Summary

This dataset includes a grid raster and contour line file representing the estimated altitude of the top of the Dakota Sandstone in western Sarpy County. This dataset was developed as part of a cooperative study between the Papillion-Missouri River Natural Resources District (PMRNRD) and USGS which began in 2017. The goal of this study was to develop a hydrogeologic visualization model of western Sarpy County using GeoScene3D. In 2016, the contracted airborne electromagnetic surveys (AEM) of the area to be completed to better understand the stratigraphy and hydrogeology of the western Sarpy County area. The PMRNRD determined that they wanted to incorporate the AEM data into a visualization tool (Geoscene 3D) that would allow PMRNRD [...]

Purpose

These datasets were created for input into a 3-D visualization program which combines airborne electromagnetic geophysical data along with supporting information for visualization and geological modeling. Contour files were created to provide the associated files in a format that could be easily viewed with geospatial information system (GIS) software.
