23 <br />This analysis was then used to develop a map of well yield distribution based on <br />yield alone, and yield by depth. These maps show that there are quantity <br />"contours" -portions of the County where well yield was likely to fall within a <br />certain range. From these data, the highest-yielding contours in the County are <br />an area near the intersection of Dodson's Crossroads and Dairyland Road in <br />Bingham Township, and in south-central Cedar Grove Township. zn these areas, <br />well yields were from 25 gpm to over 100 gpm. Nearly everywhere else in the <br />County, well yield was less than 25 gpm (please see Map 4 below). <br />When adjusted for the difference in well yields by depth of well (Map 5), the <br />highest contours expand in Bingham to the east and southwest, and in Cedar <br />Grove to the west and north. <br />Maps 3 and 4 <br />36° <br />35°97' <br />95°52 <br />T9°15' 79°D'79P 79° <br />15' <br />I r ~ Sk. yy't~ i Lif <br />i'°.:~~1~~ yic5ei' - ::.!f!.Y:~`:~7~.k'~I3.` i~: ._[... .: +.:•4::~=~ <br />'+4:iw•14'y'J: X ~ Tti'" ~ -•.1~~ urUl $ ry '+: xv7;•i <br />(~ _-•^~~}~~~e e'9r1~[~.~~a~ 3 ai~.~; '17,r~r~-r~ rrW . <br />^ •j5;t'Ty.-i.}1. `V ' A~r.r„~~5,'~:y^~ro=,;`3' u~., y <br />36° 1.'%id elii.~y~'P~`..~y+~r?I;,~Y;e;.~}.. -- -y <br />p.,i~S 1 ~ti: nM1 4~yY.1D.~~i~i~~~~~l~~~j4 y~~qi. ~ -_ - ~/ <br />r: i'iP~: EIS '7;~1. - <br />•~~*rp~ -q` - <br />r ~ r ; Yd t:,~ <br />11 t 1 <br />i 1f~ ~~i ` d ~ ®(' <br />R <br />Tye P :-~.o-~~"~ <br />y.~~i~i~a :~ii .~~~'",^~~.
