Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Antlers aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma
This data set consists of digitized aquifer boundaries of the
Antlers aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma. The Early Cretaceous-age
Antlers Sandstone is an important source of water in an area that
underlies about 4,400-square miles of all or part of Atoka,
Bryan, Carter, Choctaw, Johnston, Love, Marshall, McCurtain, and
Pushmataha Counties. The Antlers aquifer consists of sand, clay,
conglomerate, and limestone in the outcrop area. The upper part
of the Antlers aquifer consists of beds of sand, poorly cemented
sandstone, sandy shale, silt, and clay. The Antlers aquifer is
unconfined where it outcrops in about an 1,800-square-mile area.
The data set includes the outcrop area of the Antlers Sandstone
in Oklahoma and areas where the Antlers is overlain by alluvial
and terrace deposits and a few small thin outcrops of the
Goodland Limestone. Most of the aquifer boundary lines were
extracted from published digital geology data sets. Some of the
lines were interpolated in areas where the Antlers aquifer is
overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near streams and
rivers. The interpolated lines are very similar to the aquifer
boundaries published in a ground-water modeling report for the
Antlers aquifer. The maps from which this data set was derived
were scanned or digitized from maps published at a scale of
1:250,000.
