Configuration of the Base of the Surficial Aquifer System in Dade County, WRIR 90-4108, figure 13
Abstract: Contours of the base of the surficial aquifer system are shown on this map. The base of the aquifer system occurs at a relatively uniform elevation of 180 to 220 ft below sea level over most of Dade County. The highest bottom elevation (138 ft below sea level) and minimum thickness of the surficial aquifer occur in southeastern Dade County. Two other high areas at about 150 to 160 ft below sea level occur in northwestern and north-central Dade County. A shallow basin reaching a depth of 238 ft below sea level occurs in west-central and south-western Dade County. The lowest elevation of the base and greatest thickness of the surficial aquifer system occur in northeastern Dade County where the base slopes downward to greater than 260 ft below sea level, as it does in eastern Broward County.
