ash layers. Includes algal reefs and oolite reefs. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/WSRP%20Lake%20Seds%20Polygon.kmz
25 Distribution of rhyolite domes and cryptodomes in the Snake River Plain. Compiled by Shervais and Glen from a range of sources. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/SRP_vents_17Sept2015_RhyoliteDomes.kmz
25 Distribution of ash flow vents marginal to the Snake River Plain. Compiled by Shervais and Glen from a range of sources. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/SRP_vents_17Sept2015_AshFlows.kmz
25 Composite Common Risk Segment Map produced during Phase 1 studies. Derived from ArcGIS raster map compiled on 2 km grid scale. Represents the weighted sum of the Heat, Permeability, and Seal Common Risk Segment maps. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/CCRS.kmz
25 Locations of select deep drill hole sites used to interrogate the subsurface for lithologic control. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/Idaho%20Drill%20Sites-LatLon.kmz
25 Distribution of basaltic vents in the Snake River Plain and adjacent regions. Compiled by Shervais and Glen from a range of sources. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/SRP_vents_17Sept2015_Basalt.kmz
25 Compilation of post-Miocene faults in southern Idaho and surrounding region. Dataset evaluated for dilation tendency and slip tendency. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/Final_SRP_Faults_Strain.kmz
25 Distribution of lacustrine sediments deposited by paleo-Lake Burley. Based on water well logs from IDWR, compiled by Neal Farmer Wells show that ancient Lake Burley extended north just past the topographic scarp of lava flows from Kimama Butte, and east to just past upper end of current Lake Walcott. Sediments up to 750 feet thick just north of current Snake River, but typically 100-200 feet thick farther north, at depths of 200-300 feet below surface. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/Lake%20Burley%20Seds%20Polygon.kmz
25 Distribution of paleo-Lake American Falls lacustrine sediments. Distribution of American Falls lake sediments estimated from Desbrough et al 1989 (OFR89-0436), Phillips and Welhan 2006a,b (DWM-77 and DWM-78), and Trimble & Carr 1961. AF Lake Beds range from about 20 ft thick on margins to over 100 ft thick along the axis of the lake, which was approxximately parallel to current Snake River. https://gdr.openei.org/files/734/American%20Falls%20Lake%20Seds%20Polygon.kmz
