This map was compiled and generated in a geographic information system. Digital data products are available from the DNR County Geologic Atlas Program at mndnr.gov/groundwatermapping.
This map was prepared from publicly available information. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the factual data on which this map interpretation is based. However, the DNR does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or any implied uses of these data. Users may wish to verify critical information; sources include both the references in the report and information on file in the offices of the Minnesota Geological Survey and the DNR. Every effort has been made to ensure the interpretation shown conforms to sound geologic and cartographic principles. This map should not be used to establish legal title, boundaries, or locations of improvements.

Water table
Tritium ageDarker color in small vertical rectangle (well screen symbol) indicates tritium age of water sampled in well. Lighter color indicates interpreted age of water in aquifer.
Mixed: water is a mixture of recent and vintage waters (greater than 1 TU to less than 8 TU).
Well not sampled for tritium.
Pumping well
Vintage: water entered the ground before 1953 (less than or equal to 1 TU).
Recent: water entered the ground since about 1953 (8 to 15 tritium units [TU]).
CROSS SECTION EXPLANATION
Interpreted tritium age is indicated by background color
Interpreted tritium age is indicated by pattern color
See Report Figure 1 for geologic unit correlation.
Chloride concentration. If shown, chloride concentration equals or exceeds 5 parts per million and bromide concentration equals or exceeds 0.07 part per million.(* indicates naturally elevated values)
17.2*
If shown, nitrate concentration equals or exceeds 1 part per million.
1.98
If shown, arsenic concentration equals or exceeds 5 parts per billion.
8.1
If shown, manganese concentration equals or exceeds 100 parts per billion.
If shown, groundwater residence time in years as estimated by carbon-14 (14C) isotope analysis.

Groundwater flowpath is unknown (deep groundwater, recent or mixed tritium age).
