shapefiles
depicting a variety of characteristics of the ground-water system of Pine
County, Minnesota |
| Purpose |
Geographic information systems (GIS) layers
were created to cartographically depict and spatially analyze data used in the
production of the Pine County Geologic Atlas, Part B.
A
County Geologic Atlas (CGA) is a systematic study of a county's geologic
and ground-water resources. Geologic studies include both near-surface deposits
and bedrock. Ground-water studies include flow systems, aquifer capacity,
ground-water chemistry, and sand and gravel deposits. Interpretation of
sensitivity to pollution is also part of a CGA. |

Review of available data:
Investigations
begin with a review of existing information, such as earlier geologic maps,
soil maps, hydrologic reports, and information provided by well drillers.
Drillers send water well logs to the Minnesota Geological Survey, where they
are reviewed, interpreted, and entered into the County Well Index (CWI), an
interactive data base of water-well information.
Collection of data from the field:
Field
studies are conducted to measure static water level elevations and chemistry of
selected wells. These studies, combined with pre-existing data, are used to
create models of water-table and bedrock hydrogeology (elevation,
potentiometric surface, potential yield, flow direction), and sensitivity of
ground water system to pollution.
Creation of GIS layers:
Using a variety of
techniques, data are converted into Arc/INFO coverages or ARCVIEW shapefiles
for cartographic display and spatial analysis. Metadata for individual layers
contain more detailed lineage information.
