NJ DEP Geology

No authnj-dep-geology

New Jersey Geological & Water Survey GIS (NJDEP ArcGIS, mapsdep.nj.gov). No auth. NE-US geology, aquifers, structural geology, recharge, and the 36 oil & gas exploration wells ever drilled in NJ. Two MapServers: Geology (bedrock/surficial geology, bedrock + surficial aquifer extents, faults, folds, recharge + sole-source aquifers, exploration wells) and Environmental_mon_gw (ambient groundwater-quality stations: metals/ions/nutrients/pesticides/radionuclides/VOC + USGS NWIS). searchExplorationWells/searchGroundwaterQuality return records or format:'geojson'; getBedrockGeology/getAquifers/getFaultsAndFolds/getGroundwaterRechargeAreas return polygon/line GeoJSON. Faults and recharge are dense — pass a bbox/near.

Methods (7)

  • searchExplorationWells

    read

    NJ oil & gas / exploration wells by county/name or near a point (36 records).

  • getBedrockGeology

    read

    Bedrock geology polygons by unit name or bbox/near as GeoJSON for a map.

  • getAquifers

    read

    Bedrock or surficial aquifer extent polygons by name/location as GeoJSON.

  • getFaultsAndFolds

    read

    Fault and fold linework as GeoJSON (requires a bbox/near bound).

  • getGroundwaterRechargeAreas

    read

    Recharge (bounded) + sole-source aquifer polygons as GeoJSON.

  • searchGroundwaterQuality

    read

    Ambient GW-quality monitoring stations by analyte group + county/location.

  • getServiceInfo

    read

    Connector surface, layer ids, field meanings, and live record counts.
