The region to the East of the Milford FORGE site was dissected into 1km^2 grid cells to be representative of the actual geothermal reservoir at the site. Lineaments within the cells were analyzed for density and orientation by calculating the azimuthal directions, and then creating rose diagrams. Density was analyzed with a line density tool in ArcGIS. To access the rose diagrams, use the hyperlink tool, and click on the polygon cells within this shapefile.

The results show great complexity in the pre-existing fracture network of the crystalline basement rock beneath the Milford FORGE site, with no two cells having exactly same fracture orientation.
Use the hyperlink tool to see rose diagrams. 
Keep the files as they are in the folder, else the hyperlinks will break. 
Open the fracture_map.mxd map in ArcGIS to see it all.
