Aeromagnetic andairborne radioactivity mapsandprofilesin NewMexico published oropen-filed bythe U.S.Geological Survey The accompanying index maps (p. 56-57) show the location of airborne magnetic and radioactivity surveys for which results are available. The list of publications or open-file releasesis keyed to each index map. Also included are aeromagnetic and aeroradioactivity maps published or open-filed by various states and availqble only from the states. Not included are airborne projects by other government agencies and private industry except when incorporated in U.S, Geological Survey or individual statepublications. Some publications listed are Geophysical Investigations Maps (GP). These and other Survey maps can be purchased from the Branch Of Distribution, U.S. Geological Survey, 1200 S.

A geographic name is the proper name or geographic expressionby which a particular geographicentity is known. The name may be one or more words usedconsistentlyin spoken and written languageto refer to a particular, relativelypermanentplace, feature, or area on the earth's surface, or to a conceptually related group of such places, features, or areas. Geographicnamesgiven New Mexico places and features, such as mountains and rivers, help document the history of this state. Names are significant to any map user, but to those dependingon a map for performanceof duty, an erroneous name can be costly, confusing, and time consuming.Personalplacenamesare often a sourceof pride to a family or a community; the misspelling, misapplication, or omissionof such a name may causedistrust of the accuracyof an otherwiseexcellentmap.
