Abstract
The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) has compiled existing geothermal data with oil and gas well data, and a number of new geothermal data points to produce new statewide maps of heat flow and geothermal gradient. These maps are being used to help focus new data development efforts, providing the geothermal community with basic data to identify exploration targets.
