The Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Project contains several geologic units which act as important aquifers. We collected several sets of time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) data consisting of two higher-density surveys and six regional-scale transects.
Learn MoreThe relevant state outline (arcs) was removed from the coverage and replaced with the arcs from the 1:100,000 Scale State Boundaries of the Conterminous United States. This allows for a seamless fit of each state to a standard state boundary base. Water polygons that were generated from the use of this outline are tagged with a source code of
