"Unconsolidated aquifers are the most widely used aquifers in Indiana. Types of unconsolidated aquifers include surficial, buried, and discontinuous layers of sand and gravel. Most of the surficial sand and gravel is located in large outwash plains in northern Indiana and along the major rivers in the southern two-thirds of the State. Buried sand and gravel aquifers underlie much of the northern two-thirds of Indiana, where they are typically interbedded with till deposits and can be 10 to 400 ft deep. Discontinuous sand and gravel deposits are present as isolated lenses, primarily in glaciated areas."
A LYR (Aquifers_unconsolidated_USGS_IN.lyr) file accompanies this data layer to assist the user with symbolization so that the vertical sequence of aquifer systems can be visualized in geographic information system (GIS) software, particularly ESRI software products.
