Lineage
  • Hua Zhang, drew lines perpendicular to elevation contours of the water table (See metadata for coverage, WTLN) on a 1:100,000 scale paper plot of the contours.

    •  
  • These lines were digitized in ARCEDIT.

    •  
  • The ARC command 'arcarrows' turned these lines into arrows on the main water table map on The Stearns County Geologic Atlas, Part A, Plate 8.
