The GIS data in this dataset were subsequently derived from the accompanying map "Generalized Water-Table Elevation of Dunn County, Wisconsin". The map was produced as part of the Dunn County Groundwater Resource Investigation, a joint project of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and the Dunn County Board. The purpose of the project was to compile and interpret hydrogeologic data that could be used by soil-and-water-resource and land-use planners. The map data are a regional interpretation of the water table, with an original presentation at a map scale of 1:100,000 and may not be sufficient for site-specific use.
This feature class (du_wt_CartographicLines) provides linear cartographic features that illustrate the general direction of shallow groundwater flow in Dunn County, Wisconsin. The features were edited such that the end of the line is oriented in the direction of flow. It is part of a dataset (M097-dataset01) containing GIS data for the map "Generalized Water-Table Elevation of Dunn County, Wisconsin". The dataset also includes points showing locations of insufficient data, contour lines of water table elevation, and an Esri ArcGIS Pro map file.
The original map was produced by a joint project of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and the Dunn County Board. The United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) in Madison, Wisconsin assisted with digital capture of the original analog map data. Soren Sheridan provided data editing and review for the final dataset.

These data present an interpretation of subsurface hydrogeologic conditions. Overall, the accuracy of the interpretation varies throughout the study area, increasing with greater data density and decreasing with greater hydrogeologic complexity. These line features illustrate general groundwater flow direction and are cartographic constructs, not representing physical features. The attributes simply identify the general type of feature. Please see the accompanying map for additional information about the interpretation and limitations. The digitized data were compared to the original map to ensure attribute accuracy.

This dataset presents lines illustrating the general direction of groundwater flow, as captured from the original map. Please see the map for additional information about completeness and limitations of the interpretation.
This dataset was digitized from the original published map. Mylar map separates from the original map production process were scanned and georeferenced to the Wisconsin Transverse Mercator coordinate system. Map features were captured with both automated vectorization tools and manual editing. Feature attributes were assigned and symbology was configured to match the source map. Data quality checks were performed to ensure the data accurately represent the source map.
