Abstract: This digital data release contains information regarding the three-dimensional distribution and character of surficial materials that may form groundwater aquifers and aquitards within the southern part of the County of Simcoe, south-central Ontario. Data include 1) a summary report (.pdf); 2) ESRI® ArcInfo® grids and comma-delimited (.csv) files of modelled surfaces; 3) Google Earth™ mapping service (.kml, .kmz) files depicting borehole location and stratigraphic information, as well as isopach and structural contour maps of modelled units; 4) high-resolution plates (.pdf) depicting north-south and east-west cross sections, and aquifer recharge and vulnerability maps; and 5) an abbreviated version of the subsurface data (.mdb) used for the construction of the three-dimensional block model, which includes borehole collar and stratigraphic information, picks data, and screen depth and water level information.

Purpose: This project is part of a multi-year program of three-dimensional mapping in southern Ontario.
