Report title: DIGITAL-map of hydraulic conductivity for the High Plains aquifer in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming

Report number: OFR 98-548

Authors: Joel R. Cederstrand and Mark F. Becker

Abstract

This digital data set consists of hydraulic conductivity contours and polygons for the High Plains aquifer in the central United States. The High Plains aquifer extends from south of 32 degrees to almost 45 degrees north latitude and from 96 degrees 30 minutes to almost 104 degrees west longitude. The area covers 174,000 square miles and is present in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota.

This digital data set was created by digitizing the hydraulic conductivity contours from a 1:1,000,000 base map created by the High Plains RASA project (Gutentag and others, 1984).
