    <descript>
      <abstract>Contours (20-foot interval) showing altitude of the bedrock surface in feet above NGVD 29 underlying the alluvium in the Lower Arkansas River Valley, Southeast Colorado. Source contours scale was 1:62,500. All digitizing and geoprocessing was done using ArcGIS Desktop v10 (Environmental Systems Research Institute, 2011)</abstract>
      <purpose>This dataset was used in an analysis with land surface altitude to derive thickness of the alluvium  and saturated thickness (see cross references) in a portion of the alluvium of the Lower Arkansas River Valley, Southeast Colorado</purpose>
