Summary

This data release provides access to a low-altitude aeromagnetic survey flown over a part of the Cascade Range of the US Pacific Northwest, approximately centered over the town of Packwood, Washington. The Packwood magnetic survey surrounds but does not include the edifice of Mount Rainier, the highest (4392 m; 14,410 ft) volcano of the conterminous United States. Data were acquired between September 18 and October 18, 2022, by KBM Resources Group, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, working under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey. Survey procedures are described in detail in the document, Packwood_tech_report.pdf, also available in this data release. The survey is underlain by a diverse magnetic terrane of Tertiary to Quaternary volcanic [...]

Purpose

These data were acquired to support ongoing investigations in three USGS programs: National Cooperative Geological Mapping, Earthquake Hazards, and Volcano Hazards Programs. Low-altitude magnetic measurements reflect underlying geology and structure and can assist in a variety of Earth studies, including geologic mapping, earthquake and volcano hazard mitigation, and mineral, geothermal, and water resource assessments.
