Geologic map of the Edwards aquifer and related rocks in northeastern Kinney and southernmost Edwards Counties, south-central Texas Scientific Investigations Map 3105 By David W. Moore 2010 INTRODUCTION The results of this mapping of the Geologic Map of the Edwards Aquifer and Related Rocks in Northeastern Kinney County and Southernmost Edwards County, South-Central Texas are presented as a digital map database. This document describes the types and contents of files comprising the database. Information on how to extract and plot the map also is provided. This publication includes ArcGIS (Environmental Systems Research Institute, http://www.esri.com) shapefiles and a geodatabase; Portable Document Format (PDF) files of a map and an accompanying pamphlet; georeferenced TIFF files of the USGS 1:100,000 topographic quadrangle base map and grayscale shaded-relief base map; and a text file of FGDC- compliant metadata for the report.
