Parts of the West Texas Bolsons (Wild Horse Flat, Michigan Flat, Ryan Flat, and Lobo Flat) Aquifer and Igneous Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model (GAM)

This map shows the extent and location of parts of the West Texas Bolsons (Wild Horse Flat, Michigan Flat, Ryan Flat, and Lobo Flat) Aquifer and Igneous Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) contracted with LBG-Guyton and Associates (who was teamed with Water Prospecting and Resource Consulting LLC, John Shomaker and Associates Inc, Daniel B. Stephens and Associates Inc., and several individual experts) to develop a model for parts of the West Texas Bolsons (Wild Horse Flat, Michigan Flat, Ryan Flat, and Lobo Flat) Aquifer and Igneous Aquifer. The project was completed and delivered in 2004.
