Description: This map from the U. S. Geological Survey Water Resources Investigation Report number 96-4063, Hydrology of the Surficial and Intermediate Aquifer Systems in Sarasota and Adjacent Counties, shows the generalized thickness in feet of permeable zone 1 of the intermediate aquifer system in Sarasota and adjacent counties. The zero-foot line represents the extent of the unit. In the study area of the southwest region of Florida, the Upper Floridan aquifer is overlain by a surficial aquifer system and an intermediate aquifer system made up of 3 distinct permeable zones separated by confining units. The map scale is 1:2,000,000.
