Army City (2)

Magnetic image showing ferrous metal anomalies such as pipes, nails, etc., which reveal outlines of structures at Army City, KS   A close-up of the magnetic data shows water and sewer lines as dipoles at pipe joints as well as the general distribution of iron litter.   Raw magnetic image showing possible zones of brick debris, intensive burning, topsoil mounding or extraction at Army City, KS
Close-up of magnetic susceptibility data with broad areas of high anomalies may represent burned areas from the great fire of 1921.   Conductivity image showing highly conductive buried pipes and building outlines at Army City, KS   Close-up of conductivity data shows highly conductive buried pipes as dipolar because instrument is saturated.
Overview of resistivity data at Army City, KS.   Vegetation marks of walls from the "Hippodrome" and resistivity image of area at Army City, KS.   Vegetation marks and resistivity image of building footers at Army City, KS.
Close-up of resistance data. High resistance areas (black) probably represents building materials like concrete, stone or brick.  

A preliminary view of GPR data based on a composite of time slices resulting from 8 individual sub-blocks needed to survey entire area.

  GPR data after filtering, GSSI Radan program was employed for slicing the data.
