Summary

A digital representation of the study area boundary adopted for the GIS analyses. The boundary was created by intersecting an index of USGS 1:24,000-scale, 7.5-minute quadrangle maps with data containing selected bedrock geologic units from U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 1052. The final study area boundary covers more than 20,000 square miles, amounting to 38 percent of New York State and transecting 42 counties.

Purpose

The geodatabases in this data release were used to develop a comprehensive inventory of closed depressions in the State of New York which overlie carbonate and other rock types that have the potential for developing karst features. The geodatabases were developed in support of Scientific Investigations Report SIR 2020-5030 (Kappel and others, 2020).
