Summary

This data release consists of a single ESRI shapefile, Hydrogeo_SECTpts, with geologic information from the previously published Hydrogeology of Southeastern Connecticut (Melvin, 1974). Test boring location points digitized from georeferenced area maps (1:24,000 scale) are attributed with associated well log information: town, identification numbers, altitude, depth to bottom, and remarks regarding the geology of the well finish. Descriptions for the bottoms of boreholes recorded the source driller's logs.

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to provide improved digital access to data previously available as lithologic logs in a printed report with accompanying maps. Records for these test holes have not been created in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS). By digitizing well locations and documenting depth to bedrock, this dataset can be used to inform models and maps of overburden thickness and the top of the buried bedrock surface in Connecticut.
