Elevation contour data and an accompanying report provide an updated interpretation of the elevation of the top of Precambrian bedrock in south-central Wisconsin. The elevation surface was developed from geologic and geophysical data, and provides new detail on the entrenched bedrock valleys that were incised into the north and south ranges of the Baraboo...

Depth-to-bedrock mapping of Grant County provides baseline information on unconsolidated surficial sediment thickness across the county. Bedrock aquifers in Grant County are susceptible to contamination from various land use activities, and depth to bedrock represents one of several factors affecting aquifer susceptibility. The results of this study...

The depth-to-bedrock raster of Lafayette County is a continuous model of surficial sediment thickness with a cell size resolution of 32.8 ft (10 m). Results show that the depth to bedrock in Lafayette County varies depending on physiographic setting. The largest values occur in the Pecatonica River valley, where more than 100 ft (30.5 m) of unconsolidated...
