These data accompany the "Generalized water-table elevation map in agricultural regions of Bayfield County, Wisconsin," plate 1 of Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey Technical Report 2. The map and a series of hydrogeologic cross sections (plate 2 of the report) were developed using information from 660 wells located within and adjacent to the study area, previously published maps of surficial and bedrock geology, and an existing groundwater flow model. The compilation and interpretation of data was intended to support discussions and decisions surrounding land use in the study area.
These point features represent locations of 660 water supply wells in the study area in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. 444 are completed in glacial deposits and screened in sand, or a mix of sand and gravel. The remaining wells are drilled into bedrock, with 205 completed in sandstone and 11 completed in basalt bedrock.
Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS), UW-Extension, with support from the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors and its Large-Scale Livestock Study Committee. Well data from construction records submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources mainly between 1988 and 2010. Groundwater flow model, Bradbury and others, unpublished data.
This dataset was developed from sources of varying map scales and may not be accurate for site-specific applications without verification. These data represent work performed by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. Please contact gis@wgnhs.uwex.edu with any questions or comments.

This dataset consists of well construction reports available from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, identified as being from Bayfield County, and located within the project area. These reports are for wells mainly completed between 1988 and 2010. This dataset is not a complete inventory of water wells.

The well construction report data for 660 wells, located within and adjacent to the study area, were derived from source files provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Records were reviewed for locational accuracy and other attributes of the wells captured on the WCR, such as well construction, hydrologic and geologic observations. The 660 wells within the study area were classified as being completed in one of three types of material: 1. sediment (sand, or sand and gravel) 2. sandstone 3. bedrock other than sandstone, such as basalt. Data were exported from geodatabase to shapefile format for digital distribution. Not all points and fields from the original data set are included, but these 660 water-table map wells can be related to more detailed source information using the field 'WUWN' (Wisconsin Unique Well Number).
Well construction records (WCRs) were compiled from Wisconsin DNR sources. WCRs provided point locations and descriptions of geology, elevation and depth to bedrock.
