Abstract

In glaciated regions of New England, planners use surficial geology maps, specifically the location of stratified drift deposits, to assess the extent of recharge areas for groundwater aquifers. Surficial geology maps are not available for the entire North-east and soil maps (1:15 840 scale) represent a valuable source of data on the location of stratified drift deposits. Geographic information system analytical methods can be used to determine the correspondence of soil survey maps to US Geological Survey maps with respect to the location of stratified drift deposits. -from Authors
