Description:

Abstract:

This shape file was derived from the 1981 publication of the Hydrological Atlas of Michigan plate 26. Three plates of the Aquifer Characteristics of Glacial Drift map were scanned, geo-rectified and used as a backdrop in the digitizing of this polgon vector file.

Purpose:

The purpose of this shape file was to convert Plate 26 from the 1981 publication of the Hydrological Atlas of Michigan into a GIS layer that could be used in the Groundwater Mapping and Inventory Project. The original atlas was produced at Western Michigan University Department of Geology in 1981.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The sheets were georeferenced in ArcGIS using the Michigan GeoRef UTM Nad83 meters projection. The images were snapped to a Michigan Framework State County file. Once the images were georeferenced within national mapping standards the images were mosaicked together and combined into one statewide image.
