Rattlesnake Springs are a high-discharge artesian springs situated in the upper Black River Valley in southwestern Eddy Country, New Mexico. The aquifer that supplies the Rat- tlesnake Springs has been the main water source for domestic use by visitors of Carlsbad Caverns National Park and residents of neighboring ranches since the 1930s. Several ge- ological studies relying on surface geology and limited water wells had previously been conducted in the area to examine the trend of ground water flow. In this study I used con- ductivity and resistivity geophysical techniques to identify possible locations of fractures in the subsurface of …
