The HFM represents the geometry and \nextent of hydrogeologic units and major structures in an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer \nregion of southern Nevada and California. The HFM was constructed from digital elevation models, \ngeologic maps, borehole information, geologic and hydrogeologic cross sections, and other 3D \nmodels to represent the geometry of the hydrogeologic units. Cross sections from five sources \nwere used as input to the HFM: (1) 28 sections of the DVRFS region, (2) six sections of southern \nNevada and eastern California, (3) 22 sections from a hydrogeologic framework model of the Nevada \nTest Site region, (4) four sections of the Yucca Mountain area, and (5) three sections of the southern \npart of Yucca Mountain and the northern part of Amargosa Desert (Faunt and others, 2004, Chapter E, \npages 176-179). The HFM represents principal aquifers and confining units and is an integral component \nof the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model. The DVRFS HFM and transient ground-water flow \nmodels are the most recent in a number of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological \nSurvey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test \nSite (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see \"Larger Work Citation\", Chapter A, page 8).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P97ORVZ1", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.dfd1c681-2090-4cb3-8d1d-bf9eda273c1e.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_dfd1c681-2090-4cb3-8d1d-bf9eda273c1e", "keyword": ["Amargosa Desert", "Ash Meadows", "California", "California Valley", "Chicago Valley", "China Ranch", "Clark County", "Clayton Valley", "Coal Valley", "Death Valley", "Death Valley regional ground-water flow system", "Esmeralda County", "Eureka Valley", "Franklin Lake", "Franklin Well", "Garden Valley", "Inyo County", "Kern County", "Las Vegas Valley", "Lincoln County", "Mesquite Valley", "Mineral County", "Mono County", "Nevada", "Nevada Test Site", "Nye County", "Oasis Valley", "Owlshead Mountains", "Pahranagat Range", "Pahrump Valley", "Panamint Range", "Penoyer Valley", "Railroad Valley", "Resting Spring", "Saline Valley", "San Bernadino County", "Sarcobatus Flat", "Sheep Range", "Shoshone", "Silurian Valley", "Spring Mountains", "Stewart Valley", "Stone Cabin Valley", "Tecopa", "USGS:dfd1c681-2090-4cb3-8d1d-bf9eda273c1e", "Yucca Mountain", "cross section", "flow model", "geologic cross section", "ground water", "hydrogeologic cross section", "hydrogeologic framework model", "hydrogeology", "hydrology", "southern Nevada", "transient ground-water model"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-118.006374, 35.486264, -114.514715, 38.119023", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Traces of geologic and hydrogeologic cross sections used to develop the hydrogeologic framework model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California"}
