Arnold, L.R., 2017, Geospatial datasets of regolith thickness, bedrock altitude, depth to water, potentiometric-surface altitude, and saturated thickness for the shallow groundwater system in the Lower Gunnison River Basin, Delta, Montrose, Ouray, and Gunnison Counties, Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F70863S6.

Summary

This dataset consists of altitude values representing the top surface (in feet) of well-consolidated bedrock at the base of the shallow groundwater system in the Lower Gunnison River Basin in Delta, Montrose, Ouray, and Gunnison Counties, Colorado. Bedrock-altitude values were computed as the difference between land-surface altitude and the thickness of regolith sediments represented by dataset rglth. The U.S. Geological Survey prepared this dataset in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board.

Purpose

This dataset was created to display, in raster format, the generalized altitude and configuration of the bedrock surface that comprises the base of the shallow groundwater system in the Lower Gunnison River Basin, Colorado. Values in the dataset were used to generate bedrock-surface contours shown in the dataset bralt_contours.
