DETAILED AQUIFER MAPPING OF THE SPRINGVILLE, N.Y. AREA Erie, Cattaraugus, and Wyoming Counties, New York

Introduction Public-water systems at Springville and Yorkshire/Delavan, N.Y. along Cattaraugus Creek draw from local groundwater resources and serve about 5,500 people (U.S. EPA SDWIS database). The remainder of the population obtains water from domestic wells, many of them completed in glacial aquifers. A Cattaraugus Creek tributary valley (Buttermilk Creek) to the south is the site of...

Geospatial Datasets of the Hydrogeology of Unconsolidated and Bedrock Aquifers along the Salmon River Corridor from the Adirondack Foothills to the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Franklin County, New York Geospatial Datasets of the Hydrogeology of Unconsolidated and Bedrock Aquifers along the Salmon River Corridor from the Adirondack Foothills to the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Franklin County, New York

This data release contains shapefiles and a raster delineating boundaries and features associated with an investigation of the hydrogeology of unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers along the Salmon River corridor near Malone, New York (Fisher and others, 2025). Included shapefiles depict the approximate potentiometric surface of the Potsdam Sandstone, aquifer types, bedrock exposures...

Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) Measurements and Depth to Bedrock Estimates along the Salmon River Corridor from the Adirondack Foothills to the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Franklin County, New York, 2018-2023 Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) Measurements and Depth to Bedrock Estimates along the Salmon River Corridor from the Adirondack Foothills to the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Franklin County, New York, 2018-2023

This data release contains 22 horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) seismic measurements at 21 sites in Franklin County, New York. The HVSR passive seismic method (Lane and others, 2008; Fairchild and others, 2013) is a non-invasive and cost-effective technique for estimating the thickness of unconsolidated sediments over bedrock. This technique uses a single broadband three...

Digital Datasets for the Hydrogeology of the Susquehanna River Valley in South-Central Broome County, Towns of Conklin and Kirkwood, New York Digital Datasets for the Hydrogeology of the Susquehanna River Valley in South-Central Broome County, Towns of Conklin and Kirkwood, New York

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), collected and compiled well records to characterize the valley-fill aquifers of south-central Broome County beginning in 2014. The study area is defined by the limits of the Binghamton East quadrangle, which encompasses 55.5 square-miles (mi^2), and includes a 9...
