Abstract This data set contains point locations and selected attributes for water wells within Montana abstracted from databases maintained at the Ground-Water Information Center (GWIC) at the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. Original data sources include water rights filings, water well logs, visits to water wells, and publications of the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, the U.S. Geological Survey, and others. The databases are maintained at the Ground-Water Information Center. Ground-water site locations and selected fields are forwarded annually to the State Library.Fields provided in this data set are a subset of the fields available in the database at the GWIC. Additional data for ground-water resources in Montana can be obtained from the GWIC website at http://mbmggwic.mtech.edu.
Purpose Data from GWIC are useful for describing the ground-water resources of Montana, land use planning, determination of drilling depths, and understanding ground-water flow.
Supplemental Information
These data are currently intended to provide information on the distribution of wells in general rather than the locations of specific wells. Most of the well locations are derived from 1:250,000 scale maps and individual well identities should not be shown at map scales larger than this. Well data is updated continually at GWIC, and individual records at the State Library may be obsolete. Current data for any well, or updated data sets, can be obtained directly from the GWIC website at http://mbmggwic.mtech.edu.
