Summary
This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains data for Smith and Mason Valleys, California and Nevada, from the 2009 publication: Lopes, T.J.,and Allander, K.K., 2009, Hydrologic Setting and Conceptual Hydrologic Model of the Walker River Basin, West-Central Nevada: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2009–5155, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20095155. Data include (1) 1:24,000-scale hydrographic areas, (2) selected well sites used to develop autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours, and (3) autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours. Since the publication of Lopes and Allander (2009), the positional coordinates and land-surface altitudes at selected well sites used to develop autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours in [...]

This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains data for Smith and Mason Valleys, California and Nevada, from the 2009 publication: Lopes, T.J.,and Allander, K.K., 2009, Hydrologic Setting and Conceptual Hydrologic Model of the Walker River Basin, West-Central Nevada: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2009–5155, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20095155. Data include (1) 1:24,000-scale hydrographic areas, (2) selected well sites used to develop autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours, and (3) autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours. Since the publication of Lopes and Allander (2009), the positional coordinates and land-surface altitudes at selected well sites used to develop autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours in that report were updated as part of a 2022 U.S. Geological Survey study (Davies and Naranjo, 2022).
Supplemental Data: Estimated effects of pumping on groundwater in storage and the efficiency of stream conveyance in the Walker River, Smith and Mason Valleys, west-central Nevada
These data were created as part of a 2009 U.S. Geological Survey cooperative study with the Bureau of Reclamation (Lopes and Allander, 2009) to describe the hydrologic setting of the Walker River basin and a conceptual hydrologic model of the relations among streams, groundwater, and Walker Lake. The intended uses of this dataset include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
