Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma
This data set consists of digitized aquifer boundaries for the
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma. The Vamoosa-Ada
aquifer is an important source of water that underlies about
2,320-square miles of parts of Osage, Pawnee, Payne, Creek,
Lincoln, Okfuskee, and Seminole Counties. Approximately 75
percent of the water withdrawn from the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is
for municipal use. Rural domestic use and water for stock
animals account for most of the remaining water withdrawn. The
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is defined in a ground-water report as
consisting principally of the rocks of the Late
Pennsylvanian-age Vamoosa Formation and overlying Ada Group. The
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer consists of a complex sequence of fine- to
very fine-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and conglomerate
interbedded with very thin limestones. The water-yielding
capabilities of the aquifer are generally controlled by lateral
and vertical distribution of the sandstone beds and their
physical characteristics. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is unconfined
where it outcrops in about an 1,700-square-mile area.
Most of the aquifer boundary lines were extracted from published
digital geology data sets. The lines in the digital geology data
sets were scanned or digitized from maps published at a scale of
1:250,000 and represent geologic contacts. Some of the aquifer
boundary lines were interpolated in areas where the Vamoosa-Ada
aquifer is overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near streams
and rivers.
