Geospatial datasets for Glacial geology and hydrogeology of valley-fill aquifers in the Oneonta area, Otsego and Delaware Counties, New York

From 2016 to 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, conducted a study of the glacial geology and hydrogeology of valley-fill (sand and gravel) aquifers and surrounding uplands within a 112-square-mile area in southern Otsego and northwestern Delaware Counties, New York, centered around the city of Oneonta. The major valleys include those of the Susquehanna River, Otego Creek, Charlotte Creek, and Schenevus Creek. A variety of data were compiled, collected, and synthesized to provide a broad picture of the glacial deposits, hydrogeologic framework, aquifer occurrence, and water-resource potential in the area. Geospatial datasets (shapefiles) of aquifer extents, wells, surficial geology and glacial features are detailed in child items associated with this data release.
