Figure 13. Map of the subsurface bedrock topography in Nemaha, Brown,
western Doniphan, northern Jackson, western Atchison, and northwestern Jefferson
counties in northeastern Kansas from Denne et al (1998). A major
northwest-southeast trending buried valley system is present beneath the glacial
deposits in Nemaha and northern Jackson counties. The axis of this buried valley
system is within a few miles of the southwestern edge of the Kickapoo Indian
reservation. Shown on the map as dots are the public water-supply well locations
taken from the WWC-5 records of water-well completion. The numbers next to the
dots indicate the number of wells at each location. Shown by a dashed line also
is the trend of a glacial outwash deposit in Brown County taken from Bayne and
Schowe (1967).
