Potentiometric surface of the Aquia Aquifer in southern Maryland during the Fall of 1986
Thr potentiometric map is highlighted with indications concerning: (1) outcrop areas of the Aquia aquifer; (2) the potentiometric contour of the aquifer; (3) observation and/or supply wells yielding < 10,000 gallons/day (gpd); and (4) other supply wells with yields > 10,000 gpd. (Lantz-PTT)

Potentiometric surface of the Magothy Aquifer in southern Maryland during the Fall of 1986
The potentiometric map is highlighted with indications concerning: (1) outcrop areas of the Magothy aquifer; (2) the potentiometric contour of the aquifer; (3) observation and/or supply wells yielding < 10,000 gallons/day (gpd); and (4) other supply wells with yields > 10,000 gpd. (Lantz-PTT)

Preliminary map showing the difference between the potentiometric surfaces of the Aquia aquifer of April 1979 and September 1982 in southern Maryland
A map was prepared that shows the net change in the potentiometric surface of the Aquia aquifer in southern Maryland between April 1979 and September 1983. During this period, the potentiometric surface declined (1) at least a few feet throughout the entire southern Maryland area, and (2) more than 10 feet in the eastern Charles County area and in a few scattered localized areas. The network of observation wells was part of the cooperative program between the U.S. Geological Survey, the Maryland Geological Survey, and the Maryland Energy Administration.

Map showing the potentiometric surface of the Magothy Aquifer in southern Maryland, September 1981
The map is based on measurements from a network of 83 observation wells cased to the Magothy aquifer. Highest levels of the potentiometric surface, 59 to 60 feet above sea level, were measured near the outcrop-subcrop of the aquifer in topographically high areas of Anne Arundel and Prince Georges Counties. The surface slopes to the southeast to above sea level along much of the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. Three separate, distinct, and extensive cones of depression have developed in the potentiometric surface around the well fields of the city of Annapolis-Broadneck Peninsula area, town of Waldorf, and Chalk Point. Several square miles of each cone are below sea level, and, in some areas at Chalk Point and Waldorf, the cone is 40 to 50 feet below sea level. The network of wells was developed as part of the cooperative program between the U.S. Geological Survey, the Maryland Geological Survey, and the Maryland Energy and Coastal Zone Administration.
