Abstract |
This dataset consists of the
locations of wells drilled within Meeker County. The County Well Index (CWI)
is a database that contains information about wells drilled throughout
Minnesota. In this case, a subset of the locations was used to look at the geological
descriptions of these wells. The origianl CWI file was downloaded from the
Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) in 2003. |
