Collection of reports containing from one to up to several hundred pages and water well files related to the MX Missile Project of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The collection is in 2 4-drawer filing cabinets. The geologic/hydrologic reports are kept at the NBMG, and some years ago, the cultural reports were sent to the Nevada Historical Society. The "Amount" is based on the number of reports and files listed on a typed index that may need revision. MX Files The area covered by the project is part of eastern and central Nevada. The collection is indexed by a typed list of reports and files in a binder, which needs to be reviewed against what is in the collection. The collection may be considered to become part...

Website of various Nevada geothermal resource information, which contains 227 geothermal site descriptions and related digital maps, photographs, and information sources. Geothermal Resources of Nevada Two NBMG geologists spend part of their time keeping up this database. Aside from the list of 227 geothermal sites which are linked to site descriptions and maps, the website also contains an interactive map based on NBMG Map 141, "Nevada Geothermal Resources," which shows locations of all significant occurrences of geothermal water in Nevada of which more than 300 are linked to site descriptions and/or databases accessed by mouse clicks; links to the files used to create the interactive map; a list linked to 82 large-scale...

The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG) Mining District Files (also known as NVGEODEX) is a collection containing over 30,000 items consisting of about 150,000 pages of correspondence, reports, maps, assays, datasets, photographs, newspaper clippings, journal articles, company reports, and government publications. The media is paper, linen, vellum, mylar, cardboard, microfilm and fiche, and photographic paper. This database is the electronic index of the entire collection. Most of the items were scanned as TIFs and converted to PDFs for internet availability. Access is through the NBMG main website at http://www.nbmg.unr.edu, followed by clicking on 1). "Minerals & Energy", 2). "Mining", and 3). "Nevada Mining...

Paper files for 1061 entries for oil and gas well files whether drilled or not. The files are filed by: 1) dry hole or producer; 2) county; 3) operator; 4) well; 5) well file or log file. The files are copies of documents required to be turned in to the Nevada Division of Minerals, which is the main state regulatory agency for petroleum exploration. Also, the NBMG has some many files that predate 1954 when the state took over permitting. The files contain permits, sundry notices, logs, geology reports, scout cards, drill stem tests, and other items. Many of the drilled wells have cuttings that are described as a separate collection. About 670 files contain some kind of log, the electric logs of which are filed in...

606 reports and maps with pages varying from 1 to many hundreds. Most are private company engineering studies done for construction sites and commonly contain maps, soil and hazard reports, and geotechnical data. Some items are area geohazard reports some of which were used to compile some of the NBMG urban maps. Some items are private company water well reports. The items are cataloged and filed into three categories according to the area covered: 1) State; 2) County; and 3) 15' quadrangle. Each item has a unique written identifier. Site sources are in category 3, where the state is divided into 15' rectangles that are numbered. As part of this Inventory Project, these files were entered into the Open File Report...

Collection of paper aerial photographs and a few negatives. Most have been donated and the original sources include U. S. Geological Survey, U. S. Forest Service, U. S. Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Department of Transportation, U. S. Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Army Map Service, U. S. Air Force, MX Project, and private companies. Some were flown for the University of Nevada, Reno, and NBMG projects. The exact amount is unknown and is probably between 200,000 and 500,000. The collection is largely indexed by the organization that flew the photos and then by project. Aerial Photograph Collection Most of the projects are not complete. Most of the photographs are indexed by an assortment of paper indexes and...

Paper files for 1058 entries for geothermal well files whether drilled or not. Some files are for "Project Areas", which contain a number of proposed wells that are later individually repermitted. The files are filed by: 1) a code tied to NBMG Bulletin 91, "Thermal Waters of Nevada"; and 2) permit or related number. The files are copies of documents required to be turned in to the Nevada Division of Minerals, which is the main state regulatory agency for geothermal exploration. Also, the NBMG has many files that predate 1985 when the Nevada Division of Minerals took over permitting from the Nevada Division of Water Resources. The files contain permits, sundry notices, logs, geology reports, scout cards, water analyses,...

Collection of open-file reports and other publications mostly from the U. S. Geological Survey, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, Nevada Division of Minerals, Nevada Division of Water Resources, Nevada Mine Safety and Training, U. S. Bureau of Land Management, U. S. Bureau of Mines, U. S. Dept. of Energy, and other organizations. The engineering files were entered as part of this Inventory Project. The items are generally sorted by topic or publication series and range in size from one page or map to hundreds of pages with many large maps. Open-File Report Collection Though the collection is adequately stored for present usage, the files are paper and are slowly degrading with use. The U. S. Geological Survey...

An estimated 600 to 800 Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps filling 2.5 letter width filing cabinet drawers and covering most of the state. Some of these maps are likely out of date. Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps The NBMG has not cataloged and entered these maps into a database. The indexes used are the paper ones that came with the collection. The database and website noted on the previous page are for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has most if not all of these maps on-line as PDFs. If it becomes obvious that all of these maps are available on line, this collection will be either put in deep storage or given to another agency. The staff level...

510 items containing an unknown number of pages of mostly reports and maps. Years ago, this collection was part of the Mining District Files. It was separated out to create a collection of items that cover areas, while the Mining District Files in general were to be for points such as individual mines, claims, deposits, and the like. The media is mainly paper, linen, vellum, and mylar. The collection is divided up into the State of Nevada, 1' by 1' quadrangles, and counties. This collection will eventually be reintegrated into the Mining District Files. Nevada Geology File The collection is indexed by typed and handwritten notes in a binder. It will eventually be reintegrated back into the Mining District Files,...
