Aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field and radiometric values and locations. The magnetic data set presents latitude, longitude, altitude, and magnetic-field values. Geologic symbols or codes are also included. The geologic symbols were picked from surficial geologic maps. The radiometric data set presents latitude, longitude, altitude, geologic symbols or codes, apparent Uranium (Bismuth 214), Thorium (Thallium 208), and Potassium (K 40), the element ratios, and ancillary information.
