This isopach map shows the thickness of the interval from the top of the Copper Ridge Dolomite to the top of the Mt. Simon Sandstone and latterly equivalent lower Cambrian confining units. It was created by computer interpolation (kriging) of borehole data for much of the map extent. In several places the computer generated contours were modified by hand to accommodate faults or where such modification was deemed necessary by other geologic information that was available. In Kentucky, the extensive faulting required that the data be interpolated by hand. The map displays the thickness from the top of the Trempealeau Formation to the top of the Mt. Simon formation in Michigan. In Indiana the units displayed are the top of the Potosi Dolostone to the top of the Mt. Simon. Within Ohio the top the Basal Sandstone transitions to top of the Mt. Simon from East to West. The top of the Copper Ridge Dolostone to the tops of these two formations show the thickness in Ohio. Within Kentucky the map conveys the top of the Copper Ridge to the tops of the Basal Sandstone, Rome formation, and the Mt. Simon, which trend East to West respectively. Eastern West Virginia is shown by the top of the Conococheague Group to the top of the Antietam. The thickness in western West Virginia is composed of the top of the Copper Ridge to the top of the Basal Sandstone. In western Pennsylvania the thickness extends from the top of the Middle Dolomite Member to the top of the Potsdam Sandstone. More detailed mapping of these units is planned for phase II of the project.<\/SPAN><\/P> Author/Originator: The Geological Surveys of Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia<\/SPAN><\/P> Date Created: 2005<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
