Hydraulic head anomalously high. Symbol color on map indicates rock type at opening
Well open to volcanic aquifer and local or regional carbonate aquifer
Borehole on section with name—Gray circle and bold name identify borehole on section only
Borehole nameJ-12 WW
Hydraulic head measurement location—Shows name of borehole used to develop potentiometric contours in the regional alluvial-volcanic aquifer
Local groundwater system—Defined by permeable alluvial and volcanic rock of limited extent. Downward leakage is source of localized or diffuse flow to underlying flow system
Regional groundwater flow—Arrow indicates regional flow direction. Arrow width indicates relative flow volume. Arrow and flow-system outline color identifies downgradient flow system. Shading color delineates tributary flow system or flow system labeled on map. The mapped locations of the boundaries of the tributary flow systems and flow systems could be in error by several miles
19 Boundary of Nevada Test Site—Dashed line indicates boundaries of internal operational areas at Nevada Test Site. Number identifies operational area
