Principal facts for 178 gravity stations in Paradise Valley and 117 stations in Stagecoach Valley, are tabulated; they consists of latitude, longitude, altitude, observed gravity, free-air anomaly, terrain correction, and Bouguer gravity anomaly values at a bedrock density of 2.67 grams per cubic centimeter.

During March through July 1979, gravity measurements were made at 300 stations in Dixie Valley, Nevada. In December 1981, 45 additional stations were added--7 in Dixie Valley, 23 in Fairview Valley, and 15 in Stingaree Valley. Most altitudes were determined by using altimeters or topographic maps. The gravity observations were made with a Worden temperature-controlled gravimeter with an initial scale factor of 0.0965 milliGal/scale division. Principal facts for each of the 345 stations are tabulated; they consist of latitude, longitude, altitude, observed gravity, free-air anomaly, terrain correction, and Bouguer anomaly values at a bedrock density of 2.67 grams/cu cm.
