Description:
Abstract:
This map contains contours of the base of the highly permeable gray limestone aquifer in the Tamiami Formation. The contour interval is 10 feet.
Purpose:
Provide fundamental background information that is basic for qualitative or quantitative evaluations of the ground water resource and the hydraulic response of the system to natural or artificial stresses.

Process_Description:
Base maps were scanned at 300 dpi and stored in tiff file format. Ground control points were ascertained from base map. Base map was imported into ESRI's Arcmap and rectified using a first order polynomial transformation. Heads up digitizing was performed on georeferenced base map to produce vector layer.
