Abstract
The aeromagnetic map of the Charlotte 1 x 2 degree quadrangle was assembled by 6 individual detailed aeromagnetic surveys flown between 1956 and 1976 (see index map). The International Geomagnetic Reference Field had been subtracted from the data prior to assembly. An arbitrary common datum was selected and the surveys were recontoured at the joins. The 100 gamma contour was selected because it shows the magnetic contrast to best advantage. To complement the magnetic data a gravity survey was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and this data is available in a companion map (Wilson and Daniels, in press). Each of these maps has been interpreted in relation to the other and to the geologic map prepared as part of the same program (Goldsmith and others, 1978). It should be noted that the geophysics has had a measurable influence on some of the geologic mapping.
