Ground water in 1,305 square miles of Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie is an important source of water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic supplies. Alluvial and terrace deposits are composed of interfingering lenses of clay, sandy clay, and cross-bedded poorly sorted sand and gravel. The aquifer is composed of hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace deposits that unconformably overlie the Permian-age Formations. The aquifer boundaries along geological contacts were extracted from published digital geology data sets. Additional boundaries defining the geographic limits of the aquifer and areas of less than 5 feet saturated thickness were digitized from a mylar map, at a scale of 1:250,000. The maps were published at a scale of 1:900,000. This data set was created for a project to develop data sets to support ground-water vulnerability analysis. The objective was to create and document a digital geospatial data set from a published report or map, or existing digital geospatial data set that could be used in ground-water vulnerability analysis. Introduction -- This data set consists of digital aquifer boundaries for the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern Oklahoma. Ground water in 1,305 square miles of Quaternary alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie is an important source of water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic supplies. Alluvial and terrace deposits are composed of interfingering lenses of clay, sandy clay, and cross-bedded poorly sorted sand and gravel. The aquifer is composed of hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace deposits that unconformably overlie Permian-age Formations (Adams and Bergman, 1996). The aquifer boundaries used by Adams and Bergman (1996), and represented by this data set are: 1) where the terrace deposits pinch out against relatively impermeable Permian-age Formations; 2) where the alluvium has been deposited against relatively impermeable Permian-age Formations; 3) where the alluvial and terrace deposits have been eroded and underlying Permian-age Formations are exposed at the surface; 4) where the aquifer extends beyond the geographic limit of the study area; and 5) where the aquifer has little or no saturated thickness. The aquifer boundaries were determined from the U.S. Geological Survey publication "Geohydrology of alluvium and terrace deposits of the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie, Oklahoma" by Adams and Bergman (1996). The aquifer boundaries along geological contacts were extracted from digital geology data sets by Cederstrand (1996a, 1996b, 1996c, 1996d). Additional boundaries defining the geographic limits of the aquifer and areas of less than 5 feet saturated thickness were digitized from a mylar map, at a scale of 1:250,000. The maps were published at a scale of 1:900,000. Reviews Applied to Data -- This electronic report was subjected to the same review standard that applies to all U.S. Geological Survey reports. Reviewers were asked to check the topological consistency, tolerances, attribute frequencies and statistics, projection, and geographic extent. Reviewers were given digital data sets and paper plots for checking against the source maps to verify the linework and attributes. The reviewers checked the metadata and a_readme.1st files for completeness and accuracy. Related Spatial and Tabular Data Sets -- This data set is one of four digital map data sets being published together for this aquifer. The four data sets are: > aqbound - aquifer boundaries > cond - hydraulic conductivity > recharg - aquifer recharge > wlelev - water-level elevation contours Digital map data sets of the Oklahoma surficial geology digitized from 1:250,000-scale maps (or 1:125,000-scale maps for the three Oklahoma panhandle counties) are published separately.

Features representing aquifer boundaries along geological contacts were extracted from the digital surficial geology data sets by Cederstrand, (1996a, 1996b, 1996c, 1996d) based on a scale of 1:250,000. Polygon boundaries defining the geographic limits of the aquifer and areas of less than 5 feet saturated thickness were digitized from a mylar source map (33 inches by 31 inches), at a scale of 1:250,000. Aquifer boundaries represented at these scales are indicative of broad, regional trends and should not be interpreted as site specific. The aquifer boundaries that were digitized from a mylar source map had a maximum root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) of 0.008 map inches (0.020 map centimeters) or 167.49 feet (51.05 meters) ground distance.

