Morin U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025 Open-File Report 2005-1132 2005 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. GROUND-MAGNETIC STUDIES OF THE AMARGOSA DESERT REGION, CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA Richard J. Blakely, John W. Hillhouse, and Robert L. Morin ABSTRACT High-resolution aeromagnetic surveys of the Amargosa Desert region, California and Nevada, exhibit a diverse array of magnetic anomalies reflecting a wide range of mid- and upper-crustal lithologies. In most cases, these anomalies can be interpreted in terms of exposed rocks and sedimentary deposits. More difficult to explain are linear magnetic anomalies situated over lithologies that typically have very low magnetizations. Aeromagnetic anomalies are observed, for example, over thick sections of Quaternary alluvial deposits and spring deposits associated with past or modern ground-water discharge in Ash Meadows, Pahrump Valley, and Furnace Creek Wash. Such deposits are typically considered nonmagnetic. To help determine the source of these aeromagnetic anomalies, we conducted ground-magnetic studies at five areas: near Death Valley Junction, at Point of Rocks Spring, at Devils Hole, at Fairbanks Spring, and near Travertine Springs. Depth-to-source calculations show that the sources of these anomalies lie within the Tertiary and Quaternary sedimentary section.

LEAVITT, WESLEY J. GOLDSMITH, BRIAN R. KESNER, AND PAUL C. MARSH* Native Fish Lab at Marsh & Associates, LLC, 5016 South Ash Avenue, Suite 108, Tempe, AZ 85282, USA (KGH, JBL, WJG, BRK, PCM). *correspondent: [email protected] Key words: Amargosa River pupfish, Death Valley National Park, distribution, endangered species, monitoring, intermittent streams, range ________________________________________________________________________ Amargosa River pupfish (Cyprinodon nevadensis amargosae), is one of six rec- ognized subspecies of Amargosa pupfish (Miller 1948) and survives in waters embedded in a uniquely harsh environment, the arid and hot Mojave Desert (Jaeger 1957). All are endemic to the Amargosa River basin of southern California and Nevada (Moyle 2002). Differing from other spring-dwelling subspecies of Amargosa pupfish (Cyprinodon ne- vadensis), Amargosa River pupfish is riverine and the most widely distributed, the extent of which has been underrepresented prior to this study (Moyle et al. 2015). Originating on Pahute Mesa, Nye County, Nevada, the Amargosa River flows intermittently, often under- ground, south past the towns of Beatty, Shoshone, and Tecopa and through the Amargosa River Canyon before turning north into Death Valley National Park and terminating at Badwater Basin (Figure 1). Amargosa River pupfish is data deficient with a distribution range that is largely unknown. The species has been documented in Tecopa Bore near Tecopa, Inyo County, CA (Naiman 1976) and in the Amargosa River Canyon, Inyo and San Bernardino Counties, CA (Williams-Deacon et al.
