Title: Dakota Aquifer
Description:
Abstract: These coverages show the elevation in feet above mean sea level of the base and top, the extent, the elevation in feet above mean sea level for the potentiometric surface, and the concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/L) of total dissolved solids in ground water of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas. The Dakota aquifer consists of sandstone bodies in the Cretaceous Dakota Formation and Cheyenne Sandstone. The coverages were developed from 1:100,000-, 1:175,000-, 1:500,000-, and 1:1,000,000-scale information. The data used to construct the top and base altitude coverages are from oil and gas exploration and production wells penetrating the Dakota aquifer. The data used to map the altitudes consist primarily of gamma ray logs and supplemented by drillers' logs in the Salina basin of north-central Kansas. Most of the data used to construct the potentiometric surface are from wells screened in the Dakota Formation. Elsewhere, the data are derived primarily from measurements made in wells screened in the Cheyenne Sandstone. The potentiometric surface contour interval is 100 feet. The total dissolved solids coverage's data are from the Dakota Formation, but also includes analyses of ground water from wells screened in the Cheyenne Sandstone and Longford Member of the Kiowa Formation. Its contour interval is variable and increases with increasing concentration.
Purpose: This coverage was developed as part of a larger project to define the extent, the chemical quality, and flow systems within the major aquifers in Kansas. The data presented can be used to delineate the dominant features of the regional flow system within the Dakota aquifers. Such information is valuable in studies focusing on the management of water resources in the Dakota aquifers and other hydraulically connected sources of water.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
Datasets delivered to the Data Access and Support Center are quality assurance tested for major documentation and topological errors using macros. The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following:
Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected.

Contours for north-central Kansas are adjusted using information from Chu (1995; 1:500,000). The data used to produce these maps were derived from analysis of gamma-ray logs and driller's logs of oil and gas exploration and production wells and manually digitized into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection and posted on 1:500,000 scale paper maps. The posted data were manually contoured and were digitized directly into ARC/INFO. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is within suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). The resulting coverage was produced by clipping the appropriate parts of the coverages listed above and joining them together by manual editing in ARC/INFO. The extent of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas is defined by the eastern and southern extents of the Lower Cretaceous rock units in Kansas. Portions of this boundary were taken from the Geologic Map of Kansas (Ross, 1991; scale 1:500,000) and in north-central Kansas from Wade (1992; scale 1:24,000) where the base of the Lower Cretaceous Series crops out at the surface. Elsewhere the aquifer is inferred from subsurface mapping which was made from gamma-ray logs of boreholes drilled for oil and gas exploration and production and from test holes (Macfarlane el al., 1990; scale 1:1,000,000 and Macfarlane et al., 1993; scale 1:500,000). The aquifer extent is subdivided into confined and outcrop/subcrop portions. Where confined, the Dakota is overlain by younger Cretaceous strata of various thickness. The aquifer is considered to be at or near the surface outcrop area and is overlain by younger Cenozoic deposits, such as the Ogallala Formation, in the subcrop area. The extent was manually converted into digital information by digitizing directly into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is close to the suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). Process_Date: 1995 Process_Step: Process_Description: The eastern and southern extents of the Lower Cretaceous rock units in Kansas. Portions of this boundary were taken from the` Geological Map of Kansas (Ross, 1991; scale 1:500,000) and in north-central Kansas from Wade (1991; scale 1:24,000) where the base of the Lower Cretaceous Series crops out at the surface. Elsewhere, the aquifer extent is inferred from subsurface mapping which made from gamma-ray logs of boreholes drilled for oil and gas exploration and production and from test holes (Macfarlane et al., 1990; scale 1:1,000,000 and Macfarlane el al., 1993; scale 1:500,000). The aquifer extent is subdivided into confined and outcrop/subcrop portions. Where confined, the Dakota is overlain by younger Cenozoic deposits, such as the Ogallala Formation, is the subcrop area. The extent was manually converted into digital information by digitizing directly into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is within the suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). Process_Date: 1985 Process_Step: Process_Description: The digital map of the potentiometric surface of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas is based on a contour map of the pre-development potentiometric surface of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas by Macfarlane el al. (1990; scale 1:1,000,000). No additional data were used to supplement the pre-development data due to the limited use of the aquifer over most of Kansas and the 100-foot contour interval of the original map. The original map was produced using data from the Central Midwest Regional Aquifer Systems Analysis Program (CMRASA) project files (U.S. Geological Survey, Lawrence, Kansas) and supplemented by data from the Dakota Aquifer Program (Kansas Geological Survey, Lawrence, Kansas). The point data were digitized into ARC/INFO and posted on a paper copy of a 