This data set includes the aquifer boundaries published on figure 8, page 18 by Adams and Bergman (1996). Some Permian outcrops were included as part of the aquifer in the finite-difference model grid, on figure 15. These Permian outcrops were included as part of the aquifer for modeling purposes only and are not considered to be hydraulically connected with the aquifer by Adams and Bergman (1996). These Permian outcrops, for this report, are not considered part of the aquifer. Aquifer boundaries with a value of 2 for the LSOURCE line attribute were taken from Cederstrand (1996a, 1996b, 1996c, 1996d). Aquifer boundaries with a value of 1 for the LSOURCE line attribute were taken from Adams and Bergman (1996). None 64 meters Resolution as reported None. The features for aquifer boundaries along geological contacts were extracted from Cederstrand (1996a, 1996b, 1996c, 1996d) digital geology data sets using the ARC/INFO GET command (ESRI, 1995). The ARC/INFO CLEAN command (ESRI, 1995) was used to process the polygon data set with a dangle length of 0.0 feet or meters and fuzzy tolerance of 3.3 feet (1.0 meters). The ARC/INFO PROJECT command (ESRI, 1995) was used to convert the extracted features data set projection from Albers Conical Equal Area to Universal Transverse Mercator-Zone 14. 1996 Boundaries defining the geographic limits of the aquifer and areas of less than 5 feet saturated thickness were digitized from a mylar map, at a scale of 1:250,000. The mylar map was based on Transverse Mercator projection, with central meridians of 99 and 97 degrees west longitude. Registration tics were located on the report data set and the mylar map at locations of township and range corners, to allow registration of the digitized data set and mylar map. The four registration tics were projected into Universal Transverse Mercator-Zone 14, which was the projection used for manual digitizing. The aquifer boundaries were digitized in three sessions with a maximum root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) of 0.008 inches (0.020 centimeters) map distance or 167.49 feet (51.05 meters) ground distance. The data set was edited to delete extraneous pseudo and dangle nodes. 1996 The registration tics used in the initial digitizing were township and range corners taken from 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. A comparison of a paper copy of the digital data set with the source map showed that the 1:24,000-scale township and range corners used as registration tics were not in the same locations on the 1:250,000-scale source map. To correct the problem, four 1:250,000-scale U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps were registered using latitudinal and longitudinal tics, with a maximum root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) of 0.003 inches (0.008 centimeters) map distance or 69.09 feet (21.06 meters) ground distance. Forty-four registration tics were selected and digitized from the quadrangle maps, and given the same tic identification numbers as the tics that were used initially. These new tics were used with the ARC/INFO TRANSFORM command (ESRI, 1995) to adjust the digitized tics to more closely match the source map. The root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) for TRANSFORM was 189.3 feet (57.7 meters) ground distance. The ARC/INFO PROJECT command (ESRI, 1995) was used to convert the data set projection from Universal Transverse Mercator-Zone 14 to Transverse Mercator, with central meridians of 99 and 97 degrees west longitude. A comparison of this transformed data set to the pretransformed data set showed no difference in the digitized aquifer boundaries. 1996 The ARC/INFO PROJECT command (ESRI, 1995) was used to convert the data set projection from Universal Transverse Mercator-Zone 14 to Albers Conical Equal Area. The data set was changed from double to single precision with the ARC/INFO COPY (single) command (ESRI, 1995). The ARC/INFO CLEAN command (ESRI, 1995) was used to process the new polygon data set with a dangle length of 0.0 feet or meters and fuzzy tolerance of 53.8 feet (16.4 meters). Polygons were attributed for AQTYPE and lines were attributed for LSOURCE. Verification of attribute codes were made by comparing a paper plot of the data set with the source map. 1996 Vector Point 26 String 51 GT-polygon composed of chains 27 Albers Conical Equal Area 29.5 45.5 -96 23 0.0 0.0 coordinate pair 64 meters 64 meters METERS North American Datum of 1983 Geodetic Reference System 80 6378137 298.257 AQBOUND.PAT Polygon attribute table of AQBOUND ARC/INFO - Polygon attribute table of AQBOUND ARC/INFO - n/a n/a AREA Area of polygon in square coverage units Computed Positive real numbers n/a n/a PERIMETER Perimeter of polygon in coverage units Computed Positive real numbers n/a n/a AQBOUND# Internal feature number Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a AQBOUND-ID User-assigned feature number User-defined Integer n/a n/a AQTYPE Aquifer type Adams and Bergman (1996) 1,2,3 n/a n/a MAJOR1 Aquifer type Adams and Bergman (1996) 1,2,3 n/a n/a MINOR1 Blank item for DLG Calculated 0 n/a n/a AQBOUND.AAT Arc attribute table ARC/INFO - Arc attribute table ARC/INFO - n/a n/a FNODE# Internal number of from-node Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a TNODE# Internal number of to-node Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a LPOLY# Internal number of polygon to left of arc Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a RPOLY# Internal number of polygon to right of arc Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a LENGTH Length of arc in coverage units Computed Positive real numbers n/a n/a AQBOUND# Internal feature number Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a AQBOUND-ID User-assigned feature number User-defined Integer n/a n/a LSOURCE Source of line Adams and Bergman (1996), Cederstrand (1996a,1996b,1996c,1996d) 1,2 n/a n/a MAJOR1 Source of line Adams and Bergman (1996), Cederstrand (1996a,1996b,1996c,1996d) 1,2 n/a n/a MINOR1 Blank item for DLG Calculated 0 n/a n/a Each polygon in this data set has an associated attribute, AQTYPE, with values of 1 representing areas where the aquifer is present, 2 representing areas where the aquifer is absent, and 3 representing areas where the aquifer was too thin (less than 5 feet of saturated thickness) for modeling ground-water flow by Adams and Bergman (1996). AQTYPE is stored in the first major code (MAJOR1) for polygons, and 0 is stored in the first minor code (MINOR1) in the Digital Line Graph (DLG) version of this data set. Each line in this digital data set has an associated attribute, LSOURCE, that contains a code to indicate the line source. A LSOURCE code of 1 indicates the line was digitized from Adams and Bergman (1996), and a LSOURCE code of 2 indicates the line was extracted from Cederstrand (1996a, 1996b, 1996c, 1996d). LSOURCE is stored in the first major code (MAJOR1) for lines, and 0 is stored in the first minor code (MINOR1) in the Digital Line Graph (DLG) version of this data set. See overview.
