Description:
Location point features and attribute fields for 649 hot and warm springs in Oregon.

The Geothermal Resources Information Layer for Oregon - Release 1 (GTILO - Release 1) is a geospatial database system that stores and manages Oregon's existing geothermal resource information. The compilation of this data is the latest effort by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries to provide visual and historical data of Oregon's geothermal systems. The data sets are hot and warm springs, geothermal prospect wells, geothermal wells, and low-temperature well, which provide a framework for regional spatial analysis. The power of GIS (geographic information system format) facilitates easy access to the database and analysis for development and exploration purposes. Data sets for Known Geothermal Resource Areas and Direct-Use Application areas are included as ancillary information. A centralized database for the geothermal data in Oregon provides a powerful tool that the geothermal industry can use to reevaluate earlier geothermal exploration efforts and develop new approaches that may find hidden geothermal resources in the state.

Use Constraints:
The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has launched a MapServer product (see Native Data Set Environment) to allow users free access to GTILO's data sets and ability to interactively view, create, print, and copy geothermal maps. Each data set is provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The user assumes all responsibility for the accuracy and suitability of this data set for a specific application. In no event will the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and/or the Oregon Department of Energy (funding source) be liable for any damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damages arising form the use of or inability to use this data set. This data set is the result of integrating selected data primarily from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries' (DOGAMI) unpublished and published geothermal reports and maps, accuracy of which varies according to the original source(s). Additional outside geothermal data were also compiled and incorporated into the data set. Likewise its accuracy, particularly data resolution/scale(s), varies or is entirely unknown. Acknowledgment of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries would be appreciated in products derived from this compiled data. If the user has modified the data in any way, they are obliged to describe the types of modifications they have performed. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent this data set, nor to imply that changes they made were approved by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. GTILO - Release 1 is not intended for site-specific investigations.