1:500,000-scale base map of Kansas showing the extent of the Dakota aquifer, and then manually contoured. The resulting contour map was compared with a contour map of the potentiometric surface of the Dakota aquifer in eastern Colorado (Robson and Banta, 1987). The Kansas map was manually digitized into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is within the suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). The extent of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas is defined by the eastern and southern extents of the Lower Cretaceous rock units in Kansas. Portions of this boundary were taken from the Geologic Map of Kansas (Ross, 1991; scale 1:500,000) and in north-central Kansas from Wade (1992; scale 1:24,000) where the base of the Lower Cretaceous Series crops out at the surface. Elsewhere, the aquifer extent is inferred from subsurface mapping which was made from gamma-ray logs of boreholes drilled for oil and gas exploration and production and from test holes (Macfarlane et al., 1990; scale 1:1,000,000 and Macfarlane et al 1993; scale 1:500,000). The aquifer extent is subdivided into confined and outcrop/subcrop portions. Where confined, the Dakota is overlain by younger Cenozoic deposits, such as the Ogallala Formation, in the subcrop area. The extent was manually converted into digital information by digitizing the boundary directly into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is within the suggested Natioanl Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). Process_Date: 1995 Process_Step: Process_Description: The digital map of the concentration in mg/L of total dissolved solids in ground water from the Dakota aquifer in Kansas is for the upper Dakota aquifer in Kansas (Whittemore et al., 1995; scale 1:100,000). This map was produced primarily using chemical analyses of water samples from the Dakota aquifer contained in the KWATCHEM database maintained by the Dakota Aquifer Program at the Kansas Geological Survey, Lawrence, Kansas. The data source was supplemented by total dissolved solids concentration values derived from the analysis of geophysical logs of oil and gas production and exploration boreholes in northwest Kansas (Boeken, 1995). Geographic coordinates for the sample locations were extracted from the digital database and posted using ARC/INFO on a paper copy of a 1:500,000 scale base map of Kansas showing the extent of the Dakota aquifer, and manually contoured. The contour map of dissolved solids concentrations was manually digitized into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is within the suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). The extent of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas is defined by the eastern and southern extents of the Lower Cretaceous rock units in Kansas. Portions of this boundary were taken from the Geologic Map of Kansa (Ross, 1991; scale 1:500,000) and in north-central Kansas from Wade (1992; scale 1:24,000) where the base of the Lower Cretaceous Series crops out at the surface. Elsewhere, the aquifer is inferred from subsurface mapping which was made from gamma-ray logs of boreholes drilled for oil and gas exploration and production and from test holes (Macfarlane et al., 1990; scale 1:1,000,000 and Macfarlane et al., 1993; scale 1:500,000). The aquifer extent is subdivided into confined and outcrop/subcrop portions. Where confined, the Dakota is overlain by younger Cretaceous strata of varying outcrop area or is overlain by younger Cenozoic deposits, such as the Ogallala Formation, in the subcrop area. The extent was manually converted into digital information by digitizing the extent directly into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is close to suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Negbert, 1989). Process_Date: 1995 Process_Step: Process_Description: The digital map of the altitude of the Dakota aquifer top in Kansas is based on contour maps of the top configuration of the Dakota Formation in Kansas (Macfarlane et al., 1990; scale 1:100,000) and top configuration of the upper Dakota aquifer (Dakota Formation), the Kiowa shale aquitard and the lower Dakota aquifer (Longford Member and Cheyenne Sandstone) in southwestern Kansas (Macfarlane et al., 1993). Contours for the north-central Kansas area were adjusted using information from Chu (1995; 1:500,000). These maps were derived from analysis of gamma-ray logs and of driller logs of oil and gas exploration and production wells. The data were manually digitized into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in. at the original scale of the map or about 120m on the ground. The RMSE is within the suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in. at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989). These maps were used to delineate the top of the confined Dakota aquifer and in central Kansas, the altitude of the aquifer top beneath the alluvium of the major streams crossing the Dakota aquifer outcrop area. The contour maps were supplemented with data for the altitude of the bedrock surface beneath the High Plains aquifer in Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 3 (Watts and Stullken, 1985) and the Big Bend Groundwater Management District No. 5 (Sophocleous et al., 1993). In these districts the Dakota aquifer subcrops beneath the High Plains aquifer is not shown in central Kansas where the Dakota aquifer outcrops or is covered by thin alluvium or terrace deposits. In this part of the state the altitude of the top is considered to be equivalent to the land surface elevation or at a depth of less than 50 ft. below the surface in river valleys. The extent of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas is defined by the eastern and southern extents of the Lower Cretaceous rock units in Kansas. Portions of this boundary were taken from the Geologic Map of Kansas (Ross, 1991; scale 1:500,000) and in north-central Kansas from Wade (1992; scale 1:24,000) where the base of the Lower Cretaceous Series crops out at the surface.
