Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern Oklahoma
This data set consists of digital polygons of constant hydraulic
conductivity values for the alluvial and terrace deposits along
the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern
Oklahoma. Ground water in 1,305 square miles of Quaternary-age
alluvial and terrace deposits along the the Cimarron River from
Freedom to Guthrie is an important source of water for
irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic
supplies. Alluvial and terrace deposits are composed of
interfingering lenses of clay, sandy clay, and cross-bedded
poorly sorted sand and gravel. The aquifer is composed of
hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace deposits that
unconformably overlie the Permian-age Formations.
The hydraulic-conductivity values for alluvial and terrace
deposits used in this data set were published in a steady-state
ground-water flow modeling report. The aquifer boundaries along
geological contacts were extracted from published digital
geology data sets. Boundaries defining the geographic limits of
the aquifer were digitized from a mylar map, at a scale of
1:250,000. The maps were published at a scale of 1:900,000. The
hydraulic conductivity values are 104.5 feet per day for the
alluvial deposits and 47.5 feet per day for the terrace
deposits.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of hydraulic conductivity
used in the model and presented in this data set are not
precise, but are within a reasonable range when compared to
independently collected data.
