Data on water resources of the Hunter Mountain area, Death Valley National Monument, California
Miller GA. 1970. Data on water resources of the Hunter Mountain area, Death Valley National Monument, California. U. S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 70-226. USGS, Department of the Interior. Menlo Park, CA
Springs in the Hunter Mountain area were investigated during 1968-69, and the 48 springs offer a moderate supply of good quality water. The author's abstract notes: "Most of the springs issue from fractured and weathered quartz monzonite. The few large springs are at bedrock constrictions in alluvial channels." Along with spring locations and discharges, this study investigated the geology. Changes in discharge points are noted as being caused by some flash floods, and a diagram shows how these occur. The report includes an extensive table with data for individual springs (discharge, temperature, chemical quality, and more). There is also a generalized geologic map showing spring locations, a table of chemical analyses, and brief descriptions of each spring.
