      <abstract>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is providing a polygon feature class containing the approximate locations and confining units of the unconfined and confined aquifers within the Binghamton East 1:24,000 quadrangle of south-central Broome County, New York, 2020. The shapefile was created and intended for use with geographic information system (GIS) software. A companion report, USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5026 (Van Hoesen and others, 2021; https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215026) further describes data collection and map preparation.</abstract>
      <purpose>These digital datasets were the results of a study to investigate the hydrogeology of the Susquehanna River Valley in south-central Broome County and to map the extent of the glacial aquifers in the towns of Conklin and Kirkwood, New York; they support USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5026, "Hydrogeology of the Susquehanna River valley-fill aquifer system in the towns of Conklin and Kirkwood, Broome County, New York."</purpose>
