Mississippi Isotherm Map 6 - 401 Deg F (205 Deg C)
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This map is one of 18 produced for the final open-file report: An Investigation of Potential Geothermal Energy Sources in
Mississippi, DoE Contract No. EG-77-S-05-5361; Edwin E. Luper, Principal Investigator; Mississippi Geological, Economic and
Topographical Survey; Jackson, Mississippi; 1978. Maps produced include areas of central and southern Mississippi, including
all or portions of Adams, Amite, Attala, Calhoun, Carroll, Claiborne, Clarke, Copiah, Covington, Forrest, Franklin, George,
Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Hinds, Holmes, Humphreys, Issaquena, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Jones, Lamar,
Lauderdale, Lawrence, Leake, Leflore, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pearl River, Perry, Pike, Rankin, Scott, Sharkey,
Simpson, Smith, Stone, Sunflower, Walthall, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Wilkinson, and Yazoo Counties. Each map is contoured
along a single isothermal surface: Maps 1-A through 1-E: 158F (70C) Maps 2-A through 2-E: 212F (100C) Maps 3-A through 3-E:
248F (120C) Map 4: 302F (150C) Map 5: 356F (180C) Finally, a location map of the 401F (205C) isotherm well is labeled Map
6. Maps 1, 2 and 3 were constructed at approximate scale of 1:250,000. These were broken into 5 sections each. The remaining
maps were constructed at approximate scale of 1:500,000. These maps were contoured manually by the staff of the MGS in 1978.
Many of the reference marks appear to be incorrectly drawn, so a best-fit methodology was used on the scanned maps to attempt
to place them in their appropriate relative location in georeferencing.
