Abstract:
This is a 1:24,000-scale datalayer of surficial materials for Connecticut. It is a polygon Shapefile that includes one polygon for each surficial material unit. Surficial material units describe textures of unconsolidated glacial and post-glacial materials including gravel, sand, fines, till, alluvium, and swamp deposits. Glacial meltwater deposits (stratified deposits) are described in terms of their vertical distribution of textures as well as their areal extent. These deposits are particularly emphasized because they comprise the major groundwater aquifers in the State and are also a major source of construction aggregate. The texture of meltwater deposits through their total vertical thickness, is shown to the extent that it is known or can be inferred. In some places only one textural unit (such as SG - SAND AND GRAVEL) describes the whole vertical extent of the meltwater deposits; in other places stacked units (such as SG/S/F - SAND AND GRAVEL overlying SAND overlying FINES) indicate vertical changes of texture in the subsurface. This datalayer is based on the Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut, Stone and others, 1992, published at 1:125,000 scale. The surficial materials datalayer was digitized from 1:24,000-scale compilation sheets for the 1:125,000-scale Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut. For a complete description of the Surficial Materials map units and further information concerning the thickness, mode of occurrence and mapping techniques for these deposits, please refer to the 1:125,000-scale Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut The Surficial Materials datalayer is complemented by the Quaternary Geology datalayer, which is based on the by 1:24,000-scale compilation sheets for Quaternary Geologic Map of Connecticut and Long Island Sound Basin (U.S.G.S. Open File Report 98-371). This map provides information on the distribution of depositional environments of glacial meltwater deposits. Both the 1:125,000-scale Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut and the Quaternary Geologic Map of Connecticut and Long Island Sound Basin are available for purchase at the DEP Store, 79 Elm Street, Hartford, Connecticut 06106.
