Digital map of water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2013
The High Plains aquifer extends from south of 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude
and from 96 degrees 30 minutes to 104 degrees west longitude. The aquifer underlies about
175,000 square miles in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. This dataset consists of a raster of water-level changes
for the High Plains aquifer, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2013. This digital dataset was
created using water-level measurements from 3,349 wells measured in both the predevelopment
period (about 1950) and in 2013 and using other published information on water-level change
in areas with few water-level measurements. The map was reviewed for consistency with the
relevant data at a scale of 1:1,000,000.
