EXPLANATION

Observation well with hydrograph—Upper number is well number; 

lower number is water-level altitude, in feet

Approximate northwestern limit of the confined aquifer.

(From Martin, 1984) 

10,000-milligram-per-liter line of equal chloride concentration

(From Pope and Gordon, 1999; Vroblesky and Fleck, 1991) 

U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangle and name

Altitude of potentiometric surface—Dashed where inferred.

Contour interval is variable. Datum is National Geodetic 

Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29)

Production well—Upper number is well number; lower number 

is water-level altitude, in feet

Observation well—Upper number is well number; lower number 

is water-level altitude, in feet

Estimated location of 250-milligram-per-liter line of equal 

chloride concentration. Dashed where inferred. (Modified 

from DePaul and others, 2009; Cushing and others, 1973)
