What kind of site this is
NOTED AT THE SURFACE · GEOTHERMALSECTION · ILLUSTRATIVE

Drawn as a mineral occurrence: a place where a geologist noted the mineral, with no mining recorded. The ore color stands for geothermal. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
