Data release for depth to bedrock derived from Hydrogeology of Southeastern Connecticut by Melvin (1974)

This data release consists of a single ESRI shapefile, Hydrogeo_SECTpts, with geologic information from the previously published Hydrogeology of Southeastern Connecticut (Melvin, 1974). Test boring location points digitized from georeferenced area maps (1:24,000 scale) are attributed with associated well log information: town, identification numbers, altitude, depth to bottom, and remarks regarding the geology of the well finish. Descriptions for the bottoms of boreholes recorded the source driller's logs.
