Heakin 2008 map Scientific Investigations Report 2993 Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey http://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/2993/ This data set describes springs issuing from the Arikaree aquifer or overlying alluvium that were used to create a map of the generalized potentiometric surface of the Arikaree aquifer in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Bennett County. All data were retrived from the U.S. Geological Survey's NWISWeb database at http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/sd/nwis/. This data set was created as part of a project to map the potentiometric surface of the Arikaree aquifer in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Bennett County. In 1998, the U.S. Geological Survey began working in cooperation with the Oglala Sioux Tribe to develop a potentiometric map of the Arikaree aquifer in Jackson and Shannon counties. In 2003, the study area was expanded to include Bennett County. This data set was subjected to the same review standard that applies to all U.S. Geological Survey publications. Reviewers were asked to check the topological consistency, tolerances, attribute frequencies and statistics, projection, and geographic extent. The reviewers checked the metadata files for completeness and accuracy. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ARC/INFO format, this metadata file may include some ESRI ArcInfo Coverage specific terminology. 2007 ground condition Complete None planned -102.269603 -101.272232 43.646469 43.186557 None springs Arikaree aquifer inlandWaters None Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Bennett County Shannon County None Jackson County None Arikaree Formation None alluvium None Tertiary None Holocene None.

Public Unclassified None Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.1850 Multiple visual checks were done to verify that the attribute data were coincident with the original source map (SIM 2993). Point features present. This data set consists of spring locations for the Arikaree aquifer in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Bennett County. All of the springs in this data set were visited, and a hand-held global positioning system was used to determine the latitude and longitude of the spring to within one second.

STEP 1: Data were retrieved from the U.S. Geological Survey Ground-Water Site Inventory database. STEP 2: The data were pulled into a spreadsheet. Selected data from the spreadsheet were exported to a space-delimited file. STEP 3: An ARC/INFO coverage was created using the "createpoint" command. STEP 4: Additional items were manually added to the .pat file. 20090220 Janet Carter U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologist mailing and physical address

ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. ESRI Coordinates defining the features. AREA Area of feature in internal units squared. ESRI Area is always zero for point coverages. Values are automatically generated. PERIMETER Perimeter of feature in internal units. ESRI Perimeter is always zero for point coverages. Values are automatically generated. STATIONID Land-surface altitude at the spring site. Altitude was determined by plotting the spring location on 1:24,000- or 1:25,000-scale maps and interpolating the altitude from the map. All values are referenced to NAVD 88. Ground-Water Site Inventory (GWSI) database 2558 3250 feet above NAVD 88 ALTITUDE The LOCAL number is based on the Federal land-survey system for western South Dakota. LOCAL consists of the township number followed by "N" (north of the Black Hills Meridian), the range number followed by "W" (west of the Black Hills Meridian), and the section number, followed by a maximum of four uppercase letters that indicate, respectively, the 160-, 40-, 10-, and 2.5-acre tract in which the site is located. These letters are assigned in a counterclockwise direction beginning with the letter "A" for the northeast quarter. A serial number following the last letter is used to distinguish between wells located in the same 2.5-acre tract. Ground-Water Site Inventory (GWSI) database Unique numbers and characters that are based on township, range, and section.

Ground-Water Site Inventory (GWSI) database 1011641 1021609 degrees, minutes, seconds (NAD 27) LONGITUDE This is a unique number given to each spring. STATIONID is a combination of the latitude and longitude of the spring, plus a sequential number for springs located at the same latitude and longitude. (NOTE: The latitudes or longitudes originally assigned to sites in the USGS's Ground-Water Site Inventory (GWSI) database occasionally are determined to be incorrect. In these cases, the latitude or longitude is corrected, but the station identification numbers remains unchanged. Thus, the latitude or longitude for a site may not correspond exactly with the STATIONID.) Ground-Water Site Inventory (GWSI) database Unique whole numbers that are based on latitude and longitude.
