Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. The U.S. Geological Survey developed this dataset as part of the Colorado Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project (FRIRP). One goal of the FRIRP was to provide information on the availability of those hydrogeologic resources that are either critical to maintaining infrastructure along the northern Front Range or that may become less available because of urban expansion in the northern Front Range. This dataset extends from the Boulder-Jefferson [...]

Purpose

This dataset was created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the development of the USGS Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project. This dataset was used in the creation of 1:50,000-scale hydrogeologic contour maps. It also was used as an input source for the automated generation of a water-level-elevation surface that was in turn used to generate an unsaturated-zone-thickness (depth-to-water) surface, also contoured for use in 1:50,000-scale maps. Furthermore, it was used as an input source for the automated generation of a bedrock-elevation surface, also contoured for use in 1:50,000-scale maps.
