This report is a compilation of 200 areas of exposed granitic rock within the State of Nevada. Data were compiled to be used in assessing granitic rock as a potential medium for the subsurface storage of radioactive wastes. The compilation was done on a county-by-county basis. Factors considered for each area of exposed granitic rock are general location, coordinates, land classification, areal extent, accessibility, remoteness, geologic setting, hydrologic setting, aeromagnetic expression, mining activities, general comments, and selected references.
