This area encompasses all or part of Cleveland, Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Payne, and Pottawatomie Counties. The Central Oklahoma aquifer includes the alluvial and terrace deposits along major streams, the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations, and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups. The Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits consist of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, and gravel. The hydraulic conductivity data set was created from digital data sets developed to produce a map for a previously published report. The hydraulic conductivity of the alluvial and terrace deposits are not included in this data set. This data set represents the hydraulic conductivities of only the sandstone units in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups. The median hydraulic conductivity of the sandstones in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups, calculated from specific capacity data, is 4.5 feet per day The contact between the Wellington Formation and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups was included in this data set because the median percentage of sandstone in the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups is 43 percent of the median sandstone percentage of the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations. The hydraulic conductivity values for the other rock units, such as the siltstone, mudstone, shale, and limestone, in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups were not reported. 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 digitized polygons of constant hydraulic conductivity values for the Central Oklahoma aquifer in central Oklahoma. This area encompasses all or part of Cleveland, Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Payne, and Pottawatomie Counties. The Central Oklahoma aquifer includes the alluvial and terrace deposits along major streams, the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations, and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups described in the report, "Ground-water-quality assessment of the Central Oklahoma aquifer, Oklahoma: Geochemical and Geohydrologic Investigations," by Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The Central Oklahoma aquifer underlies about 3,000 square miles of central Oklahoma where the aquifer is used extensively for municipal, industrial, commercial, and domestic water supplies. Most of the usable ground water within the aquifer is from the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations. Substantial quantities of usable ground water also are present in the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups, and in alluvial and terrace deposits associated with the major streams (Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit, 1996). The hydraulic conductivity data set was created from digital data sets developed to produce and publish maps at a scale of 1:250,000 in the report, "Hydrogeologic maps of the Central Oklahoma aquifer, Oklahoma," by Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992); and hydraulic conductivity values published in the report, "Ground-water-quality assessment of the Central Oklahoma aquifer, Oklahoma: Geochemical and Geohydrologic Investigations," by Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits consist of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, and gravel. The hydraulic conductivity of the alluvial and terrace deposits is not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The hydraulic conductivity of the alluvial and terrace deposits of the North Canadian River, located in the central section of the Central Oklahoma aquifer, can be found in the report "Digital aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma," by Adams, Runkle, Rea, and Becker (1997). The hydraulic conductivity of the alluvial and terrace deposits of the Cimarron River, located in the extreme northwestern part of the Central Oklahoma aquifer, can be found in the report, "Digital aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern Oklahoma," by Adams, Runkle, Rea, and Cederstrand (1997). This data set represents the hydraulic conductivities of only the sandstone units in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups described in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The median hydraulic conductivity of the sandstones in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups, calculated from specific capacity data, is 4.5 feet per day (Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit, 1996, p. C82). Digital Line Graph (DLG) format requires numbers to be stored as integers. Therefore, the hydraulic conductivity of 4.5 feet per day was multiplied by 10 and stored in the digital data sets as 45 tenths of a foot per day. The contact between the Wellington Formation and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups, shown in figure 7, sheet 3, of Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992), was included in this data set because the median percentage of sandstone in the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups is 43 percent of the median sandstone percentage of the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations (Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit, 1996, p. C68-C69). The hydraulic conductivity values for the other rock units, such as the siltstone, mudstone, shale, and limestone, in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups were not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups are underlain by the Pennsylvanian-age Vanoss Formation. The hydraulic conductivity of the Vanoss Formation was not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The western third of the aquifer is overlain and confined by the Permian-age Hennessey Group rocks, which consists of shales and mudstones with a few thin beds of very fine-grained sandstone. The hydraulic conductivity of the Hennessey Group was not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). 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.

This data set includes all areas of specified hydraulic conductivities published in a report by Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996, C82). This data set represents the hydraulic conductivities of only the sandstone units in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups described in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The hydraulic conductivity values for the other rock units in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups, such as siltstone, mudstone, shale, and limestone, are not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). Boundaries for areas of specific hydraulic conductivity with a value of 1 for the LSOURCE line attribute were taken from Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992). None 64 meters Resolution as reported None. The digital hydraulic conductivity data set in this report was copied from the digital data sets developed to produce the figures in Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992). Map projection information was not stored with the original data sets, therefore, the map projection information, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) project, zone 14, North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) documented in Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992), was added using the ARC/INFO PROJECTDEFINE command (ESRI, 1995). The projection was later converted to the Albers Conical Equal Area, North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) using the ARC/INFO PROJECT command (ESRI, 1995). 19970425 The data set was edited and dangling nodes were removed. The lines were attributed for LSOURCE and polygons were attributed for K, the hydraulic conductivity value. 19970515 The paper plot of the data set was compared to the published maps in Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992) to verify the location and labels of lines and polygons in the data set. 19970515 Vector Point 91 String 272 GT-polygon composed of chains 92 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 COND.PAT Polygon attribute table ARC/INFO - Polygon attribute table 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 COND# Internal feature number Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a COND-ID User-assigned feature number User-defined Integer n/a n/a K Median hydraulic conductivity of sandstones in tenths of a foot per day Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996) 45, -99999 n/a n/a MAJOR1 Median hydraulic conductivity of sandstones in tenths of a foot per day Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996) 45, -99999 n/a n/a MINOR1 Blank item for DLG Calculated 0 n/a n/a COND.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 COND# Internal feature number Computed Sequential unique positive integer n/a n/a COND-ID User-assigned feature number User-defined Integer n/a n/a LSOURCE Source of line Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992) 1 n/a n/a MAJOR1 Source of line Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992) 1 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, K, containing values of hydraulic conductivity (Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit, 1996, p. C82) expressed in tenths of a foot per day. The hydraulic conductivity of 4.5 feet per day is stored as a K value of 45 tenths of a foot per day. Polygons in this data set that contain a K of -99999 represent areas where the hydraulic conductivity is not known. K is stored in the first major code (MAJOR1) and 0 is stored in the first minor code (MINOR1) for polygons in the Digital Line Graph (DLG) version of this data set. This data set represents only the hydraulic conductivities of the sandstone units in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups that are described in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The hydraulic conductivity values for other rock units, such as the siltstone, mudstone, shale, and limestone, in the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups are not known and are not represented by the hydraulic conductivity of 4.5 feet per day. The hydraulic conductivity of the alluvial and terrace deposits was not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups are underlain by the Pennsylvanian-age Vanoss Formation. The hydraulic conductivity of the Vanoss Formation was not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). The western third of the aquifer is overlain and confined by the Permian-age Hennessey Group rocks that consists of shales and mudstones with a few thin beds of very fine-grained sandstone. The hydraulic conductivity of the Hennessey Group was not reported in Parkhurst, Christenson, and Breit (1996). Each line in this digital data set has an associated attribute, LSOURCE, that contains a code to indicate the source of the line. An LSOURCE code of 1 indicates the line was digitized from Christenson, Morton, and Mesander (1992). LSOURCE is stored in the first major code (MAJOR1) and 0 is stored in the first minor code (MINOR1) for lines in the DLG version of this data set. See overview.
