Associated Data Sets: Blue Earth County Geologic Atlas, Part A, County Geologic Atlas Series C-26, published by the Minnesota Geological Survey, 2012. More information and downloadable data for Part A is available on the MGS data site: http://www.mngs.umn.edu/county_atlas/countyatlas.htm

## Section 2: Data Quality

Attribute Accuracy: 1:100,000
Logical Consistency: Data are topologically correct using ArcGIS 10.2.2
Completeness: Complete
Horizontal Positional Accuracy: NA
Vertical Positional Accuracy: NA
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. Some data are available in table format only (indexpt_other).

Table Detail:

INDEXPT - point information representing wells with verified locations selected from the County Well Index (CWI) database of well records
Field Name | Valid Values | Definition | Definition Source
--- | --- | --- | ---
RELATEID | - | Four 0's followed by 6-digit unique number for wells, or the Lake ID from DNR Lakes Database + 2 digits for a site at a lake (01,02, etc.). Wells in "indexpt" have verified locations. |
AQUIFER | - | CWI aquifer code. The aquifers are identified as "CAMB", "CDRE", "CECR", "CEMS", "CJDN","CJDW", "CJSL", "CJTC", "CMFL", "CMTS", "CSLT", "CSLW", "CSTL", "CTCG", "CTCM", "CTCW", "CWEC", "CWMS", "CWOC", "INDT", "KRET", "MTPL", "OPCJ", "OPDC", "OPOD", "OPVL", OSPC", "OSTP", "PUDF", "QBAA", "QBUA", "QBUU", "QWTA". |
Aquifer_Q | - | Quaternary aquifer name, usually mapped at county scale. The buried sand and gravel aquifers are identified as "s2", "se", "sg", sh", "sl", "sm", "st", "su". Quaternary aquifers are named after buried sand units shown on Plate 4, Part A. The surficial aquifer is identified as "ss". Bedrock aquifers are represented by "bdrk". |
CONTROL | - | Control point for generation of the aquifer maps: "Static water-level measurement" and "Chemistry". "null" indicates well data used only for mapping surficial sand extent. |
XSEC | - | Cross section number associated with well, letter indicates published hydrogeologic cross section shown on Part B, Plate 7. |
