Digitized Historical Borehole Geophysical Logs in and near the Mississippi Alluvial Plain Aquifer System

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This data release consists of historical borehole geophysical data collected by various entities and digitized by the U.S. Geological Survey to characterize the physical properties of the subsurface in and near the Mississippi Alluvial Plain from Louisiana to Missouri. The geophysical log data were collected by different Federal, state, and local agencies throughout the area and were obtained from three sources: Hart and Clark (2008), the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) (Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, 2019), and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LADNR). The log data generally consisted of either scanned .jpg or .tif images of the original log. The data were digitized using Neurolog v.2015.12 (NeuraLog, 2018). The digitization process involves tracing each log over a user-defined grid area; the traces can be exported in various formats such as .las (log ascii standard) file that can be read into other software packages.
