    • Shapefiles of hydrogeologic unit extents and top-surface altitude contours used in the revised hydrogeologic framework for the Virginia Coastal Plain Southwest of the James River

    Metadata Updated: September 17, 2025

    A revision to the hydrogeologic framework of the Virginia coastal plain southwest of the James River was developed by USGS during 2019-2021. This revision includes modifications to existing understanding of the groundwater system in Prince George, Surry, Sussex, Isle of Wight, and Southampton counties and the cities of Franklin and Suffolk in southeast Virginia. This USGS data release contains a csv file of interpreted borehole hydrogeologic-unit top-surface altitudes, a shapefile of the study area extent, a shapefile of faults within the study area, shapefiles of altitude contours for 12 hydrogeologic-unit top surfaces, shapefiles of hydrogeologic-unit margins for 10 hydrogeologic-units in the coastal plain of Virginia southwest of the James River. This data supports the following publication Caldwell, S. H., and McFarland, E. R., 2022 , Revision to the Virginia Coastal Plain Hydrogeologic Framework Southwest of the James River: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2022-XXXX, 33 p., DOILINK
