Total Thickness of Glacial Deposits The glacial aquifer system of the United States encompasses all or parts of 25 states and is the most widely used supply of drinking water in the Nation (Maupin and Barber, 2005; Maupin and Arnold, 2010). A series of seven raster data sets were derived from a database of water-well drillers' records that was compiled in partial fulfillment of the goals of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Groundwater Availability and Use assessment program (U.S. Geological Survey, 2002). They contain hydrogeologic information for areas of the U.S. that are north of the southern limit of Pleistocene glaciation, including the total thickness of glacial deposits, thickness of coarse-grained sediment within the glacial deposits, specific-capacity...

Much of the data was previously summarized in Figure A4 of https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.1 . Plotted here, on the accompanying map, are all 573 localities in the updated compilation —nearly half of which do not provide much if any evidence for marine inundation. The main attribute of each locality is one of four summary categories: Pervasive—Sand covers more than 3/4 of area and typically thicker than 5 cm (132 localities). Patchy—Sand covers less than 3/4 of area and typically thinner than 5 cm (185 localities). Scant—Called “Sand scarce or absent” in https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.1...

These places were previously plotted in Figure A3 of https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.1, a paper in which the Lisbon tsunami is inferred to have had minor effects on Anegada compared with a sea flood a few centuries earlier. Details about the low, probable Lisbon deposits were previously reported in https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-010-9622-6 (stratigraphy), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-011-9730-y (molluscan paleontology), and https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-010-9706-3 (foraminifera).
