Mammoth Cave, Kentucky: Friends of the Karst. Since then the springs, cave entrances, flow routes, and inferred drainage basins have been digitized as shapefiles for use in GIS analyses. These are available through the Geospatial Data Library at the University of Kentucky, Kentucky Geological Survey website (https://www.uky.edu/KGS/gis/kgs_gis.htm), under the Karst Dye Traces link. This current dataset complements the existing one by making the potentiometric surface available as georeferenced files for use in GIS. I georeferenced the original paper map (Quinlan and Ray, 1981) and then digitized the groundwater potentiometric surface contours. These are in the data set as the shapefiles, QuinlanAndRay_GWContours_16N.* A raster surface was then interpolated using these lines and is available here as PotentiometricSurfaceInterpolated.bil. -86.12 -86.12 37.19 37.19 -86.12 37.19 not specified Mammoth-Cave 37.19 -86.12 14 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Binary Object Binary Bosch Rachel boschrf@mail.uc.edu 0000-0002-8682-1816 Binary Binary Object (Media Type) Binary (Type) Bosch Rachel boschrf@mail.uc.edu 0000-0002-8682-1816 Binary (Type) Binary Object (File Size) Binary (Size) Bytes Bosch Rachel boschrf@mail.uc.edu 0000-0002-8682-1816 Binary (Size) [Bytes] File content Content Bosch Rachel boschrf@mail.uc.edu 0000-0002-8682-1816 Content CurationLevelB Basic curation https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Curation_levels citable groundwater contours potentiometric surface raster layer shapefile author69719 curlevel20 event2972230 geocode1600 geocode1601 license21 param146419 param99583 pi69719 term50987 term68248 term68249 term68250 topotype1
