What kind of site this is
FORMATION · GEOTHERMALSECTION · ILLUSTRATIVE

Drawn as a well, where the mineral is pumped up as a liquid, brine or steam rather than dug. 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.
