Utah Aquifer Recharge Discharge Areas

Recharge areas were delineated for the principal aquifers of densely populated basins and valleys of Utah for implementation of state and county groundwater protection plans. This data was compiled from multiple studies and sources. Some data was modified from the original to provide a dataset with consistent scale and attributes. For original data please contact the Utah Geological Survey or the USGS (cited in credits). Bedrock Recharge - Anderson and others (1994) chose not to differentiate between bedrock and aluvial fill when delineating the primary discharge zone while the UGS studies only evaluated the alluvial aquifers making the assumption that potential for contamination in the bedrock aquifers and recharge zones is generally high. We added a bedrock class to the results of the Anderson study to create a more consistent dataset. Bedrock areas are generally considered to occupy the primary recharge zone but may locally discharge large amounts of water at springs or seeps. Primary Recharge - Basin or valley-fill area with a significant downward groundwater gradient lacking confining layers thicker than 20 feet. Secondary Recharge - Basin or valley-fill area with a downward groundwater gradient with a confining layer thicker than 20 feet. Discharge -Basin or valley-fill area where the groundwater gradient is upward. Discharge in unconfined aquifers are areas of springs and seeps. Discharge in confined aquifers will discharge into the overlying unconfined aquifer or to a spring or flowing well. Data last updated 5/24/2016.
Utah Earthquake Epicenters 1850 to 2016

The tectonic earthquake data are primarily from a Uniform Moment Magnitude Earthquake Catalog developed for Utah and its surrounding region by Arabasz and others (2016) for the time period 1850 through September 2012. For the map, we extended the catalog through December 2016 and expanded it to include earthquakes smaller than magnitude 2.9. MIS was excluded from the compilation of Arabasz and others (2016) but has been added to the map to show its significance in east-central Utah. Data for the seismic events plotted on the map are listed in two separate catalogs in the form of an ArcGIS feature class within a file geodatabase. The catalog files are available in the Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) State Geographic Information Database (SGID, [https://gis.utah.gov/data/geoscience/]) and at [https://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/open_file_reports/ofr-667/ofr-667.zip]. The primary catalog used for the map, termed the Earthquake Catalog (EQ Catalog, Utah_EQcat_1850_2016), comprises tectonic earthquakes located within the “Utah Region” (lat. 36.75° to 42.50° N, long. 108.75° to 114.25° W) from 1850 through 2016. This region is the standard region used by the University of Utah Seismograph Stations (UUSS) for the compilation and reporting of earthquakes within and surrounding Utah. Note that the map covers most, but not all, of the Utah Region. The map delineates two areas in east-central Utah that are characterized by predominantly (more than 90%) MIS. All seismic events (including both MIS and tectonic earthquakes) located in these two areas are listed in a separate catalog, termed the Coal-Mining-Region Catalog (CMR Catalog)(Utah_CMRcat_1928_2016), which extends from 1928 (the year of the first located event) through 2016. The EQ and CMR catalogs are mutually exclusive. The EQ Catalog does not include tectonic earthquakes located within the two delineated areas of predominantly MIS. More information about the earthquake epicenter data is contained in UGS OFR 667 ([https://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/open_file_reports/ofr-667/ofr-667.pdf]).

Utah Landslide Compilation Debris Flow Paths

Landslide Compilation Debris Flow Path feature class represents debris-flow paths throughout Utah, is the result of multiple landslide compilations (that include debris-flow paths) and digitizing efforts by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS), and is not new landslide-specific mapping. Harty (1992, 1993) produced a statewide landslide debris-flow path compilation on 46 30’ x 60’ quadrangle maps at 1:100,000 scale. Landslide debris-flow paths were compiled from all known pre-1989 published and unpublished references available at the time (Harty, 1992, 1993). The Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) digitized the 30’ x 60’ Harty (1992, 1993) quadrangle maps to create a statewide landslide debris-flow path feature class. Elliott and Harty (2010) updated the AGRC feature class by adding additional landslide debris-flow paths from 1989 to mid-2007 geologic maps and internal UGS landslide investigations. Elliott and Harty (2010) also added additional fields to the feature class. As a compilation, this data represents existing mapping from multiple sources, at a variety of scales and accuracies, and not new detailed comprehensive mapping of landslides. The feature class only shows mapped debris-flow paths from references available at the time of compilation and not all debris-flow paths that may be present.

Utah Landslide Inventory Polygons

Landslide Inventory Polygons feature class includes spatial, geologic, and qualitative landslide activity information and is useful for ranking areas of potential movement, and together with GIS analysis, provides an analytical tool for discerning the relationship between landslides and specific land-management elements. Landslide Inventory Polygons were captured using LiDAR, stereo aerial photography, other data, and field reconnaissance by the UGS. Last updated March, 2016.

Utah Shallow Ground Water

This dataset represents the depth to groundwater in Utah, defined by areas. Original manuscript maps were provided by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) and digitized by AGRC. The final data products were verified and approved by the UGS. Procedures_Used: Data was digitized by AGRC with ARC/INFO software from the reproduction film positive at 1:750,000 scale. After modifications. the final data products were verified and approved by the UGS. Reviews_Applied_to_Data: Possible distortion of the original manuscription (conceivably introduced through the photo-reduction process) was detected during digitizing. The digitized linework was visually compared to the source document. Differences in the base map data as depicted on this dataset are revealed when compared to other sources (eg. the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake). This disparity does not reflect the quality of the data.
Utah Geochronology Argon

NOTE: This dataset holds 'static' data that we don't expect to change. We have removed it from the SDE database and placed it in ArcGIS Online, but it is still considered part of the SGID and shared on opendata.gis.utah.gov. The Utah Geochronology Database contains ages and related dating information of sampled geologic materials (soil and rock) using argon (40Ar/39Ar), fission track, optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL), radiocarbon (14C), rhubidium/strontium, or uranium/thorium/lead dating methods and were analyzed for a variety of geologic-related projects by the UGS and others. These ages were used in fault trench investigations to determine the timing of past earthquakes and to develop other paleoseismic parameters, in the dating of basalt flows for eruption histories and in dating fault movement, and similar projects. Since geochronologic methods have significantly evolved and improved through time, older data is often not as reliable or usable as more recently dated materials. The user should use caution in using this data, as significant knowledge and experience is often needed to interpret and apply geochronologic data to projects correctly. As the database is expanded in the future, age results from other geochronologic dating methods are anticipated to be added. Various geochronologic data from geologic mapping projects may be found here. Donations of geochronologic data in Utah are appreciated, so that these data can be permanently archived and discoverable and available to all users. Contact the UGS for more details. The GeochronArgon feature class contains metadata specific to each argon sample in the database. Not all fields will contain data, due to the lack of available information, or the field may not apply to the specific sample.
