This dataset consists of reported depths to and calculated altitudes of selected geologic contacts, and calculated apparent thicknesses of selected hydrostratigraphic units, in the Raton Basin, Huerfano and Las Animas Counties, southeastern Colorado. It primarily was developed from data compiled from the database of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission but also includes the altitudes of selected contact surfaces that were interpolated from the geologic map of the Trinidad quadrangle (Johnson, 1969). These data were used to prepare maps of the altitude of the bottom and top of the Trinidad Sandstone, and the tops of the Veremjo and Raton Formations, and of the apparent thicknesses of the Trinidad Sandstone and Vermejo and Raton Formations. This dataset includes hydrostratigraphic data for Huerfano County and Las Animas Counties, Colorado; however associated structural and thickness contours derived from these data are limited to the part of the Raton Basin in Las Animas County, Colorado.
