Description:
Abstract: In order to support science-based water resource management, a systematic effort was undertaken to characterize the nature and function of the hydrogeology in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. Jo Daviess County is a karst area. Karst is a geologically and hydrologically integrated or interconnected and self-organizing network of landforms and subsurface large-scale, secondary porosity created by a combination of fractured carbonate bedrock, the movement of water into and through the rock body as part of the hydrologic cycle, and physical and chemical weathering (Panno, S.V. et al, 2017). Springs, cover-collapse sinkholes, crevices, and caves are among the defining features of a karst terrain; each of these features is found in Jo Daviess County. Examples of these features have been located in the field and characterized by scientists from the Illinois State Geological and Water Surveys (Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). The lead-zinc ore deposits of the Driftless Area, which includes Jo Daviess County, were emplaced within the Galena Dolomite 270 million years ago (Brannon et al. 1992). Ore-forming and associated solutions (hot brines) migrated through carbonate rocks along existing fractures and were responsible for enlarging many of these fractures into crevices. The crevices and infilling sulfide ore deposits created by these solutions have the same distribution and orientation as those identified as crop lines by Panno, Luman and Kolata (2015) using remote sensing techniques. Consequently, maps of mines and mining activities reflect the fracture and crevice orientations and provide additional information about the physical characteristics of the bedrock and aquifers of the Driftless Area. This dataset was developed from the original IMDA documents by the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) in fulfillment a grant from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP). The IMDA is a detailed set of paper records for the Lead-Zinc District in Jo Daviess County in northwestern Illinois for the period 1949-1970. The IMDA consists of large-scale (1"=200') 36"x30" sheet section maps depicting mining digs and borehole locations, and a set of 8-1/2"x11" datasheets containing borehole logs and mineral analyses (assays and/or visual estimates at various depths).Information extracted from original borehole logs and map sheets allowed for the point digitizing of 4,871 borehole locations in Jo Daviess County. Currently, 2,663 of these boreholes have each been assigned an API (American Petroleum Institute) number by the Illinois State Geological Survey; an API number is a unique, permanent, numeric identifier assigned to each well (borehole) drilled in the United States. In addition, the original driller’s log sheets for all 4,871 boreholes have been scanned and are available online as pdf formatted documents. The lead, zinc, and iron mineralization data by depth for the 2,663 boreholes with API numbers have been input into the Illinois State Geological Survey's Oracle Database and these information are provided in the Boreholes GIS dataset as a related table.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report: The United States Bureau of Mines, Illinois Mineral Development Atlas (IMDA) mining borehole datasheets, numbering 2,774 paper sheets contained in letter-size binders, and 247 oversize map sheets, each approximately 2.5 x 3 feet in size, for the Lead-Zinc mining district of Jo Daviess County IL were individually scanned at 600 dpi by Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) staff. Each IMDA map sheet represents one square mile and manually drafted at a scale of 1 inch = 200 feet. The map sheets depict the outlines of existing lead-zinc mines Jo Daviess County; in addition, the precise locations of all mining boreholes were delineated on each map sheet. As part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) preservation project, ISGS staff georeferenced the 247 scanned map sheets using ESRI ArcGIS geographic information systems software; the base for the digitizing was an ISGS GIS dataset of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Section-Township boundaries for Jo Daviess County, which is part of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management national PLSS database. All mine boundaries and the locations of all mining boreholes were manually digitized, which therefore also spatially tied each of the 2,774 mining boreholes to their corresponding log sheet; the line-digitized mine boundaries and borehole point locations were then stored as feature layers in an ArcGIS File Geodatabase. Metadata for the 4,871 boreholes were entered into a database and reconciled with existing log data at the ISGS. These metadata records were uploaded to the USGS NGGDPP National Catalog.

Process Step:
Process Description: This dataset was developed from the original IMDA documents by the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) in fulfillment of a grant from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP). The grant project scanned IMDA mining borehole datasheets and corresponding location maps for the Lead-Zinc mining district. The maps were georeferenced and used to precisely locate each borehole (this dataset) as well as create GIS outlines of mined areas as marked on the maps (separate and co-related datasets). The project results included GIS location and basic data for 4871 boreholes each linked to the corresponding datasheet/log, outlines of 15 known (named) mines, and outlines of 310 unknown mines/diggings, all precisely located from 246 section maps. To facilitate borehole and other feature digitization, the 246 georeferenced map images were programmatically trimmed at the section lines and combined into a single mosaicked image using automated methods. This eliminated the need to handle 246 separate map layers in GIS, as well as the need to frequently re-order or turn on and off map layers in GIS due to adjoining map border overlap. The project also compared and reconciled current ISGS digital records with the IMDA records, filling in gaps in ISGS digital data. Reconciliation also discovered errors in both sets of data which were corrected.
