Lineage This file contains point information representing wells with verified locations selected from the County Well Index (CWI) database of well records and related data maintained by the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Geological Survey. This well information was used to construct all of the geologic and hydrogeologic maps in this project. It includes stratigraphic data that were used to map the extent of the surficial sand, buried sand aquifers, and bedrock aquifers.

Field NameValid ValuesDefinitionDefinition Source
RELATEID
-
Four 0's followed by 6-digit unique number for wells, wells in "indexpt" have verified locations
AQUIFER
-
Aquifer code. The aquifers are identified as "CAMB", "CECR", "CEMS", "CJDN", "CJTC", "CJSL", "CMFL", "CMRC", "CMTS", "CSLF", "CSLT", "CSTL", "CTCE", "CTCG", "CTCM", "CTCW", "CWEC", "CWMS", "CWOC", "INDT", "MTPL", "OSCM", "OSPC", "PMCV", "PMHN", PMSU", "PMUD", "PMVU" "QBAA", "QBUA", "QBUU", or "QWTA"
Aquifer_Q
-
Quaternary aquifer name, usually mapped at county scale. The aquifers are identified as "sl", "sc", "se", "sx", "sr", or "sp". Quaternary aquifers are named after buried sand units shown on Plate 5, Part A. The surficial aquifer is identified as "surf". Bedrock aquifers are represented by "bdrk".
CONTROL
-
Control point for generation of the aquifer maps: "Aquifer Test Location", "Static water-level measurement", and "Chemistry".
XSEC
-
(wells used in the construction of published hydrogeologic cross sections) Cross section number associated with well, letter indicates published hydrogeologic cross section shown on Part B, Plate 9.
