Water-level change data from wells used to map water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer, 2017 to 2019

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-02-06T00:00:00Z
The High Plains aquifer extends from about 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude and from about 96 degrees 30 minutes to 106 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 digital dataset is comprised of water-level measurements from 7,195 wells measured in both 2017 and 2019, which were used to map water-level changes, 2017 to 2019. The map was reviewed for consistency with the relevant data at a scale of 1:1,000,000.
