<p>Seismic<span> refraction measurements were used to draw a </span>new<span> bedrock contour map </span>in<span> Morris County, </span>New<span> </span>Jersey<span>, where the major ground‐water supplies are found </span>in<span> Quaternary sand and gravel deposits filling pre‐</span>Pleistocene<span> channels. </span>Aquifer<span> performance tests aided </span>in<span> </span>tracing<span> the </span>continuity<span> of the Quaternary </span>aquifers<span> </span>in<span> these channels. </span>In<span> one case, the lack of </span>continuity<span> between two wells substantiated the </span>seismic<span> prediction that two separate channels were involved. The success of the </span>seismic<span> exploration emphasizes the value of using such </span>methods<span>, so that test drilling can be devoted to exploring the more favorable areas for production wells.</span></p>
