The aquifer covers an area\nof approximately 193,000 acres and supplies ground water for\nirrigation, domestic, and industrial purposes in Beckham,\nCuster, Roger Mills, and Washita Counties along the divide\nbetween the Washita and Red River basins.\n\t\t\nThe Elk City aquifer consists of the Elk City Sandstone and\noverlying terrace deposits, made up of clay, silt, sand and\ngravel, and dune sands in the eastern part and sand and gravel\nof the Ogallala Formation (or High Plains aquifer) in the\nwestern part of the aquifer. The Elk City aquifer is unconfined\nand composed of very friable sandstone, lightly cemented with\nclay, calcite, gypsum, or iron oxide. Most of the grains are\nfine-sized quartz but the grain size ranges from clay to cobble\nin the aquifer. The Doxey Shale underlies the Elk City aquifer\nand acts as a confining unit, restricting the downward movement\nof ground water.\n\t\t\nThe aquifer boundaries were digitized from a photocopy of a\npaper map from a ground-water modeling thesis of Elk City\naquifer published at a scale of 1:63,360.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P94PF9EU", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.cca56ed6-8fd3-439f-b5b6-dbef14d402bc.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_cca56ed6-8fd3-439f-b5b6-dbef14d402bc", "keyword": ["Doxey Shale", "Elk City Sandstone", "Elk City Sandstone aquifer", "Elk City aquifer", "High Plains aquifer", "Ogallala Formation", "Ogallala aquifer", "USGS:cca56ed6-8fd3-439f-b5b6-dbef14d402bc", "aquifer boundary", "aquifers", "dune sand", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "ground water", "ground-water vulnerability", "groundwater", "groundwater vulnerability", "inlandWaters", "terrace deposits"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-99.6843, 35.2183, -99.0728, 35.5616", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Elk City aquifer in western Oklahoma"}
