  Description:
    Abstract:
      This shapfile was created from ground-water well sites retrieved from the USGS 
      Oklahoma District Ground Water Site Information Database on November 11, 2002.
    Purpose:
      This shapefile was developed for general mapping and information purposes. 
      The shapefile shows locations of ground-water wells  and provides selected information 
      about sites.
