These data were produced as part of a project to inventory and assess Columbia County's groundwater resources. Information about regional hydrologic conditions can help guide planning decisions concerning land use and water resources. Surface water divides in Columbia County separate three basins: the Wisconsin River, the Fox River, and the Rock River basins.
These data depict approximate locations of major surface-water divides and the general direction of shallow groundwater flow in Columbia County.
The map data are a regional interpretation of the water table, intended for presentation at a scale of 1:100,000, and may not be sufficient for use at a site-specific scale.
The Columbia County Groundwater Project is a joint project of the Columbia County Land and Water Conservation Department; the United States Geological Survey; and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS), a unit of the University of Wisconsin-Extension.

These data represent work performed by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and are released to the open files in the interest of making the information readily available. The data have not been extensively reviewed for conformity with the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey standards and nomenclature. This dataset was developed from data of varying map scales and may not be accurate for site-specific applications.

Groundwater flow arrows were digitized on-screen and smoothed for a presentation scale of 1:100,000. Surface-water divide lines were imported from WDNR GMU files and edited on-screen.
