Subsurface Reconnaissance of Glacial Deposits in Northeastern Kansas

Abstract

In northeastern Kansas, deposits made directly or indirectly by continental glaciation and the alluvial fills of valleys are the most important sources of ground-water supply. During 1948 and 1949 a subsurface reconnaissance of these deposits was made. The results of the work, including the records of 64 test holes, are described in this report and presented on cross sections. The stratigraphic sequence is described.
