Description: This dataset represents the depth to crystalline basement within the Central Valley of California. This dataset was derived from the gravity elevation contours provided in the USGS report "The surface of crystalline basement, Great Valley and Sierra Nevada, California: A digital map database." This basement extends westward from the exposed Sierra Nevada, under the sedimentary fill of the Great Valley, and reaches mid-crustal depths beneath the eastern Coast Ranges. The contours are based on a combination of data sources, including topographic information from the Sierra Nevada, well data from oil and gas exploration in the Great Valley, and seismic profiles in the San Joaquin Valley.

The crystalline basement elevation contours were reprojected from NGVD29 to NAVD88, interpolated across the area of interest, and then subtracted from the USGS National Elevation dataset resampled to a resolution of 2 km. The resulting depth contours were smoothed and clipped to the extent of the alluvial deposits in the Central Valley.
