Description:

Abstract:

This coverage shows areas most favorable for discovery and development of low-temperature (<90°C) geothermal resources, defined on the basis of thermal springs, thermal wells, and geohydrologic settings. Areas are modified from those defined in U.S. Geological Survey Circular 790. See Sammel, E.A., 1979, Occurrence of low-temperature geothermal waters in the United States.

Additional parts of the Rio Grande rift and other areas which may also be suitable for geothermal discovery but for which data are too sparse or not sufficiently diagnostic to justify inclusion in the darker gray area.

Note. Existing knowledge dies not in general permit the inference that thermal waters may be found everywhere within the depicted areas, nor do the boundaries represent certain knowledge of the areal extent of the geothermal systems.

The areas digitized by the INEEL from the 1980 New Mexico map were modified by James C. Witcher prior to finalizing the INEEL map.

Purpose:

Provides a visual representation of existing geothermal resources and potential areas for residential and commercial direct use applications.

Supplemental_Information:

This data layer is shown on a map in conjunction with land ownership and spring and well temperatures.

Map Title: Geothermal Resources of New Mexico, 1980

Geothermal data compiled by the New Mexico Energy Institute at New Mexico State University

Map produced by the National Geophysical and Solar-Terrestrial Data Center National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for Division of Geothermal Energy United States Department of Energy Map Scale: 1:500,000 1927 North American Datum Lambert conformal conic projection based on standard parallels 33° and 45°

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The original map was registered and the identified thermal waters polygons were digitized. A polygon coverage was generated and projected. Once the layer was drawn on a map and reviewed with other geothermal features, such as spring and well temperature data, the polygons were modified by heads-up digitizing on the screen based on drawings provided by the Renewable Energy and Power Technology group.  The areas digitized by the INEEL from the 1980 New Mexico map were modified by James C. Witcher prior to finalizing the INEEL map.
